Ah-Ha Moment 0001-2006

The key thing you mention Marty is the 'feel' of the plane.

That feel is, without question - in the HANDS.

So if you monitor the path and plane that the HANDS travel, that the force you generate is traveling, that of the pressure points.

Bingo.

There you have it. And to think, all this time it has been right in your HANDS!



Simplicity buffs, see 5-0, 1-L, 6B-1D and 10-2-B, 2-0 A and B.

Pay attention to the path, plane and force that your HANDS travel.

But when you analyze the photos and videos, you can't draw the feel line. That has been the point I have been trying to address cause what is being said is it is the sweetspot plane angle, sweet spot plane line and that dog just doesn't hunt.

I have not issue stating you monitor and FEEL the sweetspot line, but that is not the actual path of the golf club.

Hmmmm.....
Hang on. We got a guy overboard here (me).

This is a great thread, and one that has smoke coming from my ears.

But...

Personally, I feel that impact planeline and lowpoint planeline are different animals. Both nocturnal, yes, but different.

And I am seeing in 2-C (dual horizontal) two different planelines that will not produce the same results. Because the clubhead passes through both doesnt mean, to me, that either planeline can be used.

Can anyone clear it up for me?

Thanks.

Best I can answer is that they are both on the SAME Plane, the sweetspot plane as shown in 2-C-1 #1.

Maybe this will help. When seeing both of these represented as lines on the ground you would see the Impact Plane Line inside the target line (between the ball and feet). The Low Point plane line would be on the target line. There is a difference between (space) them base on the distance the ball is from the low point. (can't locate reference, call it old age).

Hinging not withstanding both will always be on the plane, this is not the incline plane that the clubshaft is on, but the sweetspot plane.

The Lob shot would I believe require a different description but for standard strokes it is accurate.

Check it out. 2-C-1 #1 shows inclined plane, sweetspot plane (twice) and clubshaft plane - but not lowpoint plane.

The Low Point plane line would be on the target line. There is a difference between (space) them base on the distance the ball is from the low point. (can't locate reference, call it old age).

Keep in mind, the clubhead moves down/out/forward...

So...for any given point (in this case, impact), the clubhead continues downward to lowpoint (lowpoint planeline)...hence...I cant see how one could trace either and get the same result.

Hinging not withstanding both will always be on the plane, this is not the incline plane that the clubshaft is on, but the sweetspot plane.

They seem to me to be only on the 'plane' (term used loosely) of the angle of approach of the clubhead...but not on the same planeline in relation to the clubshaft plane. In otherwards, they dont seem to me to lie on the same plane on the ground. Again - down/out/forward.
