I have been working on a centered and stationary mellon for a while now. I had questions relating to the eyes. My tendency before was to turn my head so that I was looking directly at the ball with a gaze straight out of their sockets (as opposed to shifting the eye balls independently) This tendency would result in my head (and shoulders to a certain extent "going to" the ball i.e. slightly open shoulder alignment) If my head is centered it stand to reason that the eyes should gaze straight out of the sockets, no? Doing this I find that I cannot look directly at the ball, but rather I have a down the line behind the ball vantage point.
As a younger player I had a tendency to want to move the ball too far back (back then it was a stance thing and not a low point thing) Is it possible that I moved the ball back in my stance to accommodate the natural desire to have a straight gaze at the ball? Does this square with the Jones/Nicklaus tendency to turn the head to their right?
It seems to me if the eye line is not aligned that it will be tougher to see a straight plane line etc. So the closer the ball is to low point the more the ball can only be "looked at" with the left eye?
