I placed a portion of your post in bold . . . I think this is something that we all could benefit from by a bit more expansion on the subject . . . HOW DO YOU GET A "NEOPHITE" HITTER TO ABANDON THE FEAR OF NOT HAVING THE FACE SQUARE TO THE PLANE LINE AND MATCHING THE TWO LINES OF FLIGHT?
This thread is pure genius! Superb job on the camera work! This will clear a bunch of fog for many . . . if they are willing to read and understand.
Great job!
Thanks Bucket,
I'll try to give you my perspective when Hitting. I see both the lines at Address. I imagine a dowel laying in front of the ball as my Ball Line of Flight. And, I imagine a dowel laying in front of the ball as the extension of the 10-5-E Plane Line, out to right field.
I use the first dowel to align my Clubface. Once I'm done with the Clubface alignment, that imaginary dowel evaporates. Then, the only thing is see is the Clubhead covering the Plane Line (the 2nd imaginary dowel) in my waggle above the ball.
As an aside: The same 'matching' of Clubface and Plane Line can be Deadly in a bunker, when using Open-Open.

As we have mentioned Neophite Hitters in this thread and as I consider myself to be one, Ted, could you post a picture with actual dowels on the ground to illustrate what you were talking about in your latest post, i.e. one to represent the Line of flight of the ball and one "as the extension of the 10-5-E Plane Line, out to right field". It would help with the age old question, how far out to right are we talking, atleast for your pattern?
