Am I being dim, or is it not really that short, the only reason he doesn't get to the top is because his swing tries to limit wrist cock - or did I dream that?
"The key to Stricker's swing is, it has fewer moving parts: It's a stiff-wristed action controlled by a big body turn. Most better players maximize wrist hinge on the backswing to gain leverage at impact -- like cracking a whip -- but Stricker's wrists are fairly quiet. That's why his swing is shorter, and why he's among the top 30 on tour in hitting fairways." apparently..?!
