The only thing that needs to happen to have a good impact from there is the right arm straightening.
No need to try to time #3 (roll), or to hold off/arch the left wrist to save it as before, when in the same position, he would have the face much, much more open (toe up)
Now the face is at 45 degrees there.
Active (as in a hitter's thrust), or passive (shoulder turn throw) - that face is going to be square. The only way to screw up that position is to have 'center' move forward, and from the looks of it, he is well centered.

This is essentially what tiger is doing the whole machine drops down then he tries to move #4 laterally, #1 is trying to straighten down hard while Trying to hold #2, and then jump twisting to avoid colliding into the ground during release..... Yikes!

Bucket, doesn't that position means Tiger's gonna be able to maximize or use the full potential of his strength? Very few can live with that position because that position means the release that you chose, and plane angle that you selected for that release are so darn difficult to make the clubhead close by impact.
So, I'd say that picture, Tiger being the most or one of the most powerful golfer ever, will be able to make use of that advantage of his that others don't have or lack.
That position tells me he's into a pattern that requires sweep release because releasing it as early as possible will make up for one's lack of strength. But for Tiger, he can afford to delay a bit the release in order to get on that plane angle he selected, and still have enough strength to release the darn club because his strength can handle it.
Pardon the post, especially from someone who's not an expert like all of you here.

I think it is possible to be in that release position of Tiger in the picture without having to intentionally avoid the club head from digging into the ground. Tiger just have to keep the left wrist flat and level. He's got enough PA#3 angle built-in at impact fix. His left wrist at level state is exactly on the ball. So he's not worrying about that. And because of that, he ensured accuracy. His clubface closure is the slowest ever. What he's worried, IMO, is how to close that face. He's not worried about getting it closed at impact either because it's closure rate is slowest possible already. He's worried about leaving it open. But his extraordinary strength can do it. Others can't. Advantage Tiger. Accuracy + strength. That only he can maximize the potential of. Wow. Watch out. I'm having goose bumps. Remember this: my prediction--25 majors.
Brianid it ain't about strength! The reason why he would dig intothe ground is because at address his shoulder to ball radius is x amount and then he drops down which would make him dig under ground the exact amount he dropped unless he makes a series of compensating moves.

By strength I mean the need for it to be able to close the face via PA3. The more PA3 angle you have, it's more difficult to close the face, hence more strength you need.
I think the shortening of the shoulder to ball radius is not a fault, but a compensation for having a left wrist that is uncoocked more than level at setup (sorry, his left wrist is not level at setup/impact fix), and then having a level and flat left wrist at impact. If he doesn't "dip", he will whiff the ball, not hit the ground.
