Is Tiger Woods' Golf Swing a THROW - Was Mike Austin Right All Along??
In this video, RotarySwing explores how Tiger Woods generates high pelvic rotational velocity through a lead-leg block and right-hand throw motion. The instructor details how posting on the lead hip drives rotation and stretches fascial slings for effortless speed. Key posture setup adjustments, such as trail shoulder retraction, are also demonstrated to keep the swing compact.
Set up with roughly 60% weight on your lead side to prepare the lead hip to fire effectively.
Retract your trail shoulder blade at address to prevent the swing from becoming overly long and disconnected.
Drive the lead hip back forcefully on the downswing (lead leg block) to create explosive pelvic rotation.
Combine lead-leg posting with an active right-hand throwing feel to maximize speed at impact.
