Geometry of the circle and how it applies to shot shaping .

[Daryl]

So with a normal width stance, and the ball played at my belt buckle, I decide to hit a 9 iron and aim 2 inches in front of the ball with Aim Point Technique to hit a shot straight to the pin. Normally, that's what will happen. I did it yesterday with all sorts of clubs. LOL! But let's say it's windy so I want to slide the ball back in my stance. Does the ball move closer to me? Do I hood or close the club face? Am I possibly the slowest golfer on the planet and in need of a new hobby?

Well, think of your knowledge as being ahead of 7,026,144,822 people as of this moment.

If you move the ball back, then you must include a corresponding Plane Angle Increase and grip adjustment. Grip Adjustment is for Face and target line, and Plane Angle increase is so that Hinge Action can produce a straight Shot but also that Low Point isn't moved from below the Hinge Pin.

Ok,let me take this at face value to form a question. It's a 3 club windy day in Chicago, Grinnell, or Edinburgh, ball is back in the stance but instead of my 9 iron I choose an easy eight iron to avoid loosing control of the shot.

The ball is about an inch closer to me traveling along the 2 dimensional Plane, and my club face is closed about 2 or 3 degrees. Would't I wind up hooking the ball off the planet given a straight away target line and square/open left set-up given a standard Aim Point? Or, have I not grasped something obvious which is probable?
