Haney's work with Tiger has moved him more towards Hogan's pattern, but the downside is that Tiger tends more towards a simultaneous release, more of a hitter. If he ever fixes his left hand and stops steering around the course he won't have any more final rounds like in China this week.

If you look at Hogan's hands, you can see he is just holding on to the club, the hands are clamps.

If you look at what Tiger is doing in the last year or two, he is making adjustments for impact. He steers it better than anyone, but he is still steering!

Not surprising his instincts are more of a hitter through impact, given his childhood instructor (John Anselmo) had him focus very much on the right wrist bend. the startup swivel and sequenced release of Hogan is a very different feel.

If he would just adjust his left hand grip, I think tiger will be much closer to Hogan, and much, much more consistent.
