[O.B.Left]

Do you remember the early days of Tiger ramming 10 foot putts like he was trying using back of the cup as a backboard? I think he did make some adjustments cause his speed and distance control is so much better now than those first few years on tour.

He thinks that line is to some extent subject to the vagaries of the greens surface but that speed is totally within his control. He kicks himself for getting the speed wrong. Of the two direction and speed , generally speaking its speed that most of us get wrong, it might be the more crucial of the two in fact.........its way easier to be five feet short than five feet wide. And so he prides himself on speed control these days. His line aint to bad either.

In regard to the way he putted when he first came out on tour.........of all of the things that impress me about that guys game , the way he became the best putter Id ever seen ........after he came out on tour, ranks as #1. He sure wasnt that good at first. Most guys putted their best when they were juniors , Tiger picked his late 20's and early 30's. Its really kinda weird. Not saying he didnt putt well at times, like his first Masters, but he turned into a different animal later.

Anyone know who or what helped him to make this change? He always said his dad was his putting coach but....
