Butch Harmon Discusses Tiger Woods' Swing Changes and Slow Motion Practice
Butch Harmon has shared insights on how slow motion swings played a vital role in Tiger Woods' swing adjustments following his first major victory. Harmon, who coached Woods during much of his early career, believes that amateur golfers can benefit from similar techniques after lessons.
After winning The Masters in 1997, Woods chose to completely revamp his swing, a decision that delayed his next major title for over two years. Harmon emphasized that Woods dedicated significant time to perfecting his new swing, practicing in slow motion to ensure proper form and technique.
Harmon noted that this method allows golfers to feel their movements and achieve the correct positions. He highlighted that even the best players, like Woods, require time and patience to adapt to changes in their game.
