Shape shots by changing face angle at address

The instructor contrasts two ways to shape shots. Tiger keeps his setup and feels the shot in his hands throughout the swing, whether drawing or fading. The instructor prefers the Jack Nicklaus way: keep setup and grip the same and only change where the clubface points at address - to draw, slightly close the face, re-grip, and make a normal swing.

Framed as the instructor's preferred method vs Tiger's, attributed to how Nicklaus describes it.
