I am a complete amateur at looking at swings so I wonder if anyone has any thoughts.
(Nice story---when Jason first won some big cash a few years ago he bought his caddy a Corvette and himself an Escalade. A guy at the Auburn University Club told me you can hear him coming from a mile away as he likes to play Rap muscic very loud.)
Sometimes a waggle needs to exaggerate a feel to make a change in the actual swing. It appeared to me the waggle was under-plane, yet the backswing was dead on plane. Perhaps without the waggle he was cocking his hands up too much above the plane?

Great question, not sure if my answer is correct, but it is what I was thinking about his waggle this weekend.
