First thing you’ll see from long hitters like Jake is a stronger grip second is incredible width at the takeaway this allows for longer levers and also a more efficient transition at the top speaking of transition at the top look at how early he is into his front side this
Allows for maximum energy transfer throughout the down swing and look at impact position with the shaft flexing right here that shows that Jake uses the shaft efficiently to produce effortless speed which equates to incredible distance off the te

The shaft is looking like that is because the camera has too low fps.
The shaft position is a result of rolling shutter effect which happens when a camera records video pixel line by pixel line from the top down at a slower speed. The split second it takes for the camera to record the lines is enough time for the clubhead and end of the shaft to progress forward before being captured.
Left elbow bent,a lot , at impact is definitely loosing yards
Strong grip yes , width yes. Early to his left side No . Shaft No flexing like that is a camera thing.
The real lesson, ala Hogan, is the how the shaft clings to the top of his back as long as possible. The shaft and his body become one . This is incredibly difficult.
Shaft is not flexing like that…its a camera illusion. Debunked 20 years ago.
Chicken wing impact, absolutely amazing.
