looks sweet. no? But what is it that looks so coordinated? His hands seem to
be rising after he makes contact, ie not driving past the ball and he seems
to be adding speed to the natural path and not hitting against it. That's
the best description I can come up with...

His right wrist in one of these is confusing. It doesn't seem to fit in with
my idea of what a swing should be ... interesting

Seems to be Vijay's bugaboo. I've seen it inthat position in pictures
before. However, that particular picture is an anomaly - he fanned it
_way_ right. IIRC, that series is a conglomoration of a couple of
swings. 'Cause in practice rounds he only takes fucking four tee
shots, picks one of them and plays four approaches, drops from about
100 and plays four more, chips around the green if he misses, plays all
putts. The guy is ridicuous - takes seven to eight hours for him to
play a practice round.
