In The Art of Striking, Tiger Woods, arguably the greatest iron player of all time, and Collin Morikawa share their feels, thought processes and swing thoughts on all things irons. From flighting shots into the wind, controlling trajectory and swing speeds, these two know what it takes to hit the proper shot and find the putting surface. What similarities do you see between these two? What differences? Let us know!
If they created a TV show of just Tiger’s unscripted range sessions, I’d watch every episode
i learn very little from him. most of his "brilliance" was around being 50 yards ahead of everyone for his career. was clutch too of course. but his crap doesnt work if he's short off the tee.
@@johntallanger4036 how many tour wins do you have? That is such and ignorant statement. Jon Daly played in the same era and arguably hit it longer than him. Tigers brilliance came from him grinding harder than everyone else.
@@mdlivewirex7 He was 30 yards ahead of everyone and won a lot. Now he is the same length as everyone else and does not win much. It's very simple.
@@johntallanger4036 his putting was too good and that's how he won most of the times. and if you want to compare a 43 yr old tiger with others - you are just mocking yourself.
@@paajithillai The point is still the point. He still putts great. He's now just 30 yards shorter and not way past everyone. That was the big difference.
The part at the end where Collin and Tiger were just calling shots, hitting, and chatting a little was the best. No interruption from Trottie and no overdone explanations.
I dont need to hear the mini dustin johnson guy trying to sound authoratative
Morikawa "As a golfer, you have to be aware of everything." Mini Dustin Jonhson Guy: "100%"
@@johntallanger4036 nah he's going to be better than Johnson.
@@johntallanger4036 Must not know who that is
@@johntallanger4036 Someone has to make up for the 6 words Dustin has in his vocabulary...
Tiger saying the early 2000s and he was all right and dialed in is the understatement of the century.
I also like how he says he “slowed things down” in his teens to take off spin. Idk if he’s seen his own highlights, but his swing was a blur it was so fast.
@@evandh1989 With the wedge it was another matter. In his early days he really struggled with spin on short irons and distance control.
Tiger = GOAT!
Tiger with the 3 iron from that same distance.. no practice swing, might have been his best one.
@@evandh1989 i think that's what he meant, what he feels vs what's real could be very different.
Morikawa is one of the best iron players on tour right now, major winner last year, and Tiger just completely schooled him with that high draw 6 iron and then even more with the slowed down 3 iron draw to the same flag. Levels. Even in his 40's with a shot back he is still the most talented player in the game.
It's so inspiring watching Tiger, I really hope he can make a recovery and come back, if not, it's Charlies turn!!!
I agree, but also, Tiger grew up in the era where you could do a lot more to the ball. Guys 30 years ago and more had to be able to do all kinds of things with all kinds of clubs. Guys nowadays grew up with modern tech and X balls on perfect, flat little gated country clubs. They didn't have to develop many shots the way the old-timers had to to survive and score well.
@@phillipemery572 golf clubs today are designed more for consistency and you’re rewarded for hitting the ball high and straight
@@phillipemery572 damn - how old do you think Tiger is? This ain't Nicklaus here.
@@robmccance Listen to Tiger talk about it himself. He grew up playing blades and balata. Heck, I'm 15 years younger than Tiger and my first set was some old Tommy Bolt blades that I played until almost high school. You don't have to be that old to have learned on the old stuff.
Listening to Tiger explain golf feels exactly like how it was to listen to Kobe explain basketball. The levels of knowledge and understanding are insane.
Noticed this parallel as well, good catch
Rest In Peace Kobe
Kobe: "Jordan." swoosh.
I feel so sorry for people who don’t know about the greatness of golf. It’s so much more than just a game. Prayers up for Tiger get well soon.
Or people who have opinions?
They wouldn’t be watching this if they don’t know “greatness of golf”
Collin is a mortal where there are some shots he can't hit comfortably. Tiger on the other hand can hit every shot at every distance with every club, as long as it's physically possible. When tiger stands in from of 160 yards hole, he must be like "that leaves me with 82 possible shots with 9 possible clubs including my putter"
😂😂😂😂😂 it’s really wild when you think about it
finally a video where Tiger doesn't look as uncomfortable as if he were having dinner with his girlfriends parents for the first time
Tigers girlfriend: daddy can you pass the salt (tiger and father both go for the salt at the same time)
@@darrenbyrne5345 lol
I sincerely think Tiger sees himself in Colin. Please don't malign my comment.
