Boom Boom is the man...
Very cool
Looking forward to the audio.
Fred's swing was the swing I tried to mimic when I first started playing. It just looks so easy and effortless and graceful.
Pretty tough to get his results though!

Freddie....
Might be the most non-chalante guy ever...
That bunker shot he holed....(2nd highlight)....he wasn't even looking at it when it went in.....
Dude even looks non-chalante when he's pissed off...

First Prize!
For the first person to correctly identify the plane he is using.
(The hint is in the question)

I tried that when I was in my supple early 20s, and I didn't try it for too long before I figured out Fred's towel had more talent than me.

For sure, relaxed and cool but never robotic.
Is there anyone that's played better golf in the off season or funny-money events like skins and invitationals?

4 Barrels and 2 Flails
Notes:
Freddy uses a TURNING SHOULDER backswing then overloads accumulator #1, bending his right elbow more than 90 degrees at the end of his backstroke. He then float loads into accumulator #1 to hyper-load it even more in the down-stroke. Observe his below plane right elbow in photo #9 above—this is caused by his hyper-loaded accumulator #1 and his refusal to allow the resultant excessive forces to leak into or dissipate into too much secondary axis tilt—which would cause a push or flare to the right. Instead his athleticism enables him to conserve the tremendous energy created by diverting his energy into accumulator #1 pushing the elbow below plane. Freddy then explodes into 4 barrel free-wheeling delivery via 10-20-D then 10-20-B—the elusive 4 barrel swing. His magic RIGHT ARM THROWs immediately after the DELIVERY PATH THROW initiates his release. His right elbow then pops up from below plane to on plane as the second flail seeks it’s inline condition. This is the two flail swing. Flail one is the left arm flying wedge, flail two is the right arm flying wedge.

Not uncommon: greg norman's similar drag was very noticeable. As though all his thrust was leftward and the subsequent turn incidental by comparison to the left thrust of his hips. Not a 'twisting torque' like Woods.
