[DOCW3]

Actually, with the dowels, the Sweetspot is at the base of the dowel. When you point the dowel you are pointing the Sweetspot, so there is no conflict of 'Clubhead' and 'Clubshaft.' But let me extend your question to the Geometry of the Stroke Mathew has illustrated.

Clubhead Control (Lag Pressure) is assigned to one of the Pressure Points in the Hands (1-L-B), usually the #3 Pressure Point (right index finger). And Clubhead Lag Feel is Sweetspot Feel, not Clubshaft Feel.

The player monitors the Clubhead (and its Sweetspot) by Lag Pressure Feel only, never directly (5-0). That includes its On Plane Line of Flight (2-N-0). Thus, the On Plane Geometry of the orbiting Sweetspot is likewise assigned to the #3 Pressure Point (as guided by the Right Forearm's Tracing of the Straight Plane Line per 5-0).

It is that On Plane Geometry that Mathew has so beautifully illustrated and that students should find quite helpful in their efforts to Drive (Hitting) or Drag (Swinging) the Club Down Plane to Full Extension.

Your comments are appreciated. However, for me, I am left with the impression/feeling that the dowels are the shaft.

After two readings of the book and months of forum participation (are there enough adjectives to describe appreciation for the forum content and guidance of TGM leaders like Lynn Blake?) my commitment for a third reading of the book was anticipated to be just " a piece of cake." To my surprise the wheels started to spin in Chapter 2 and traction wasn't established after listening to Mr. Kelley's comments on the audio's .

In transition where many experience problems, Mr. Kelley's advice to forget the clubshaft plane, the 2-C illustrations and the 10-5 photos stimulate meaningful questions. I feel positive about what I am concluding but just can't find reinforcement for validation.

Thanks for the response. I will stay "tuned-in."
