7-8 seems to say that the "impact conditions are not the same as in the address except for the clubshaft angle"... except for 10-9-B which is impact address ( specifically suited for hitters)
If this is the case then right forearm alignment should not be the same at impact as address - no? or maybe yes ? Answers please - i know what you are saying but does the book back up your thoughts?
If you are right then all the differences which occur at impact ( when compared with adjusted address) must occur without moving the forearm alignment. This means shaft leans forward, hands move forward, shoulders open, hips open, spine angle and head try and stay same... is this possible? - It seems so maybe... i am still thinking about it. Hands seem to need to be quite high or body bent over from hips with definite bend in the elbows when seen from behind. Are these optimal conditions for address ? Help please . Pictures would be helpful if you have any of yourselves demonstrating your address positions.
For players who do not have their right forearm in line at address but do achieve alignment at impact ( and this would seem to be most tour players ) ... what are they doing to acheive this? It clearly must be something different to those players who start with it at address and maintain alignment at impact.
My basic thinking is that
a)if their address and impact shaft alignments are the same - then they must be bending / dipping to get forearm lower ?
or
b)if their impact shaft if steeper than address - then the shaft has "risen" in line with forearm and their head / body alignments stay fairly similar?
I am "thinking out loud" at moment and fumbling in the dark abit but these thoughts have been in my head for some weeks now and i need some help. It does seem that there are good plyers who dip their head/body to achieve alignment and others who raise their impact shaft alignment to forearm level and maintain body alignments? Maybe... Like I said just thoughts, not beliefs! Thanks !
Thanks !
