Vijay Singh: Deft Fader
How to fly it left to right like the hardest-working man on Tour.
Vijay Singh once said he didn't like looking at his swing on video because he wasn't concerned about it being pretty. He wanted it to be effective. Mission accomplished. Two elements separate Vijay's swing from the pack: First is his obsessive practice. The fact is that Vijay needs to practice all day. His golf swing has several compensating moves that require constant maintenance to repeat consistently.
The second interesting point about Vijay's swing is that it is designed to avoid a specific miss a hook. While this isn't unique among great players (see Hogan and Trevino), his determination is unprecedented.
