That position is perfect.
Far better than what he has been in over a decade.
He no longer needs to 'time' squaring of the face, which has been the core issue since he moved from Butch.
All the result of a poor grip (under Haney), that was way, way too weak.
He is getting back to what John Anselmo taught him.
The 'pitching sense'.
I didn't see his latest play (can't see much from China), but I can tell that this next season will be a huge one for him again.
Just from that picture. 4-6 wins in the next year is my guess (globally)

tiger woods is and forever will be a legend of the game of golf. It kills me to see him paying this guy good money to ruin his golf swing. TIGER IS TRAPPED IN THE WRONG APPROACH

Do you have the next frame in the sequence?
Notice the clubface position.
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.

Thanks for your post, Brian. No apology required. We're all in this together, and we're all learning.
