Having the left arm perpendicular to the shoulder line at low point is actually an impossibility due to the power package structure being triangular in shape. The first time in a golf stroke that this shape is formed, is at followthrough - both arms straight and so even at this point, the left arm is still not perpendicular to the shoulder line. Any time prior to this - the right arm is bent making the angle between the left arm and shoulder line more acute.

Your statement implies that you think that this is even possible which is absurd and is completely offtopic and totally irrelevant. What bearing does the shoulder line being perpendicular to the left arm or not have on the FACT that the motion of the left shoulder center contains an upwards direction from impact to low point therefore moving the low point backwards a slight amount?

Also, you are assuming that there is no other downward movement of the clubhead as a result of the wrist uncocking or any other downward motion affecting the clubhead.
Sure, this is a slight offsetting factor whereby the clubhead is traveling in a circle around the left wrist, however the difference from impact to low point is nominal in comparison to the effect that the left shoulder makes on the clubhead.

There is nothing else that is going to make any effect on the clubhead going 'downward' motion that affects the clubhead downwards like your post implies.... this is again absurd.

I would of let this slide if you had said "for concept purposes" or if you assumed a fixed "arm - club" perpendicular to the shoulder line (don't get nit picky on the perpendicular- if you need more details I'll supply it) but this holds no such disclaimer.

Should we go on Okie? Or do you need a moment to get a beer out of the fridge?
My statements don't need to contain a health warning unlike some .
