You are putting me on the spot? I guess you can't get any further down & out than the low point? That would probably mean that the clubhead is starting to orbit in & up after the low point, so that's where I would put the ball (I hope). If I am lucky the clubhead orbit path intersects the target line 3 in beyond low point (or is 3 in too little? ). I'm waiting to hear the master's voice.
I will have to wait to read it - in the morning (here).

Ok, wait for the master to speak. All that I'm saying is that if the ball doesn't intersect the clubhead Orbit, then you'll use the hands to move the clubhead out of Orbit to reach the ball. That's Hacking.
