I have to go fast to catch up to you guys ... want to nail the book quotes, support it with drawings.... leave no room for broken telephone ..

PREPARATIONS

2-J-2 INSIDE-OUT IMPACT Because the Inclined Plane is inclined, the Downstroke arc of the Clubhead path on this Inclined Plane moves down-and-out form inside the Plane Line until it reaches its lowest point (See sketches in 2-C) after which it moves up-and-in back inside the Plane Line. So if Impact occurs before the low point of the arc is reached it is an inside-out Impact – or hit- and the Clubhead will travel outward and downward after Impact. Though it is an “inside-out” Impact it is not an “inside-out” Stroke unless the Plane Line crosses the Line of Flight as depicted in photo 10-5-E.

If Impact occurs beyond the low point the Clubhead travel is up-and-back inside the Plane Line and is an outside-in Impact but not an outside-in Stroke unless the Plane Line crosses the Line of Flight as depicted in 10-5-D.

Enter what Lynn calls "the problem".... most golfers dont see this inside -out impact for balls played back of low point. From their perspective , the golfers view in Startup they try to cover the plane line with their clubhead (Steering) and in Start down they try to get over to the plane line to attack the back in a more linear fashion. They go out , over top of the plane in startdown to attack the ball straight on ... along the low point plane line / base line.

Need a drawing from the players perspective of the circular orbit while the clubhead is say two feet away from the ball along the arc of approach with the face sqaure to the arc (lets assume angled hinging for now) and another a second face covering the target line (and it will appear to be directly over the plane line given the golfers perspective while it isnt so when viewed from a DTL perspective) and lets square this second face to the plane line. The arc of approach will appear curved to a degree in accordance to the plane angle what do we want elbow ... lets make it a lower one to accentuate the curved nature of the arc for illustrative purposes .... not to scale . Scale makes all this stuff look insignificant interestingly.... when it isnt , not at all. Note how the Steered face is taking a higher plane angle , nearly vertical when viewed DTL , not quite vertical as its planed though the golfers eyes.


Remember extension , low to the ground , square to square . Thats the triad of Steering .

3-F-7-A STEERING is the Number One malfunction – The Bent Left Wrist and Clubhead Throwaway. Any or all of the following faults during Impact may need to be adjusted out – holding:

1. the Clubface square to the Target Line
2. the Clubhead on Target Line
3. the Clubhead on a level or upward path
A very successful anti-steering therapy is an exaggerated “inside-out” Cut Shot per 10-5-E

Its born of false logic! These drawings are trying to show the correct path of the clubhead and the face angle.
