6 Iron. This illustration indicates Impact at 6" behind Low-Point. Ball probably separates at 5 1/2" and Clubhead enters the ground at 5" behind Low-Point. Dirt starts to show at 4" behind Low-Point. Divot depth is 3/8".
Question is: Does one side of Low-Point have more divot? Why?
Innercityteacher played 57 rounds of golf this summer and must have hit thousands of balls. Do you think he ever measured a single Divot?

Yes. because #2 accumulator is still going down, until both arms streight. longer in front of LP longer arc. Except with zero (or fixed) #3 then balanced divot. (Scoop)

Print this out and turn upside down for Players View. Average Club: Impact 4" behind Low Point.
AWSOME thats exactly what Im talking about.......
Straight shot or draw?
Its very interesting to look at this drawn to scale, thanks D. I always thought Homer avoided scale for illustrative purposes......but now Im also wondering if he did so to heighten the readers appreciation for the Inside-Out nature of Impact along the Arc of Approach. I dunno Maybe. He did say that "its inside-out and should feel inside-out".
Where did Homer say that Separation occurs at Low Point? I can't find that anywhere.
Lets agree on the Flat Left Wrist and that Both Wrists are Level at Impact. We know that the Right Wrist is Level, Bent and Vertical at Impact. Then, is the Left Wrist Vertical at Impact or at Low Point?
The Club is gripped so that the Hands align to the Longitudinal Center of the Club. That's why the Left Thumb must be on that Line (aft side of shaft). When you grip the shaft and adjust your Flat Left Wrist to Vertical, the Clubface looks shut.
I gotta run. Wife is rushing me to go for a walk in a park 30 miles from here. Go figure.
Push with a draw for horizontal hinging push fade for angled hinging and if its possible to have verticle hinge a low push?
(I could be wrong here)

Bear, that's my geometry. Perfectly straight with a straight ballistic upward trajectory (maybe the "Rifle" Shafts help). Compression rating: "Very High". The ball doesn't have a floating, curvy trajectory look although it carries farther than it seems and lands soft. It takes off like a bullet.
If the true face angle is closed to the true path of the sweetspot then it would be a draw. This swing illustrates a that has a rather shallow verticle angle of attack considering how little "out" there is after seperation/low point. The more down = the more out.
