some call it bobbing but I think that is when it real excessive, and when it involve moving way up out of your spine anlge. Kostis was ripping Tiger apart about his squat move, but when you look at footage Paul Casey, his own student, he makes this move too. (albeit not to the same extent as Tiger)
Hogan really lowered himself on the DS....Arnie as well

A lowering of the head due to axis tilt is ok, IMO, provided you got some lag. Otherwise one might break a wrist plowing the club into the ground.
Somehow I don't think the game is riddled with 10 handicappers who have messed themselves up perfecting Tigers squat. Or Sneads.
Like I said I think Tigers squat maybe excessive, but there is no doubt that using the ground and "sitting" into your left side to some degree is A MOVE done by better golfers.
Day 2 of working on this move and Im still seeing better compression on the ball w/about a 2 yard fade. But this is golf , so talk to me in a month
The non TGM golfers set up a little different to the ball, not having the right forearm on plane. That means that they have to get into a different alignment at impact. Maybe this gives a squat - which is not needed especially by a TGM hitter who addresses the ball at impact fix?
good point, although I do see Stricker (based on Wayne DeFransesco's analysis) sit down and he does set up w/ his rt forearm on plane. Unsure about Brian G. He does make a move where he springs up with his legs through impact though. Ive heard this is a power creating move.

Interesting observation. If you look at a lot of these pro swings, they squat and their head drops on the downswing, but then they don't change their level through impact.
To me, the squat look of the legs feels more like a rotary torquing against the ground than an actual vertical squat.
