Interesting. You got your "plugged in" types. You got your "blast off " guys ... and I guess you got your 'NEVER touches " . Different strokes for different folks... OK by me.

Other explanations for the "smooth" curves?
What are "plugged in" types?

Sorry- did some research and I don't think I should continue this discussion here. Not that interesting anyway.

AT LOW POINT AM I -- FLV or FUV???

I thought this would be as good a spot as any to ask some questions concerning maximum lever length. The photo showing Jack with left arm clubshaft and clubhead all under his left shoulder at impact is where my uncertainty begins. At low point what condition is the left wrist in? Is low point always going to have the left wrist in FUV condition or can it be FLV? Secondly if low point is always opposite the left shoulder and I positioned my ball opposite this point, does my impact fix position have my left wrist FLV or FUV? If the former wouldn't I still be able to take turf because my primary lever hasn't reached full extension?

2-P The Wristcock The uncocking of the Flat Left Wrist is a Perpendicular Motion--not a Horizontal Motion (as defined in 4-0). The Left Wrist (6-B-2) is Cocked and Uncocked per Stroke Pattern (Chapter 12),per 4-B and per 4-D. It normally moves from "Cocked" to "Level" between Release and Impact and "Level" to "Uncocked" during the follow-through.

I guess the word "NORMALLY" makes room for exceptions to the quote above. Would be very interested in yours and others thoughts.

Vs for a hitter this would be less important, more dependent on the thrust against the shaft and the left arm and club shaft being directly in line would be less important. so say at impact one swinger has the left arm and clubshaft in-line exactly vs a player who has the shaft leaning forward outside the left shoulder, who is utilizing the primary lever better? I would think that if it were inline the lever would be longest, but really the length of the left arm and clubshaft are maintained. any thoughts on this? of course this is more tour players concern as most golfers have trouble getting the flat left wrist at all

I think cocked to level goes with the territory. But I think there are ways to hit the ball where it doesn't go completely to uncocked, ways where the shaft never runs straight up the Left Arm, but runs towards a "virtual" hinge that sits somewhere below the left arm, closer to the elbow plane.

Taking turf from Impact fix at low Point

Thanks for your thoughts Bernt, what about my last questions taking turf from low point?

Good question, Slazman,

I think FUV at impact is gonna be a problem. It will mean that the right foream is (probably) under plane, or that you have a chicken wing like forearm through the ball to keep it on plane. I think when it happens more towards the target and not towards the target line. I'm must thinking out loud here. I've never given this much thought, though. I mainly look for enough lag to produce good speed before impact and sustained lag pressure through the ball and I don't think the second part is possible if the hands fly up high before impact. Which they have to do to reach impact with a FUV left hand.
