you mean the justin rose type swing? yea who wants that? jk.
though i do agree with ur first point that tiger is not muscle bound like a bodybuilder, maybe he works out with heavy weights too much and not enough exercises promoting flexibility and joint strength. although i find it hard to believe with all the resources he has at his disposal.
but yea it seems like he makes decisions that would fly in the face of rational expert opinion.(another example being what other posters mentioned-extra long flight back to back weeks.) he needs to reinvent himself and his game if he wants to have a chance but he seems to keep trying to return to the tiger of old.
imvh&(amatuer-armchairqbing-webmd-psychiatric-homeschooled-degree)opinion, its more mental than anything that is probably contributing to his continued deteriorating back and therefore game. not the back deteriorating his game n therefore mental.
in other words, he needs to chk his ego n pride at the door and do some serious soul searchin to see if he wants to put himself through a complete self re-evaluation. this whole impatient trait he keeps referencing when talkn about rehab needs to stop. it's getting pretty embarrassing at this point.
its like he waits for the dr. to give a clean bill of health and then he wants to all ham way too soon. i mean playing a full schedule is great from a fans perspective but i cant see how thats healthy for a guy coming off 3 back surgeries.
