Mike o..

Thank you for your distintion and clarification!!!

Clubshaft can travel on, or to- and from, either Plane because Clubshaft rotation must be around the Sweetspot - not vice versa.

So what is the means by which the shaft can travel on, or to and from?

Does it differ for swinging and hitting...If so...Why and How


I would love to hear what Dr. Collards has to say!!!!


BTW there is a Shaft Plane and a Sweetspot plane so the people who are referring to the Clubshaft are referring to the visible plane but Homer was referring to the invisible sweetspot plane

There are many planes.....There is not a "The PLANE" situation here...

I'll try to post a more detailed post on this in the next couple of weeks- if things work out, but for now.

The means is that - the shaft is in a subservient role- it has a direct relationship with the lcg but can only follow the lcg, the lcg is the controlling force.

Does it differ from hitting to swinging? No, the straight line shaft rotates around the lcg regardless of whether your hitting or swinging. However, in a more isolated observation of shaft flexing activity - there definitely is a difference in shaft reaction to hitting versus swinging. For example, at impact the swinger would have more clubhead droop and the hitter would have more clubhead bow (prestressed clubshaft), based on the different acceleration methods used.
