In post #1 S&T mentions that he hit the ball solidly. I just cannot imagine that that would be the case if the shaft is bent the way it appears to be in picture #3 (impact)!

And I am not sure that other websites aren't making the same mistake!

Also note that Tiger does not only have better golf-equipment, he had better camera equipment also (but it may still not have been fast enough!).

I wonder if S&T is up for taking another video with the camera upside down: That might prove or disprove the various theories!
