So why does a practice swing...

[Beezerk]

...look like Tiger but a swing at the ball looks like tosh?
For me anyway
Must be a reasonable answer to this.

Because there is no need to square the face you dont make some contorted effort to acheive it.

Because your practice swing doesn't actually look like Tiger

Personally I rarely take a practice swing, I don't see the point.

generally becasue you aren't trying to propel a ball a distance, or at a particular trajectory; you are just swinging the club.

then, when the ball's there, you 'try'....

This, if you could just disengage the old grey matter for those seconds while you swing................

Something to do with muscles tensing/tightening under load - most people practice swings are a relaxed affair but then, even the most relaxed amongst us, just think that little bit more about it when the ball appears!

I don't take a practice swing in winter because every time I do I have to wipe all the crap off the face of the club and lose the feel for the shot.

I've seen your practice swing. More like a tiger chasing a water buffalo

The practice swing is a full backswing and follow through. A lot of golfers hit AT the ball, instead of through the ball...

I can hear "Mud's" "Tiger feet" in my head now.

I don't take a practice swing at the moment. Don't want to have to wipe the moisture off and I'm not getting anything from it
