2-N-0 Clubhead Line of Flight and 2-J-2 Inside-Out Impact Talk

[Yoda]

I've read this over and over on the forums but I don't think I'm fully defogged. It sounds easy enough but...

I've heard the term "swing to right field" is this a good image to have? This is probably a silly question, but I'm having trouble with hooks when I try to visualize this at the range.

Thanks!

There's right field, Rich...and there's the crowd downing hot dogs to the right of the foul line. If those folks watch you swing and start yelling "Incoming!"...you are officially Under Plane, i.e., coming at the Ball too much from the inside, thereby producing an Inside-Out Stroke. But not to worry, because if the Blade is anywhere near Square as you move through Impact, that Ball ain't headed Right. We're talkin' clotheshanger Blue Darters here.

This is in contrast to the correct On Plane Right Forearm and #3 Pressure Point (Right Forefinger) Tracing down the Plane Line from Impact Point to Low Point. This correct Plane Line Tracing produces only an Inside Out Impact (1-L-13/15/16) -- not an Inside-Out Stroke -- and perfectly straight Shots. There is a difference.

And that difference is measured in the decibel level from the Tee Box:

Fore Left!!

Study 2-F (the Inclined Plane); 2-N-0 (the Clubhead Line-of-Flight); and 2-J-2 (Inside-Out Impact).

So, it isn't so much the clubhead moving inside out as it is the clubface, being slightly open, contacting the ball on the inside aft quadrant?

You're gaining on it, Bigwill. You keep on truckin,' and we'll keep on fillin' in the blanks!

At Impact Fix (7-8 ) you erect your selected Inclined Plane Angle (Clubshaft Control) -- ideally the Turned Shoulder Plane (10-6-B) -- and align the Clubface (2-J-1) in accordance with the desired Hinge Action (Clubface Control) -- slightly Open for Horizontal Hinge Action (Swinging) and slightly Closed for Angled Hinge Action (Hitting).

The whole object of the Stroke is then to return to these pre-set, precision alignments with the required Power (Clubhead Control) and then to Drive through Impact to Both Arms Straight. It's as simple as that.

And you either do it...

Or you don't.

If you do...

It's a good thing.

If you don't...

It's not.
