2-J-1 Impact Alignments: Soled the Ball towards the Toe
 

Ok. Per 2-J-1 "Clubface alignment also includes the requirement that the center of the Clubhead arc be so located that the Clubface strikes the ball before it strikes the ground. If the Clubface is centered on the ball while soled behinded at any distance whatsoever, the radius fo the Clubhead arc must be shortened or the Club will meet the groupnd precisely where it had been soled." Makes sense. No long right arm per Tommy T instead Tommy T-Rex Arms through the ball.

I employed the soling procedure prescribed in 2-J-1 with the driver. It worked great. But I was too chicken to use it with the irons.

Do you Yellow Bookworms address the irons on the toe too? If so, how much towards the toe?

Many thanks.

Sole Train
 

When the Clubhead is soled -- from Driver to Putter -- the Ball is always positioned towards its Toe. That is because, at Impact Fix (where the Grip is properly taken), the Hands and Clubhead are always held at Impact Height.

Should the player desire to Sole the Club, then from this Fix position, the Clubhead -- but not the Hands! -- is allowed to fall vertically (from its in-the-air Impact Height) to its on-the-ground Soled Height. [Note that the Clubhead will refuse to fall in an Inclined Plane to a position directly behind the Ball.]

The degree to which the Ball is located off the toe of the Soled ClubHead is determined mechanically by the distance the Impact ClubFace must fall in relation to the Ball, whether Teed or on the Ground.

From 2-J-1, this "clubhead fall" results from the club swinging down from the wrists. Is this not uncocking of both wrists and why is some compensation not then required to satisfy 10-9?
