Oh, but you're quick to believe the illusion in the first capture. And just as confident pointing out potential flaws in the second.

What makes you say that? I think I was pretty clear that neither image should be trusted. See my posts #100 and 149.

This is a point and shoot digital camera thing, not talking about Hogan or proper high speed digital images. The sensor scans top down or bottom up.....it doenst scan quick enough and the curve in the shaft is not an accurate representation of whats actually happening. In bottom up mode with the camera turned upside down it scans the head of the club but then as it moves up it scans the shaft at a slightly later point in time , thereby showing forward bend. Vice versa for top down.....they're both highly suspect. If you see blur in the shaft dont try to read it, it could be an illusion.

Im not a camera nut or anything just stuff Ive read. And for those who have a Casio, ever seen the shaft bend when in burst mode? Its a different animal than in high speed video, crazy clear and really weird. Not sure which is more accurate but the general rule about trusting things that are sharper would mean that the shaft does all sorts of crazy things.

Somebody once said the shaft was like a snake. Not sure who...oh ya Homer Kelley.

Im thinking this photo is accurate and its interesting given that he's not making contact with terra firma. Just the collision with the ball bending the shaft back a tad......giving it a slight two way bend.
