The stronger the grip, the more open your shoulders are at impact?

Not sure if this question has any significance. I can think of players who fall into all four categories (strong/weak grip vs open/less open shoulders).

Just look at zach johnson. Strong grip and pretty square shoulders at impact.
Could this be reason why Zack is so short?

I don't know!
I have a friend who works with MAT system all the time and he swears that tour players have square shoulders at impact and poor players have closed (pointed to the right) shoulders at impact.
Although my grip is a titch stronger than neutral, I sure feel like my shoulders are open at impact.

I think he might be confusing the data or something, i remember specifically when the MATT system was new and groundbreaking and they had articles on it and were spewing out the average numbers of pro's and they are most "square" with short irons and progressively get more open as the club gets longer.
