When that picture was taken a few people were watching it "at the tournament." Those people are part of bombsquadgolf and said it was a pull cut shot.
Also a pretty decent nike rep/exec (point is someone in the know @ nike) posts occasionally there and said the same thing. When tiger wants to hit the cut he says he "holds on" and tries not to roll it over.
So thats "his version" of the angled hinge. IMO that is what made Duval so consistent when he became #1 in the world...strong grip, good plane, angle hinge and nothing but a nice fade.

Thanks Jim, I was just wondering how you came to your conclusion looking at one frame (a frame that may be or not be at the top).
The strong grip coupled with a arched wrist with angled hinging sounds that it would be a pull cut. Use Horz hinging and it should be straight since with long clubs a closed face is suggested.
Of course he could just be off plane or already in the downstroke and the arched wrist and strong grip is giving the wrong picture for those who subscribe that the clubface location at the top must be in a certain position.
Exactly....it wasn't like i was ASSUMING from those pictures. I was going off first hand info from people who actually saw that swing live and the ball flight that occured.
