I hope the pics from Tigers book are posed pics. Otherwise they kind of contributes to varidate the Manzella guardmans drill.
Jeeez in pic #4 it looks as if he's being pulled right (left in pic) by someone outside the frame.
From start to finish he's not very centered, even the point between .....seems right of center.
Is it just the pics being posed, the angle they've been shot from, or is this really why Tiger bobs and at that point of his career was all over the golfcourse with his woods??

These photos were taken very early in Tiger's career and published in Golf Digest/ January 2001. He sure was "gettin' behind that ball", wasn't he? [He could have accomplished the same Impact Geometry by moving the ball more forward in his stance and leaving his head centered.] Fortunately, he long since has made dramatic (and well publicized) changes to 'center up' his head position and keep it more stationary.
I often use this sequence to show how a gifted player can make most anything 'work' (the "Compensated" Stroke), but can improve -- often dramatically -- when he understands the true geometric alignments involved and then brings his own Action into compliance. Golf is indeed a "game of inches", and sometimes, those "inches" are directly proportional to the "inches" of head movement.
Remember, Centered Arc is the principle. It is Law, and it is self-enforcing. Violators (however talented, famous and rich) will be punished, and that punishment is both immediate and obvious (erratic trajectories, distances and line).
