With the lack of accumalator lag how does he get 290 out of his driver? Drive load? hitter or swinger? Angle hinging?

Looks like a swinger to me - goes past top and looks to be a horizontal hinge.

I saw that part of the telecast, also, and I think he was hitting a very controlled iron shot into the green on that one. If I had to guess, I think he purposely used less #2 there. Looking at the above video, he's got close to a 90 degree bend between his left arm and the club shaft, and his right elbow is definitely bent, further indicating he's established an out-of-line condition. Looks to me like he sustains that angle deep enough into his swing that it would be power generator. Personally, I think #2 is a little overrated for distance; not saying you won't hit if further with more #2, just that you can hit it plenty far without a lot of #2.
