I'd say you can't get too caught up in the "looks" of things. The FIRST and FOREMOST to consider in Swinging or Hitting is simply this . . .

Hitting is PUSHING.

Swinging is PULLING.

The components may or may not "look" Swingie or Hittie . . . sometimes only the player may know. I would be willing to bet everything in Mike O's fridge that Nicklaus is Swinging despite the "looks."

Absolutely agree with you - especially with a single frame of a highly dynalmic motion!! But his elbow position must change on the downswing to stress the shaft in a swingers style surely?? ie a player that goes to flying elbow at end can only stress the shaft appropriately if they float load and get the right forearm into good position on the downswing???

MAybe...
