LOVE THIS . . . RIGHT FOREARM FLYING WEDGE ON GOLD TOOF DISPLAY AND THE SHADOW OF THE SHAFT RUNNING UP THE LEFT ARM . . . . BOTH WEDGE ALIGNMENTS SHOWN PERFECTLY . . AND LOOK AT THAT LEVEL RIGHT WRIST.

I don't know about this. I'm not denying or agreeing. The Shaft shadow on the Left Arm results from the position of the light source. Given that the shadow line doesn't change width while moving up the Left Arm might be evidence that the shadow isn't cast by the Clubshaft. There appear to be multiple light sources behind him. The shadow, may be from the Left Side of his Torso with another light source brightening up the bottom of his Left Arm. The shadow could look like a line. But given the Darkness and definition of the shadow, if it resulted from the shaft, the light source would likely need a 5,000 watt Tungsten Lamp positioned a couple of feet away. Lastly, do you think, that with his swing speed, given the shutter speed (Blurred shaft) that the shadow would/could be so well defined?

Are you sure that the Right Wrist is Level? I would like to believe that but given the Angles, I simply can't tell. A level Right Wrist would have a Clubshaft/Right Forearm angle about 135 degrees while a Cocked Right Wrist about 90 degrees.

Don't get me wrong. I think it's a great photo and it shows some great alignments.

Very interesting
Very interesting pix.
I am reminded of;
In the Preface to TGM HK wrote:
"The Geometry of Golf has two aspects-the facts and the illusions, visual and sensory. When the facts are understood, the illusions not only cease to misleade but can be utilized."

Perhaps the answere lies here:
