Cannot see the pictures?

Anyway, this thing taught me the difference between the #3 PP staying on Top of the Shaft at Impact or moving to the Aft Side of the Shaft for Impact. I found out that to keep the Pressure on the Top of the Shaft, you have to Rotate the Hand a certain way although it doesn't feel like a rotation. Not Rotating in any way, moves the the Pressure to the Aft Side.

What I see in the dtl view is a great reminder of the DOWN and OUT of the Plane, the value of a fixed Pivot point and stable feet, and the driving of the sweet spot from AFT of the shaft.

I also see why the elbow plane works going down the plane and how you could get the idea that hitting with the right shoulder dragging down the Power Package could work, too.

I'm going to bed, nice clear geometric image, D!

When you have a minute just try it. Use one Dowel and a Long Iron.

Hold the Dowel at its half way point, in your Left Hand, and Place the Grip of the Club on the Side of it (On Plane Clubshaft) and wrap your Left Thumb around it. Your Left Hand will hold the Dowel and the End of the Grip by Clamping them together so that the Dowel rotates as the Club goes through the Impact Interval. Use your Right Hand by Griping the Club with the Grip running up the Lifeline of your Right Hand and the Right Hand under the Shaft, with a Bent and Level Right Wrist.

Just go slow back and forth. The Right Forearm (and Hand) is the Paddlewheel and the Dowel is an Axel. The Axis of the Dowel is Perpendicular to the Horizontal Plane.

The Right Forearm Wedge moves simultaneously as you stroke back and forth. The Right Elbow, Forearm, Hand, Clubshaft and Clubhead; all Rotate around the Hinge Located at your Left Shoulder.

Per usual, Daryl, you make perfect sense. Thank you.
I'm headed to the basement to try it.
