Yes, it is extra-terrestrial, like the force or "Schwartz!"

When you say "structure" are you talking about the sweet spot and the power package which carries it?

Good mechanics help us experience the feeling of the sweet spot but then the sweet spot creates its own mechanics demanding certain bio-mechanical structures.

I think that's why Bobby Jones swung so smoothly. It gave him his greatest feel of the sweet spot. Tonight was interesting for me because I had tried both swinging and hitting to carry the sweet spot but had the most success with a very short back hip turn and then pushing the sweet spot with my slowly returning back hip completely down through the ball. It's amazing how the ball reacts when you stay balanced and dire the sweet spot through the ball! The ball becomes like butter or non-existent. It becomes a sub-atomic game of billiards.

It's amazing. Remember when I said I was simply trying to support the on-plane sweet spot it it stressed out all different parts of my body but the ball was jumping? This was that!
