Flexibility/Mobility experts - is this better than average?

[nevets88]

Not rhetorical. Serious question. To my untrained eye, that's pretty damn limber, that bottom right one.

It's better than average, but the average person isn't a professional athlete.

Is it superhuman or freakish? No.

Yep. 

Athletes can get away with these positions as they have the strength to support the joints in the more "extreme" positions.

Range of motion like that is not imperative in golf.  Good pros can teach anyone to do well.

Bottom right is easier than the others but none matter much in terms of swing imo.

A teacher can help you learn to practice things of relevance not contortion.

Big misconception on flexibility : that there is a certain point everyone can get to. Every body is different and it responds differently to different methods of creating mobility. What is important is to start where you are and see if you can improve your mobility. It is a good idea for everyone to be working on this, not just for golf, but for overall health. Tight muscles are an injury waiting to happen. Take the movements above and do them every day and over time you will see improvement just like in your golf game.

yes, better then average.

his flexibility and height = super distance.

his height alone gives him extra yards, just like the big easy ernie els. ernie is tall and has a smooth swing and it goes far pretty effortlessly. Let that be a short person, it would be 50 yards less with the same swing.
