EA & #3Acc.

With any degree of Acc 3 angle the left arm and the shaft are not in line (they do share the same vertical plane of motion i.e. left flying wedge) therefore extensor action is in a direction inside of the plane line i.e. pull the left arm in the direction it is already pointing. So yes it is not in the same direction as the shaft, unless #3 is zeroed out. For me, checking it out in a mirror is essentially about seeing how much Acc 3 angle I have. This is one of the reasons why the grip is so important. It is possible for a grip to look OK, but yet have no real geometric relationship with the sweetspot. Position golf sucks! So for putting EA pulls the left arm on the same plane as the shaft because I zero out #3 Acc. hope that helps
