Been listening to the recordings, reading the book and the posts here. Still some confusion.
Let me start with that I do understand ( I think) the different procedures - Feelwise.
But the geometrical/mechanical aspects are disturbing me. And I wonder if Homer, unintentionally, mixed mechanics and feelings in chapter 2.
So please comment my thinking.
So here we go;
It took some re-readings to see that Yoda higtlighted clubhead and not clubshaft.
If I trace with my right forearm the Geometric Plane line ( A straight Line ) - The clubhead will cover the Arc of Approach, so the blur makes an arc
also,
With my right forearm tracing the Angle of Approach ( which also is a straight line) - the clubhead will cover the Angle of Approach.
And here comes my thoughts of Mr. K´s mixing.
The feel should be that the clubhead blurs in a straight line, but the blur is in fact making an arc since we have an inclined plane.
The only time the blur does not make an arc and moves in a straight line is if the plane is striktly vertical.
or am I totally wrong here?
Meatballz . . . . You are making this WAY WAY WAY too hard brothaman. The EFFORT is to make the club move out to right field in a straight line. That's it . . . can you actually do it? Probably not because your armz is connected to your body so eventually you are going to have the club move and an arc . . . and when you move something in an ARC . . . what do you get? You by LAW get CF. But in Hitting do you want CF? No you don't. But can you eliminate it? No you can't. But can you limit it? Yes. How? By moving in as STRAIGHT of a LINE fashion as you can.
The Angle of Approach can be located . . . but Homer said it doesn't really matter HOW MUCH or HOW LITTLE you GO OUT . . . just GO OUT ON AS STRAIGHT OF A LINE AS POSSIBLE. Homer said that the Angle of Approach procedure would accomodate varying degrees of OUT just as well.
Dude you understand this . . . you gotta put it in the incubator and just let it simmer. Leave it alone and come back. You got it thought dude. You just don't think you got it.
When I play I'll take a couple of practice swings (hits) tracing the planeline (with RF and PP3). I'll watch the direction of the clubhead into impactposition.
Then when I hit the ball I'll abandon the feel of tracing the planeline. Instead I'll hit down on the ball, out in the direction of the clubhead seen in the practice swings.
That's it - is that it?
All kinds of stuff goes wrong sometimes: ie. when I want to hit it too hard and runs out of right arm, or when the feeling of wanting to hit forward gets too big, or when I take the club too far back and turns the hands and suddenly needs to swivel/roll back into impact........etc
But on most days, this is sooooo simple. Just trust it, and hit it long and straight.
