The entire Left Arm, the Clubshaft and the back of the Left Hand are ALWAYS positioned against the flat plane - The plane of the Left Wristcock motion (perpendicular motion only).

In what way is this an important aspect to consider?

[airair]

The Right Arm and the Clubshaft are positioned on the plane of the Right Wrist Bend - ALWAYS at Right Angles to the Left Arm Plane.

In what way is this an important aspect to keep in mind?

A Swinger uses Longitudinal acceleration and the hitter uses radial acceleration.

Elaboration is appreciated.

With regards to the importance of ball position being correct with each hinge motion in order to get the results as expected, what are these ball positions we are talking about here?

In what way is PRESSURE POINT CONTROL the cure for shanking?

In what way is PRESSURE POINT CONTROL the cure for shanking?

Shanking is the result of Off Plane motion. Typically, that motion is Under Plane, i.e., strongly 'inside-out' and with the left wrist Arched. Hence, ironically, it is the fault of the better player (and not the poorer one with his steeper, 'outside-in' Plane, and the left wrist Bent).

Under such conditions, the Clubhead Lag and its On Plane driving Pressure cannot be sustained. Instead, with the player seeking any kind of solid contact, there must be Throwaway, a subconscious attempt to divert the Club to an On Plane path.

So, the real control of Shanking is On Plane Motion. Only then can the player experience its inevitable result: a sustained, driving Pressure Point Pressure.

For the afflicted, here's a two-part remedy:

1. Strive for a more upright swing plane. Do this by allowing the Clubhead to fractionally lag the Arm Motion in Startup.

2. Bend, or "cup" the Left Wrist during the Backstroke. Make sure it is Bent at the Top.

This steeper, Anti-Flat swing with its Bent, Anti-Arched left wrist, will stop the Shanks. Then you can go back to the middle ground.

In the two percent of cases where this cure doesn't work . . .

There's always fishing.

Food for thought. Thanks.
