The pic of Greg is for stretching, the pics of Woods, Sneed and Hogan are actual impact pics of some of the greatest ball strikers of all time.

Re: Do you agree with these teachings?

I have a magazine article from I think 2002 where it has pictures of Tiger's swing from 3 era's (like when he was a young teen, a few years later and his present swing) and in the pictures of his present swing his shoulders were perfectly square at impact, just like at address, and his hips were fully cleared and pointing at the target. But in the photo from that link his shoulders are open to the target but the ball has been hit and he's thru a good foot or more with the clubhead. So he probably clears his shoulders so quickly after impact that if you take a photo after he's hit the ball it seems they are open at impact.

Good point. Looking again and a multitude of still photos, just before I make contact my shoulders are square, but by the time the ball has left the clubface, I am 45* towards the target. Both positions my hips have fully cleared.
