In regard to Tigers slightly less centered motion remember that they are hitting different shots. Tiger hitting driver, can be said to employing a special procedure. Allowing his center to hang back a touch for launch angle or angle of attack purposes. Great comparison though.
oh ya,, hitting up with the driver is the new thing.
If your clubhead travel from higher on the ball at impact to lower on the ball at separation, did hanging back with your head help you to hit up?
I heard that he switched to a 10 degree driver on Sunday. Hmm? I haven't seen video nor checked for head location.

10 degrees. Really?
Hello world er fairway or whatever!
Homer did say "to hit down and out except for special procedures". Hanging back with a driver is nothing new as you say. There is footage of a young Hogan doing it in a very pronounced manner. Dare I say at the expense of balance? In my opinion though he was mugging for the camera and displaying his long drive, high launch swing. Not his everyday tournament swing here.

Hitting UP is to reduce spin. But Clubs are designed to hit the ball while going down, out and forward.
I swear, if the pro's didn't make so much money on tour, they'd be selling shoes in the woman's department.
I dont know if that is still true for some of todays drivers. Take a look at the built in reverse shaft lean on a D3 for instance. You have to take it later to square the face unless you hood it.
I agree though that we golfers should direct the thrust down and out to both arms straight (well after impact) but the arc of the clubhead is coming up and in post low point and that, it would seem, is where they want us to make contact with the ball.
I was recently fit at Titleist and they were all over me to increase my angle of attack to a positive (rising) number. I did it with ball position and tee height, the spin numbers came way down as you say.

Well, it's a lot easier to get you to swing differently with the Big Dog than it is for them to design an even Longer Club. And it's much easier for everyone to understand "Hit Up" than understand "Swing from the Feet"
Ok, so it's the Brilliant Engineers at Titleist.
Conversation between Titleist Salesman and Engineer:
Salesman (Worried): Look buddy, you have the Engineering degree, so either give me a driver that makes the Ball go farther or this Pro will find another Club Maker to use.
Engineer (Worried): It's not the Club, tell him that he's not using it right. Tell him to hit up.
Salesman (puzzled): Do you think he'll buy that answer?
