I thought it might be the standard lag pressure drill where you hit 1 club different distances, but it looked weird to see his drive hit the ground 10 to 20 yards out from his tee. I think if I tried to hit my drive 150 yards, I'd have more carry...maybe not...maybe I'll try it

I thought you could take your grip however you'd like as long as the left wedge is intact? Are you just saying with the alignment he's chosen, it's hard to keep the left wedge intact and maintain rhthym? What's stopping him from taking that weaker left hand grip if he takes his grip at fix?
P.S. If you didn't know - BamBam - is in the dog pound, in the house, on our side- if you know what I mean The "Bucket Brigade" is a very small contingency!
I don't want to get drug into this, and I definitely don't want to find out why you need 10-W-40, but I thought I was Bucket's cousin?

If he were to take the weaker grip at fix, wedges intact, it wouldn't be an issue (although he would have a weak left, and would need a slightly stronger right hand grip IMO).
The problem is that with his current grip, if he goes to fix and has both wedges in place, the clubface would be open. A slight arch to the left wrist is needed, which again tends to an open clubface, and is at best a 'manual' in-swing move.
Not bad if your hinge action/swivel is in good shape, and you want to always hit a fade (Hogan), but Tiger often appears to slip back into adding a bit of 'hit' with the right arm, appearing to put his clubface control in his right hand at times to save the shot.
Not a big change in his grip, a matter of a slight turn. He tends to setup/grip better with the short irons naturally from what I see. He is fighting alignments, rather than using them to his advantage.

Mikey . . . you KNOW you can't get in Home De-Pot after what you did with that grout and the PVC pipes.
You need to calm down. You know how your rash flares up when you get "emotional." I put that Barney tape you love in the 8 track player for you this morning. Go in there and rock a little bit. It's going to be OK little buddy.
You're good!

Ed,
It seems to me that this has been the crux of his problem forever. He uses that initial rotional speed from his hips and then almost requires the right arm to catch up, that interferes with cf and he manipulates the hands to square the face. It becomes more of an issue with the driver... I think he'd be a huge candidate for TGM... he is analytical as all get out, and if he understood what was actually happening I believe he'd be able to change... instead of adding compensations, which is what he always appears to do. Am I close?

I think you are all over it. Overacceleration is the menace that stalks all lag and drag. He overloads #4 I think. I think the alignments in his power package look great for Swinging right now. Looks like if he could learn "let" instead of "make" on those driver moves he'd be stanknasty. His move looks better than ever to me right now for swinging anyway.
The "Bucket Brigade" is a very small contingency!
Didn't want to get BamBam too excited.
