[O.B.Left]

How much movement of the ball back of low point can there be before these "problems" occur? Too much, and the player will mentally move the low point back and wreck their Impact Alignments.

There's a reason why some the best players in history played the ball in one location.

K I got to back .... dont want to leave anything behind when possible.

MJ I know you know this stuff but for the benefit of others, the "problem" as Lynn refers to it in his power point presentation to his certified instructors (i believe) is Steering the attempt to steer the clubhead straght line away or towards the ball with the face square to the ball. Add an attempt to keep the clubhead "low to the ground" and you have all three forms of Steering.

The "problem" is perceptual , in our dismay we start to think about solutions to this crazy arse game and we land on a the more familiar to us linear approach . Like pool or whatever. We try to achieve , to the extent we actually can, a linear Delivery Path of the Clubhead with a square face (Vertical Hinging) Ill try and draw all this.

........... Major aside here... this geometry to the extent it can actually be manipulated has an effect of the ball response. The physics of it can not be denied. Usually its a terrible set of impact dynamics for a tee shot (watch any hackers lame duck tee ball, leaving cross line slice aside for now). But useful for certain shots perhaps (the same hacker might have a decent high soft wedge shot if he grooves it). His straight back , straight through putting may be quite good actually.


Daryl do you have drawing number 2-C-3 #3 Linear Force -The Lob Shot on hand?

if so can you post it upside down from the player perspective.
