I watch Jack Nicklaus play golf but always use to talk about how he flew the right arm and nobody always ever, everybody always looks like that as an anomaly, it's something you wouldn't wanna do and there's so much teaching and you guys trying to keep their right arm in and I always say no, I mean my argument is, is look Jack had the club up like this, like he was throwing a football. - Yeah. - And so when you… When you transition, you shallow out the arm, you know obviously and the same thing was true in golf or I think it should be taught as that, you know guys who get their right arm a little higher up like they're throwing a football when they transition; it shallows out versus the guys who have their arm here. It's stuck here, now when they shallow out, it's got nowhere to go and they got too far inside. So when I watched, I watched Tiger Woods in 2000 have his arm up here. - Yeah. - After all of the sudden, he's got his arm in here and I think well now they're in transition, he's got nowhere to go, so I don't know why people don't teach the same things that quarterbacks used to you know to get all that leverage, because the emotion is the same. - Yeah I would say for me, I would have no basis to say anything about Tiger's swing, because anytime he wants to call and let me know, I would say a free advice, yeah. - But 2000 was fun to watch, the 2000 was good… - And I've always loved to watch him, you know Tiger, he is you know just, when you like you said earlier, watch him on a range… - Oh. - He just loves his tempo and his ability to hit a golf ball and Watching him at the 2000 US Open on the range, turn around, I know I was witnessing something that was, if not perfect damn close to it. - Yeah.
