Do steroids and HGH wear off if you have not jacked up on them in a while?
*****************
Do they help you hit the ball straight? I can understand additional length or power, etc but Tiger’s problem today isn’t length but rather it’s accuracy as I see it. I’ve not looked at his putting stats but I don’t think he’s even the putter he was a few years back. How would roids and HGH help that if in fact his putting is somewhat below his previous standard?
I used to read a lot of stuff over at GolfWrx which has some very good golfers but too many Tiger fan boys though the herd is thinning.
One of the first things that can gowith a professional golfer is the hands in the mid to late thirties. It really screws the putting. One reason for belly putters.
The thing I noticed the most from possible steroids and or HGH is the forearms were massive. He did not have those as a kid. Compare this to diminutive and younger Camillo Villegas who was a gym rat at U of Florida. He is very fit and wiry.
A few other more knowledgeable freepers; one guy a good golfer who was trying to go pro and spendt a LOT of time in the gym and another fellow who posts here had good observations about Tiger.
The one gent today said the arms and stregnth helped him in the rough and the PGA created this android. Hitting out of the rough can be very hard.
The fellow who is a very good golfer (FR) said his size was too bigh for spending endless size in the gym. See the red shirt and fist photo. Someone here posted an example with him having pancake on his head. The arms, shoulders etc are just too big.
The term ‘roid rage’ comes to mind. Some steroids can be very powerful and can influence the mind and personality. Talk to some ladies whose husbands or suitors have been on them. Nothing we take into our bodies is absolutely benign is it?
