He outdrove Tiger everytime they both hit comparable drives on a hole yesterday. How is he getting all that distance?

He still has a big reserve of testerone built up from not sleeping with so many women?

Just think if he was healthy. That back has plagued him his whole career.

He's still got a hell of a shoulder turn. Old man is still pretty flexible relatively.

Zwick, agreed, plus his wrist action seems to be more than most players.

One of the smoothest swings in golf. He is so very disciplined with his tempo.....he and The Big Easy.

Agreed. Freddie is the quintessential "feel" player which has allowed him to be competitive much longer than a Nick Faldo type player who is very mechanical.
