Ok teach, simple?

  1. As you play the ball back, you need a corresponding plane angle steepness adjustment.
  2. Because the steeper plane tilts the Low Point Plane, a clubface adjustment (rotate grip) must be made to align the face to the Target.
  3. Because the Plane is Steeper, the Right Forearm is also Steeper. So, the Right Forearm Angle of Approach will close faster, so Hinge Action can produce and sustain the line of compression.


It's really, simple. This is a big part of Chapter 2.

So with a normal width stance, and the ball played at my belt buckle, I decide to hit a 9 iron and aim 2 inches in front of the ball with Aim Point Technique to hit a shot straight to the pin. Normally, that's what will happen. I did it yesterday with all sorts of clubs. LOL! But let's say it's windy so I want to slide the ball back in my stance. Does the ball move closer to me? Do I hood or close the club face? Am I possibly the slowest golfer on the planet and in need of a new hobby?
