As I said above, if he still thinks that he is snapping it and not jumping, well, he is wrong. The reason I capitalized the AT THE TIME above is because I don't think anybody was thinking in terms of ground force reaction in golf in 2001 (when that book was written). Yes it is semantics, but if I told you to "snap your leg" or "jump while turning" which one would get you to the right place faster. Now picture yourself reading that book or, god forbid, taking a TV lesson from Johnny Miller and they ONLY say to snap your leg at impact, well do you think that terminology or "semantics" as you say would get you into the right place?
And yes, for the record, I did just imply that I understand Tiger's 2001 golf swing better than he did AT THE TIME. Cocky ftw.

Because he is programmed like very few people on Earth ever have been. They did warn him and he thinks he is built differently so he didn't take their advice.
He really is living a self inflicted hell right now. Has a massive mansion all to himself and a backyard full of training areas, golf holes, practice greens and a huge gym all to himself. And can't use any of it. It is like having a massive middle finger staring at you from your house at all times, can't escape it.
