Flail and Low Point BM#229

center, when both arms are straight. The club is in the hands, hence the
clubhead is, by definition, farthest away from center at both arms straight.
That is, unless there is bending/arch of the wrists.


Agreed?



Uh...no.

Not agreed.

1. The terms 'Low Point' and 'Radius' are not interchangeable. The Low
Point of the Golf Stroke -- which is what we're talking about here --
occurs when the Stroke Radius (the Left Arm and Club Assembly) points
directly at the Ground. This is axiomatic...self-evident...the way things actually
are
(no matter how we may perceive them to be or wish them
to be).


2. The maximum distance of the Clubhead from the Body -- its Left Shoulder or
its 'Center' or its whatever -- is detetermined by the length of the Radius.
And, as stated, that Radius is the Left Arm and Club. Hence, the
Clubhead is at its farthest distance from the Body when the Left Arm
is Straight. The condition of the Right Arm -- Straight or Bent -- is
irrelevant.