He's finally being asked direct questions that aren't "how are you so much better at golf that other people that have played golf before" lol. He loves to let people pick his brain, but the only people that ask him good questions are the other players. Specifically, Jason Day. Day rambles a little bit, but he gets some good info out of Tiger vs any of the TM talking heads.
He likes Colin, but we all know he sees and wants JT to be his predecessor
Hope tiger is recovering well🙏🏽
Me too!
Me three!!!!
Obviously!
Hes back;)
In an era of hearing about distance, rotation, and ground forces it refreshing to hear two of the greatest ball strikers talk about feel and hand speed.
Well these guys do all of the above just naturally good. Whereas amateurs aren’t nearly doing any of that stuff correctly
Too much emphasis is put on keeping the hands passive, but understanding proper hand action is critical for striking the ball well. Clubhead speed means nothing if you are wiping past the ball every time. Amateurs need to learn to get their hands turning down properly through the ball.
@@phillipemery572 incorrectly using hands< passive hands
yeah imagine tossing dechambeau in the middle of those two. JT would have been great though
Hands are connected to the club. Easiest way to manipulate it. The fine line between too much and too little.
Collin is wise beyond his years. Every interview or video I see of him, he impresses me more and more. He will win many more tournaments in his career.
Yep, he will no doubt go on to be one of the greats.
He is going to be amazing for years to come, you can tell he loves the game
Good thing he can play. His personality is bland. His interview was the worst on Golf Sub Par.
Tiger pulls out the 3i just to show everyone who their daddy is
And not only a 3i, a butterknife blade 3 iron haha
that was disgusting
Get back in your box Colin 😝😝 boom 3 iron draw
@@lukedaunt4434 And he hit it to the same pin he hit his full 6 iron to, I can hit my 3 iron the same distance as my 6 iron too but not on purpose
@@frederikandersen6244 +draw
That 163 yard 3 iron was insane. What a legend. It's tough to take yards off with a draw. Pretty great!
probably not a useful shot
@@johntallanger4036 maybe only twice in a career.
@@mjlove07101996 if that. good practice shot though to hit once in a while. and honestly, not that difficult. still cool he did it on first try.
Isn’t that pretty short for a 3i 163yards.?
LOL one of the easiest things to do! To get yardage with a draw you have to give it height to run out. A cut is going to stall near the apex and float down. The difference between hitting a 3 and 7 draw is that you're hitting much slower with a 3 iron while trying to get the same flight-line as with a 7-iron! That is what makes it really tough, taking half swings with low-irons and still getting the correct flight-path. Somewhere between a chip and a pitch, when normally you're hitting at least 3/4 swings with the higher irons because shots are more consistent that way.
I think having Colin there helps to show, all the more, just how amazing Tiger is. Colin is one of the best golfers in the game, he's supposed to be one of the best ball strikers, and even he is struggling slightly to make these shots. Tiger hit them all. The only one he "missed" was his 2nd to last, which he left a little wide to the right. Everything else was on the money, in real time. Absolutely incredible.
that sliwed down 3 iron by tiger was crazy
Amazing the similarities between the Tiger and Colin thought process. Colin was humble enough to say he DOESN’T have the high draw… trust me it’s coming as he continues to work on his golf game.
...that's not humility, that's just a plain fact...he admits that he doesn't have it and therefore won't have to try to hit it and make it on camera :) A wise man never claims that he can do something that he can't do.
I LOVE the talk about confidence/aggressive but to certain shots depending on all of the factors they talk about. Additionally, these videos where Tiger just hits a perfect 3ir to a 165 flag into the wind with a baby draw - on command - makes me wonder if we _really_ knew how good he was in the 2000s.
I could watch Tiger drink coffee. allll day. Watching him hit masterful golf shots still in his mid 40s is special. I really hope his recovery is flying by. Can't wait to see him back in any way
what a privilege to witness one of the all time greatest players going through different shots and thoughts with one of the best aspring players.
This is the type of content we want!!! Keep it up TM
Agreed, I love and appreciate these longer form informational content with fewer pros that have the best chemistry. It was truly a pleasure to watch these guys enjoy and appreciate each other's game.
