More Notes to myself after 9 months of TGM...

In case ST, my old flame is reading, She meant nothing to me sweetie, it was late, my blood sugar was low, the guys said they were putting the band back together...

The orbit of the sweet spot is monitored by the # 3 PP so that the Hitter and Swinger can properly stay on plane. That is a 3 dimensional orbit. I had worried about the imbalance and shortness in my left leg influencing where my impact point really is. But I had worried so much about the DOWN, I forgot about the OUT, which the # 3 PP is essential for monitoring the "OUTNESS" of the plane of the club.

As soon as I started throwing the club OUT to find my Impact Point, my swinging strongly improved in distance, trajectory (inverted fish-hook), and direction (spin). My Impact Point, just as Jerry and Kevin pointed out, is much further forward, not 3" inside the left heel, but at the very inside edge of my left heel.

Having found the Impact Point, the question of Hinging becomes important. For me, with a leg shortness, Horizontal Hinging doesn't make much sense since the ball is smothered or sharply yanked left. In contrast, using the Angle Hinge allows for a straight ball with a high trajectory. My Pivot for Swinging must be full and under control to maintain balance and find the Impact Point.

Hitting is much easier with the Impact Point found. The issue is to "push the handle" crossline with # 3 PP, not the clubhead, after RFT/Light EA provides the left elbow as a marker pointing to the Impact Point. Moving the elbow left to Hula allows an almost straight OUT and DOW thrust through the ball while pushing club handle.
