It's important for me to understand more about my swing and my game, no matter who I end up working with.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm pretty much a self-taught player. My swing hasn't changed a whole lot, I don't think. But I watch a lot of people.
My whole career, my swing has always been the most important thing to me. Even when I'm taking a shower, I work on my swing.
When I'm swinging well, nobody hits the golf ball any better than I do.
When I'm playing my best and find myself in contention late on Sundays, it's usually when I'm not thinking about my swing, but rather trusting my setup and smoothly pulling the trigger. I won't completely rely on feel - I like to keep a few images in the back of my mind to make sure that I get the most out of my driver, irons and wedges.
If I had my career to play over, one thing I'd do differently is swing more. Those 1,200 walks I got, nobody remembers them.
Swing is extreme coordination. It's a maintaining balance, equilibrium. It's about executing very difficult rhythms with a panache and a feeling in the context of very strict time. So, everything about the swing is about some guideline and some grid and the elegant way that you negotiate your way through that grid.
I've always swung the same way. The difference is when I swing and miss, people say, 'He's swinging for the fences.' But when I swing and make contact people say, 'That's a nice swing.' But there's no difference, it's the same swing.
I very rarely watch anybody swing. All I do is follow where the ball goes.
I don't need to practice my swing. I grew up with a bat in my hands.
The ultimate judge of your swing is the flight of the ball.
