Your shaft will stay in contact with the bench while your clubhead travels in a arc. This is a natural phenomenon. Remember that the inclined plane lies against the bench and ALSO on the ground. So what happens on the bench ALSO happens on the ground! If the ground "was raised" at the bench height the result would be the same: You would dig a giant divot that would be straight in its inner part (at the shaft/hosel). Hope it helps visualizing! yodeli View Public Profile Send a private message to yodeli Visit yodeli's homepage! Find all posts by yodeli
