This pattern (toe line trace) being the most verticle 'hand plane' (not in the TGM definition). A very accurate way to play. In my view, tracing 'the plane' - of the hands - is always inside the ball to target line, unless you have zero #3 accumulator. Only then would the ball be on 'the line'. The amount of #3 accumulator alters how verticle the plane is from this perspective - 'low hands', lots of #3, trace line more towards toes, very steep plane. 'high hands', no/little #3, trace line more towards/on ball to target line. Part of the reason that zero #3 accumulator can be a very accurate pattern, with the trade off being power (Moe Norman). You are more truly 'on plane'. Trace the line your hands point to on the ground at address. __________________ "Support the On Plane Swinging Force in Balance" "we have no friends, we have no enemies, we have only teachers" Simplicity buffs, see 5-0, 1-L, 2-0 A and B 10-2-B, 4-D, 6B-1D, 6-B-3-0-1, 6-C-1, 6-E-2 EdZ View Public Profile Send a private message to EdZ Find all posts by EdZ
