Why did fluff leave tiger

He wanted to change his swing, Harmon said he wouldn't do anything significant to it. Again, Tiger wanted control and didn't want someone stopping him from doing as he pleased. Although Tiger's knees may have taken a beating, it's not like Harmon wouldn't have adjusted the swing for something like that. At this point of Tiger's swing evolution, you definitely have to wonder where Tiger could be had he stuck to it.

After tons of success with Butch Harmon, and then almost as much if not equal success under Hank Haney, Tiger decided that he needed a third opinion from a swing instructor. And whether the reason is personal or in the swing, Tiger's low period for this swing change is longer than Tiger's ever had to endure. All who combined don't have 10 victories in their career.

And that track record came with an attitude. Foley has proven time and time again that he will come to the plate and bat for his players. However that's never been Tiger's motif. This may seem like a small thing, but realize how much more stress Tiger has put on his body. What metal spikes do is lock in your feet. Without the ability to shift either way, Tiger's swing was not only beating on him, but the resistance added is something that very well could have added to his injury woes over the past few years.

The switch to soft spikes, and more sneaker-like shoes are going to make it easier. However the damage has been done, and a contributing factor was the metal that Tiger walked around with on the bottom of his golf shoes. Tiger may not have been the best putter on tour, but he always made it work when it counted.

Then he came off of the layoff, and he couldn't make a putt. So what was his solution? Switch putters from what he had used for his virtually his entire career. All it's created is a demon in Tiger's game.
