Yoda's Ground School Yellow Paper (Hit the DIRT!!!!)

[hcw]

Thanks to Martee for the tech. assist. Golf Clap.

Thanks to Yoda for showing me this over flap jacks . . . shirt's still got the surup stain (amongst others).

Let the education commence . . . .

in reality, about how far apart are the impact plane line and the low point plane line usually?...also is the sweetspot plane line between them?

Starting with the ball located at Low Point, all three of these lines will appear as one. The further back the ball is located from Low Point, the wider the separation becomes between the lines. So the distance of separation is variable for a single club by ball location to low point. The distance is also different between clubs.

Yes the Sweet Spot Plane Line is inbetween them.

Diagram 2-C-1#1 gives a good view of this from down the line.

The true Three Dimensional Impact: Down, Out (flip the first picture over), and Forward to Low Point .

Picture number two, 10-13-A .

Seeing is believing.

What are the words at the top right of the first diagram: above radius, tangent and chord?

Thanks for posting

Circumference-the line bounding the circle of its length

thanks, that description helped a LOT!

We're talking about a Clubhead Orbit with a Radius (Left Arm and Club) of about five feet (and a Diameter of twice that). How much "down" is left in such a Stroke as the Clubhead bottoms out at Impact? If the Ball is located precisely at Low Point, the answer is 'none,' and the Impact and Low Point Plane Lines combine as one. And even if the Ball is positioned prior to Low Point, i.e., Up Plane, the answer is 'not much.' But, just as there is a tide in your morning coffee, it's there, and if you don't go all the way down, the Ball will tell you about it.

Regarding the Sweetspot Plane Line...

By definition in 2-F, both the Impact Plane Line and Low Point Plane Line are Sweetspot Plane Lines. It is the Sweetspot -- the Club's Longitudinal Center of Gravity -- that is orbiting On Plane (and hence 'On Line') through Impact and Low Point.

hmmm...maybe what i am thinking about is impact, separation, and lowpoint plane lines?
