Wow, that's interesting. Nevertheless, I'm 6'1" and if I made the backswing I'm positive I would back it up to the inside. My bad on the height.
Went to visit a friend in Arizona. What a great swing he has!

I agree Kevin - it's pretty obvious this guy knows what he's doing, but that hyper-extension wreaks of forcing it. I can't believe he hasn't had a single instructor tell him that it's ok to let the left arm fold on the follow thru. Makes me wonder what the Ping guys he works with are looking at. You can't tell me that anyone would say a hyper-extended left arm that late into the finish is a good thing. At some point "orthodox" makes some sense doesn't it?
That is simply a painful look and position. Who would ever teach a straight left arm virtually all the way to the finish? I don't care how tall he is.
Ugh,

if he lost the hold off look he wouldn't hit it anywhere but left. he HAS to hold it straight and have that shaft point straight up on the other side because of things he did long before. nobody wants to fight the club or look like that on purpose unless their ball striking makes them do otherwise. he is a good enough player to have figured that out for himself.

Any early extension type problem can cause a toe hit but often actually moves the swing inside out and causes heel hits just as much
