Hastily sketched or not, I think its a treasure!

Drawing Conclusions

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.

For what it's worth, I really like how these drawings explain things.

Please put me down for a preorder of your Alignment Golf Cartoon Edition. Just in case you'll ever write one.


This banana seems to have a dual horizontal hinge action btw:



And this "golf head" seems to be leaning more towards angled hinging:
