Here is a response to a Private Message that I thought could serve in this thread.



The geometrically-carved Divot is taken because the Club is descending correctly Down Plane to Low Point, not because there is a new Low Point. With the non-teed Ball (and with many teed Balls) positioned back in the Stance (Up Plane), Low Point is always in the ground.

If the Club does not descend all the way to Low Point, it is usually because the Left Wrist has Bent. When this happens, the Club immediately ascends, and the player has thus established a new Low Point (opposite the Bending Left Wrist, not the Left Shoulder). This mechanical disruption destroys the Clubhead's true Three Dimensional Orbit (Down, Out and Forward) and, unless intentional, will result in less than optimal results.

First off, thank you much for addressing my PM Lynn. Appreciate it.

....

I must be missing something though. If this is a mechanical disruption.....then why would anyone ever want to use anything but a "constant, single ball position" (off the left heel)?

Know what I'm getting at? Everytime someone hits a shot with the ball posistioned behind the Left Shoulder it can't be a mechanical disruption, can it?

I know there must be a reason...
