This is a clip of Stephen at the Homebush driving range last year, soon after he came back from US.

Love his swing. Goes past parallel but there's no feeling of overswinging. He is perfectly balanced and in control. Great tempo and rhythm. Maintains his posture well.
If I had to make a criticism, he is a bit shut at the top (club face pointing too much up at the sky at the top instead of being more parallel to the left arm). Lot of long hitters do this, but I saw Stephen hit a few hooks that day.
Anyway, all in all, a great swing which I've learned a lot from.
