I mean, we have added "Hook-face" to divert the ball from its true tangential path. Besides, anytime the primary lever is Turned, the shaft would not be at right angles ........

Help me out here. The bottom drawing shows that the clubshaft is not at right angles until Low Point because the Left Wrist is uncocking and the Primary Lever has not become Vertical.

The Top drawing represents a shaft-only orbiting around a circle and because its center of rotation is the center of the circle, the tangent will always be at right angles to it.

Man you can draw dude and fast.


Lets consider the Arc of Attack (Homer style) , from the sixth.

GLOSSARY

PAGE 233

ARC OF ATTACK Example – Kingfisher’s attack.
Mechanical – The circumferences of a circle passing through any two points as viewed from an angle to the plane surface.
Golf – The curved visual path of the orbiting Clubhead visible on the face of the Inclined Plane, passing through Impact Point.

Would not the Angle of Attack be a straight line drawn between two points. Impact and separation Im thinking. Thats all the balls knows right. So ya tangential to the orbit but pointing down more for balls played back.

See drawing 2-C-1 #2B and note the perspective from which the Angle of Attack is drawn , is visible , measurable say from caddy view , "LOOKING TOWARDS THE PLAYER". Like looking at an airplanes angle of attack ... you dont see it from above the airplane, you see it from the side. Like measuring the pitch on a roof or the rise and run on a set of stairs. Looking from the side or in golf terms caddy view. Homer didnt talk in number of degrees or anything but angles do have degrees. Angle of Attack is measurable.


The Arc of Attack is a view of the clubhead (sweet pot) path from a certain perspective. The Angle of Attack is a measurement of the clubheads rate of decent. The club does not actually travel the straight line Angle of Attack. It stays on the circular orbit.

Angle of Attack , Arc of Attack y'all . D, you do you have that 2-C drawing?


OK now drawings will help us see this but jumping ahead for moment.....for those who might be getting bored. Other perspectives , the players own for instance , of the same clubhead / sweetpot path are labelled with different names. See drawing 2-C-1 #3 FROM THE PLAYERS PERSPECTIVE. Note how the Sweetspot Path is now called the Arc of Approach. Different labels for different perspectives of the very same sweetspot path through 3 dimensional space.

Arc of Approach y'all.

But i digress. Getting back to what the heck this might mean to the guy on the tee, did Homer say anything about Angle of Attack and backspin?
