I have drawn colored lines to represent the different power accumulator angles.

Blue lines - PA #4 angle
Yellow lines - PA#1 angle
Red Lines - PA#2 angle.
Green Lines - PA#3 angle

Have I correctly represented PA#3?

I have understood it to be the situation where the release swivel occurs causing the left hand to roll over so that it approaches the impact location with forward clubshaft lean (which means that the clubshaft is not in-line with the left arm thereby implying incomplete PA#3 release). However, after impact (image 3) the left arm and clubshaft are in a straight line thereby implying complete release of PA#3. Am I wrong, and is the PA#3 angle best seen, and understood, from the DTL view?

Jeff.
Jeff . . . It's probably easier to see what the #3 angle is from down the line or if the camera were positioned where the ball would fly over it.





Here's #3 Maintained


Now it's gone . . .
