Tiger's swing with an impact closeup
Mathew, I was puzzled by the VJ's picture you posted as to why he was hitting the ball so high on the clubface. Here's Tiger's swing in slow motion which includes a closeup of impact and where the speaker says that he hits the ball high on the clubface for a high launch angle and low spin.

You'll notice (in the clip that follows the swing) that although the clubhead is moving approximately horizontal to the ground prior to impact, the loft of clubface, with the ball high on the clubface, is actually hitting the ball up!
