Maybe the piece you are missing is this: When the Ball is located at Low Point, the Left Shoulder is automatically higher at Fix than it is with the Ball located further Up Plane, i.e., back in the Stance. This Shoulder-to-Ball Radius is established using the geometrically-correct procedure discussed in 2-J-1.

Aha! That's why! Left Shoulder has not moved up as much....I shoulda known that.

Thanks Lynn.

O....one more thing...

Just because the Club has hit the ground does not mean that it has reached its lowest point. That lowest point does not occur until the Clubhead is in front of the Left Shoulder (and further Down Plane, i.e., further down in the ground).

So are you saying that....

....with a shot taken where the ball is positioned, say- in the middle of the stance.....that really, one could try to swing to a Low Point under the ground/at the Left Shoulder? (you just won't reach it because you won't hit the ground before the clubhead has reached Left Shoulder).

I hope these thoughts aren't too out there.....
