Hit From The Top

Should you do the same thing as Tiger, Freddy, and Xander?

Recently I heard two other golfers who claimed to do a lot of the hit from the top drill (aka the pause drill). To do the drill, swing to the top of your swing, stop for at least 2 seconds to avoid momentum, and then start down from the ground up. This drill is really useful for working on new top-of-backswing positions as well as working on eliminating a strong arm pull in transition.