This is some of the best insight into the best ball striker in the history of the game and one of the best young ball strikers on tour... best golf video I’ve watched on KZhead in ages!!!
Their golf IQ is just at another level! Just in awe!
Wow just shows what a master and artist Tiger is. Like a painter who knows what brush, what colors, and wrist movements to use to paint a beautiful picture. That last 3 iron draw was the cherry on top!
This is why Tiger will always be different as a golfer and one of the greatest players who's ever lived. He's literally a golf artist
that stuff is mostly b.s. he won bc he was 50 yard ahead of the field. take that away and the rest isnt as meaninful...like when he plays now

The sound of Tiger's shot is unlike anyone else, even compared to a great ball striker like Collin. So pure!
Love these videos…I know it’s ‘advertising’, but I could sit and watch/listen to pros, and especially Tiger, talk about how they think about and hit shots like this all day.
"putting uphill, i like that" 16:12. So casual yet so damn masterful. Tigers smile says it all.
I’ve been watching iron videos all evening working on perfecting my irons strikes more. Every single one I’ve watched there’s been a feel and real quote. It’s really so true, I hope some day for a lesson from a high up like this. They truly think different. Had to leave a comment for comment 1000 on this video! Thanks TaylorMade
Best open dialog I've ever heard Tiger discuss golf. He's older and more chilled. Great stuff!
Damn Trottie, let them finish their sentences once in a while
Wanna watch him steal a conversation? Watch him turn Tommy Fleetwood's WITB into the who gives a crap Trottie interview Good on him for trying to keep a crew of guys in line and delivering on content... But boy does he enjoy the spotlight
Did you watch a different video to me? I really enjoyed hearing from them!
@@Supermahon949 right, he always has to prove that he knows the game as well. Maybe short man syndrome
He loves to hear himself talk, that's for sure.
Glad I'm not the only one who can't stand him 😂
Tiger straight showing off with that 3 iron draw
Crazy how in sync Colin and Tiger are at 0:13
Tiger has not responded to a single player in history like he responds to what Colin says and explains. Huge sign of Colin’s expertise. And big props to Trottie on being able to converse with these players on a level they understand and can respond to. Well done
Asians
@@johntallanger4036 exactly
@@MrAmra16 Say what you want about their creativity but they are most certainly analytical. The announcer guy thinks he's on Barstool Sports.
@@johntallanger4036 you know Tiger is half Asian right?
@@chao-hantsai1723 also probably why Tiger is so analytical and intelligent at what he does lol. I joke but both of them are insanely SMART golfers, not just good golfers.
Biggest lesson is right at the end where you see them playing around with different clubs, trajectories and shot shapes. That’s why they’re such good ball strikers
Getting to see videos like this is amazing. Getting to see the greatest to ever swing a club, talk about how he feels shots, and to see him just swinging and schooling one of the best modern iron players…. Just purely amazing.
This is the type of quality we needed, Taylormade.
The best part of the Team TaylorMade videos is what the golfers say, not their actual shots. We all know they can play, but the inside information on HOW they play is priceless. Two thumbs up.
9:00 It's so fun (and so educational) hearing how Tiger thinks his way around the course. So much knowledge that you just don't hear anywhere else.
Tiger drops a 6 iron 165 with a high cut, 168 with a high draw, then a low 3 to 163? Justin Thomas said 2-3 years ago that Tiger had shots he still doesn't have. Tiger showed here that Collin doesn't have those shots either. Really puts a lot in perspective as to why Tiger has 82 wins and a 23-24% win percentage. GOAT.
This video is worth its weight in gold in terms of thought process before a shot. Fascinating discussion and the differences between two of the very best.
This is fantastic stuff, seriously. Please keep posting vids of pros talking about their swings/feels. So much fantastic info!
The first Taylor made video where tiger looks like he actually wants to be there, rather than just being there cos he has to be
Yeah... to be honest all the other stuff is basically childs play. Longdrive, flop contest etc... This is skill. No one has more skill than Tiger, so naturally he's keen on that. Had this been in 2000, he would probably be hitting that 43.5" steel shafted Titleist 975D the same lengths as Rory and DJ are hitting the newest TM driver today!
This is my favourite Taylor made episode by far. Just amazing pearls of wisdom... 🔥
The little chat about feel and observation really clicked with me. You can also feel the affinity between these two excellent players.
