The Bear,

Could you please give me your understanding on what is being represented by these pictures?

I am looking at a picture that depicts a possible impact as described in the book?

Does it represent an idea or a reality?

If an idea, then that changes my perception of it. If a reality, then it leads me to these questions.


Maybe, it's not supposed to represent a real impact.

It says quite clearly (SHOWN WITH IMPACT INTERVAL EXTENDED TO LOW POINT) and I thought low point should be in front of the ball for an iron shot per the geometry of the circle.

Because now as I look at, the club is carrying the ball from impact on a tee down to low point(per 2-c-1 #1 and 2-c-2#1) and I thought the ball rolled up the face. Should the ball actually go down after it's hit? What if it was on the ground and not on a tee? That would be troubling would it not?

I think I keep confusing myself and can't keep it all straight in my head. I'll go back to the book and keep reading.

If I knew what the exact correct image was, I wouldn't be here asking if this was the correct image.

Just because someone questions something doesn't mean they don't believe it.

As it holds up to questioning, one's belief in it will grow.

In order for that to happen, answers to questions need to take place.

When the questions don't get answered, that's when I start to wonder why didn't it get answered.

Did I ask a bad question?

Was my question specious as Lynn has stated?

Have I not researched enough to merit a question of this magnitude?

Maybe the questions aren't answerable or proovable and thus require an amount of faith. Nothing wrong with that.

These are vector diagrams. The club sketches are likely placed to aid the reader in visualizing the environment where the vectors are generated. When the club moves from one position to the next it is dynamic and in many cases incremental. The drawings, of necessity to be functional, sometimes foreshorten over emphasize angular or linear changes for YOUR-the readers- convenience.
visualize- "hand fly" the dynamics

I do not mean to intrude or interpret homers intentions or meanings- This is my understanding and how I read and understand what is writen. I will take my lumps if I am off-base.
