[O.B.Left]

D I think you took "towards the right foot" too literally. I dont where Homer said this but I would take it to mean laterally rather diagonally.

Shorter sticks require more upright lie angles however which does lead to a more upright plane angle , that and the abreviated backswing (less back up and IN for a shorter backswing) . Which translates into less OUT more Down , steeper Angle of Attack, less "side spin" (tilted backspin) more backspin. IMO, you can maintain shaft plane while moving the ball back with a singular club in hand.

Lets go to a new thread.
