Had I known this rough drawing would be broadcast to the world, I would have been a little neater! And, I would have arranged a more forward Ball Location (the Head, shoulders and right arm are added after the Radius and Plane Lines).
Alas, it was sketched hastily over breakfast at the local Cracker Barrel restaurant, and 'it is what it is'. The good news is that it helped communicate to my new student the essential Geometry of a Golf Stroke and so set the stage for a lifetime of better golf.

Hastily sketched or not, I think its a treasure!

Thanks, BerntR. The drawing definitely has merits. Again, the goal was 'instant communication' in an informal setting.
It is, however, somewhat of a simplification. As illustrated, it depicts a Turned Shoulder Plane with Zero Shift. In practice, the Right Forearm is normally set on the Elbow Plane (really what I've depicted here) and there is a Single Shift (in the Backstroke) to the somewhat steeper Plane of the Turned Right Shoulder. I do think the illustration of the On Plane Impact and Low Points is helpful to those beginning the journey that is Alignment Golf.
From the Top, the player can then remain on the TSP through Impact (the Stroke is then deemed Single Shift) or he can return to the Elbow Plane (Double Shift) on which the Right Forearm was positioned at Address.
Lynnard can't draw no goats? Or is this some sort of modern art type deal where you are to use your imagination . . . . THIS PICTURE SUX!!!!
I studied this picture all night last night . . . ate all the cheetoz in Davidson County . . . I can't figure this out . . . heading to urgent care now . . . strange orange ring has appeared . . . worried that I may have contracted something from looking at this freakin' picture . . . sheeps and lammas are chasing me . . . . HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