This was a great video. Really interesting to hear how these two describe their shots. Trottie did a great job promoting discussion and simply letting them talk without interrupting.
Can Taylormade just replace Trottie with someone who actually listens to what these players say?
This guy is beyond awful. Stick to making clubs, chief.
@@lowcodelucas1088 9:50 "Imagine the pin is behind the trap. Show me a shot. Change clubs if you need to." What a douche. I love how the just ignore him. LOL
Yes please...
Pleeeease
They dont need to replace him, just remove him... he's super annoying...
Well done Taylor Made - top quality content. Amazing to hear them geek out on feel vs reality of the swing 👍🏼 🏌🏽♂️
Love these types of in-depth videos. Keep them coming Taylormade and can’t wait to see the GOAT back in action
Best video to watch while on a conf. call at work...repeatedly !!
I love that Tiger has never become jaded by this game, despite the fact that is he is the GOAT with nothing to prove. He still geeks out on shotmaking and continues to hone his craft.
8:50 love tiger making the distinction about being aggressive to his spot.
I could sit there and watch and learn until infinity twice and still never get bored with these guys ❤🏌♂️
Man I pray to God we can see Tiger like this again.
Me too!
Me three!!!
Even if we don't see Tiger play again, Charlie is a spitting image of him. Would love to see both of them competing in a Major some day!
Keep praying bc it will never happen again..dude is damaged goods
@@DTB1995 Aye cringe lord watch your mouth your profile picture literally says "Choose faith over fear."
So cool how everyone respects tiger. He's all of their heroes, and I love they're not afraid to say it
You can respect a player without being a creampuff. You sound like a kid wearing underoos.
One of the best young players in the world and a major champion just admitted he doesn't a shot that Tiger has. Levels to this.
Now this is some content!!! Amazing. Could listen for hours.
Last few minutes of this video is gold. Love it
This needs to become a regular thing.
The amount of respect Tiger gets from the younger players is awe inspiring
now you know why tiger is the best. theres certain things that are taught, and theres those that you have to learn. the muscle memory, the shot shapes, and ability to work the ball to the same distance while altering all those factors is just mind boggling.
Nope Jack is the best..Tiger might be the most talented but Jack reigns supreme..18 > 15
The emphasis of only taking majors into consideration seems too simplistic. Tigers 82 wins all time vs Jacks 73 has to be a factor. No other golfer dominated the field like Tiger. US open by 15 shots? Masters by 12? Cmon. Tiger is the greatest.
@@DTB1995 Jack played in less tournaments overall, and Tiger has more wins. it's 15 majors, but with 9 more wins overall. Tiger also had the most dominant stretch of golf in PGA history.
@@DTB1995 Dog shit opinion. Stop trying to use “talented” as an insult. He’s not just talented. He also won 15 majors and 82 PGA tournaments lol. He’s the best.
I have learned a lot from this session ,thanks Talormade Golf Team!
It's amazing to see Tiger translate his knowledge onto Colin. Can tell Colin respects Tiger as a mentor. Great video 👍🏻
Is it just me, or does Tiger and Collin have the same demeanor, mannerisms, and speech pattern!
Makes sense -- they both grew up in SoCal suburbs, both went to college in NorCal. Regional vibes.
@@samuelhwang9452 yes but it is more about personality makeup and who they are and how they think...the "where they grew up" is def part of it though but really a small part
He sounds like him too
if you listen to a Collin interview he has that same kind of instinct Tiger does
heck, there was a couple dialogs there where I couldn't tell who was speaking.
"When your playing your best, your just missing better than everyone else that week." Colin. WOW!!!!!!!
Collin always bringing the conversation back to observing Tiger on course hahah
Love the grin on tigers face when Colin asks him if he's using the speed of his hands to shape his draw and then admit he doesn't have that shot
"I'm terrible at putting spin on the golf ball," says the guy who can spin chips back from 15 yards.
That's why he said he plays a ball with the most spin.
That Bridgestone he plays is something else.
@@John_Wood_ Yeah I tried that ball for 1 round and sliced my driver so much that it nearly came back and hit me in the face....think I'll stick with the pro v1 lol

17:10 what a swing and what a sound👏👏👏
Tiger.s amazing .. his ball shape, precision and ability to communicate thoughts is remarkable
this was literally a free golf lesson for Collin from Tiger. Buddy was listening intently from every single word Tiger said.
