Boy Howdy.... That's some massive toe down deflection.. was he playing hickory?

NM - you agree with Jorgensen re. shaft flex behaviour in downswing?

He concludes (from examining the shaft behaviour of one golfer) that the "flexing of the shaft forward as the clubhead comes in to hit the ball is a general characteristic of the golf swing. Photographs made with the use of a focal plane shutter must be ignored in this context. There are few photgraphs in the golf literature made with stroboscopic light sources, but of those I have examined, all of them show clubs flexed in this manner"

So exclude focal plane shutters and some video cameras ...before theorising too much about shaft flex photos .
