Homer in the diagrams of 2-C , for illustrative purposes (I think) assumed Separation to occur at Low Point. But what if it isnt? What are the implications?

Lynn has said that the impact interval is approx 3/4 of an inch in length , which implies to me that for balls positioned further than 3/4 of an inch back of Low Point, Separation will occur prior to Low Point.

What are the implications of this to the Arc of Approach , the Angle of Approach , the Line of Compression, clubface angle etc etc if any?

In 2-J-3 Homer writes that you determine the Angle of Approach by drawing a straight line from Impact to Low Point. So would I be right in thinking that the Arc and Angle of Approach are unchanged but the clubface angle per 1-L-17 needs to be square to the target at Separation..........

That picture would be a bit of shock to most golfer wouldnt it? A square to the hole clubface at Separation but a clubhead still way back of low point on the Arc of Approach. The clubhead needing to continue its Inside/out journey long after the ball has gone. Most golfers would assume this to be a draw or hook shot deal wouldnt they? But it isnt. Is it?

Sorry I cant do any fancy computer graphics which would help illustrate this. Maybe our good buddy, Daryl could help out.

If this is true , no wonder most divots point to the left ..........a straight line base line has way more Down and Out to it than you'd ever imagine... especially for shots played back in your stance.

Depends on many factors.

7-2 covers the alignments-per grip

because swinging (horizontal hinge) would be vertival club face, on plane lag pressure- Hitting (angled hinge) would be both clubface and lag pressure on plane. Then the low point can be moved a long way by #2 and even to down and out with an up and in clubface {a bad thing but possible}