Tiger's secret to amazing iron play: he's Tiger Woods
these 2 are great at explaining things, especially colin. Very intelligent, coherent, speaks well
This video...i can watch it once a day and it will make me so happy. This is soooo good
Reading how I play golf by tiger now, probably the best thing I can do for my game. Also doing it how he did, the green to the tees. Once I get the putting down I'll move on. I think I'm done trying to learn from all these other guys on KZhead and only focus on tigers game, because let's be honest, he's the best there is. I just wish I would of stuck with it when I was young.
I bet its probably a little bit challenging to get these guys to open up about their own games, but less TM rep talking and more player to player chatter would make these great!
INdeed, that guy needs to shut tf up!
I agree, I like "Trottie" at times but he isn't what I like about these videos. Seeing these golf rock stars pick each other's brains, challenge each other, and. give each other crap is what I enjoy most about these videos
That’s an outstanding video. One of the best TM vids I’ve seen.
Great session. It’s such an insightful conversation. I hope Tiger can come back.
That was gold would love another one with wedge shots around 100 to 130 yards.
What a video. Loved every second of this. Morikawa shoul have an amazing career. Tiger well we all know he's the GOAT 🐐. But that 3 iron at the end was a joke to have that kind of feel is crazy
Feels vs real! Love the down to earth discussions!
Love this video, in that it really enforces the fact that people need to figure out their own swings...possibly based on what others do or say....but not based on what others tell them to do. That's where I so often see "coaching" as wasted money. I'd rather ask questions to the guy I"m hitting or playing with (who shows a nice level of skill)....and then go back and see what I can do to improve...for myself. My take...if you're not understanding and analyzing the dynamics of your own swing, then you're simply flailing with the opinions of others. Same is true about almost anything in life.. I cringe at so many people flailing and spending all kinds of money getting coaching at a driving range...lol.
This is why they call tiger the artist with shot adaption like that 💪
tq for this less awkward video TM
Awesome. Not one word about moving the ball around in the stance, changing the shot-line etc.
This will be in a playlist on loop, I love these three, but when tigers says, now this is fun. That’s class!
Tiger and Morikawa are skilled...What's interesting with Tiger is he is physically and mentally playing chess when most others are playing checkers on the course. Great golfers, great video.
Tiger to Colin: 'you'll get there son'-vibe when he hits the three iron
Best video yet,... just let them do their thing at let it roll, the end part was absolute gold, shame it finished!
Mad skills. Thank you for letting us get into your heads.
Tiger WOODS is still a machine 18:40 Collin asks Tiger about when you slow the swing down your body still moving right... Tiger: CORRECT... As he just looks like he's in the zone with the irons... Love this Taylormade family
18:34 the GOAT teaches Collin the 160 yard 3 iron draw
Collin is a true pro, really cool to see the two in a video together.
Tiger talking about Moe Norman, its uncanny how the legs and dropping the club were exactly what he would talk about and it looks really different in practice
That sound of Tigers strikes is just so pure
It's so good!
Yes Tiger Woods is good at golf
We need more in depth content like this.
Wow! Not only do you need to know your equipment but also understanding your competitors' ball, equipment, their tendency, maybe how they are feeling that day to understand how to approach your shot. I just ask or look what club my friends hit.
I wish they’d just let it be tiger and Colin talking with trottie just sparking a topic. Last years content where they were doing short game and it was just the pros talking was the peak of this
The one with Jason day, Rory and tiger? The guy from Taylor made try to insert himself in that one but got shut down and the pros talked. I agree it was way better.
yeah 'trottie' is a full on knob rot
@@QenaitheCustodianGuard Yep that was the one
@@xInVINCEable41x that Taylor made guy also did one with Dustin and someone else hitting drivers, he was so annoying in that one.
I'm phenomenal at putting spin on a golf ball. It's just complete accidentally and ends up in the next fairway.
The similarities between these two is remarkable!😎👍
The first part about real vs feel is so simple but so important
Iv grown up watching and admiring tiger. I would love a round and a meal with him as I feel he is a human I'd love to learn from. Golf and life! Make it happen #teamtaylormade
