Ball Location Adjustments
 

Following is a diagram to help explain Ball Location and it's affect on Plane Angle. Basically, the farther back from Low-Point the Ball is Located, then the Steeper the Plane Angle.

Homer Kelley's method is geometrically correct and allows Low-Point to remain at the Left Shoulder. In addition, it automatically adjusts the Angle of Approach.







Notice that the original Plane Line, inscribed on the surface of the Inclined Plane is still present. Step 4. It's below ground.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Geometry of the Circle:
The implications of these "Alignments" are significant. As the Plane Angle Steepens for any given Club Length, the Club length decreases, which requires increased Hookface (Adjustment), which increases the Clubface Closing Ratio, which corresponds to the wider Angle of Approach of the aft Ball Location.

This means that for any ONE Plane Angle for any given Club, there is only ONE Ball Location that Hinge Action can produce Straight-away Flight without disturbing Low-Point Location.

Plane Angle, Ball Location, Hookface (closing Ratio) are inextricably related. Change one and you must change the other two to produce Straight-Away Ball Flight.

Woh, I have always assumed that when the ball is played further back (up plane) that made the low point further down in the ground but that the plan angle would not change. :eyes:

Daryl do you mean "angle of attack" ???

Hey D, man you got some computer drawing skills.

What if after 3 you lowered your center , left shoulder or whatever to the get the club on the ground? Thereby maintaining the shaft angle, lie angle, plane angle and moving the base line plane line under ground.....which would via address alignment only create a divot?

That'd be another option right?

What is Hook-Face?

Get a Hockey Stick.

1. Place the bottom edge flat on the ground, heel-toe, as possible and square the leading edge to the target while the shaft and face are aligned vertically. Easy, right?
2. Lean the shaft forward without disturbing the Leading Edge Alignment of square to the Target and level to the ground.
3. Note that the Shaft Plane has Flattened by a large number of degrees.
4. If you raise the Shaft to the original plane, then the face will open substantially.
5. Close the face by rotating the shaft counterclockwise until the leading edge is again, square to the target and level to the ground.
6. You have learned to change the Hook-face of the Hockey Stick.
7. Normally, when the shaft is level to the ground on the Backstroke to level to the ground on the follow-through, the face rotates 180 degrees. That means that for about every inch of Clubhead travel, the Clubface closes about one degree (guesstimate).
8. But, when you change the inherent Hook-face, you change the Clubface Closing Ratio. From parallel to parallel, the Clubface may rotate (close) 220 degrees.
9. This can accommodate the wider Angle of Approach from Playing the Ball back in your Stance.

In my video of "Right Forearm Participation" I'll demonstrate all of the essential alignments. It's too difficult to explain on paper because you have to see how the Right Forearm Angle of Approach seeks out Low-Point and not the Ball.

Waiting for DMAN
 

I'm looking forward to the creation and release of that video! :)

ICT

Don't forget to bring the extra wide angled lens to Madison!!! :laughing9

I hope your expectations remain very high.

Shock absorbers may come in handy as well.

Meeting you guys is going to be the best day of my year. :laughing9

You might have to retitle your movie:

Daryl Meets The Three Stooges

Combination Horror and Comedy! :laughing9

Confession
 

I haven't always been a guy! :(

Will that change things between us D? :)


ICT

The distance between us.

Daryl,
If meeting the three of us is going to be the best day of your year, your expectations are already way too high.
City is improving his golf motion greatly and after a few short hours with Yoda, he may be the whole show.
Kev's growth in TGM and his ability to synthesize and communicate is just plain stunning.
You won't believe my nice new headcovers.

When I demonstrate the Alignments of Right Forearm participation, teach you how to achieve them, and teach you how to monitor them, you'll play good Golf every time out. You'll be shocked and awed.... You're going to feel like Baghdad.

Then, you'll see your new head covers as a wise investment. :laughing9

Note taking
 

I'm bringing a small camera jobbie. I want to get everything on tape! I am psyched!


Patrick

Good, and you'll have the video. You'll be very surprised when I show you how to Trace the Plane Line so that both the #3pp pressure trace and the LCOG are simultaneously On Plane from Release to Both Arms Straight. Precision Impact. :) Sustain the Lag.

Right Forearm Participation also Includes:

Right Forearm = Clubshaft Control
Hinging
Swivel
Downstroke Acceleration Sequence
Pulley and the Straight line Delivery Path of the Endless Belt

15 minutes.

D , you really prefer that to Left Hand = Clubface, Right Forearm = Clubshaft?

Its doable, I chip like that sometimes but Homer tried it out and ended up assigning clubface control to the left hand.

I am very excited about this. Patrick, start adding O.B. to your PMs about our trip. I may be able to talk him into joining us as well!!!

Kevin

Sorry for misleading. The Hinging, Swivel, Downstroke acceleration Sequence, Pulley and the Straight line Delivery Path of the Endless Belt, I'll address only regarding Right Forearm Participation. I didn't mean to say that the Right Forearm controls all of those issues. I only mean to say that the Right Forearm participates in each of them.

Left Hand = Clubface
#3 PP = Clubhead
Right Forearm = Clubshaft

Makes sense. Thanks.
