Just plane confused!

The club and its sweetspot CONTINUE Down and Out ON PLANE AFTER IMPACT POINT UNTIL THE SWEETSPOT REACHES ITS LOWEST POINT----OPPOSITE THE LEFT SHOULDER THE CENTER OF THE STROKE.

Actually, no it doesn't. This would be true if the left shoulder was stationary, however in the golf stroke the left shoulder is moving in its own little orbit that contains an upwards direction and this brings the low point backwards somewhat.

Mathew,

Does your statement assume the Left Shoulder's Adjusted Address location? If so, would "opposite the Left Shoulder at Impact Fix" satisfactorily locate Low Point?

I referenced low point and the fact that from Impact to Low Point the shoulder location moves upwards significantly enough to effect the low point and move it backwards slightly.

So No and No...lol

Opposite the left shoulder is the lowest point in relation to the left shoulder itself but not the lowest point in the clubhead orbit which occurs just prior to that.

It might help to elaborate on this also- in addition to responding to my other posts.

Whahahahaha

Apart from on the phone with you, ive never actually verbally put my thoughts across. Im not actually a very good speaker but think I might do more video responces now as would prefer to become better at speaking these things verbally.

For Mike O....

First of all- I loved that! No will ill- but the "Please tell me u can understand this"- that was beautiful and brought out the Bucket Chuckle in me!! Sorry if I'm driving you crazy!

Actually Matthew- that was very clear unlike my interpretation of your posts. At least I understand where you are coming from now. Of course, I'll need to take that new information and work with the ramifications and get back to you.

A few things before we move on-
1) The video was very clear and makes me want to just ignore any of your posts and start from scratch with the video- although I'll review your posts in light of the video and maybe I'll pick up some new insight.
2) I think we may still have trouble in paradise but how do I pay for or get more video answers!! That should be your modus operandi!! Was that really you or some imposter that made perfect sense!
3) I always like to keep up on technology- not saying I always do but I like to - I have no idea on how to upload video or what software system works easily. I'm going to need to learn that in the next month- I'm sure it's pretty easy- I'll be hitting the electronics store soon.

I do think at least for me- that it would have been less painful if at some point you would have said "I agree with the clubhead moving down while the shoulder is moving up"- but here is what I am saying .... in other words - you've got to bridge the gap and not just expect people to get into your world.

I am glad I am entertaining and you now understand me...

Thats fine - now we are on the same page....

2) Now that I understand what you are saying do you want to add step two - in regards to how you visualize low point happening before the left shoulder.

Do you mean how do you precisely locate it - you can't really... just engineer impact and keep the force going downplane into the followthrough....low point will take care of itself.

3) I think we may still have trouble in paradise but how do I pay for or get more video answers!! That should be your modus operandi!! Was that really you or some imposter that made perfect sense!

Yup that is me - I also have some videos of me playing guitar there if you are interested .

Buy a webcam and mic, create a youtube account and just capture your video straight to youtube.

I thought what I was saying was extremely clear....lol

Matthew,
Below are the only two items in your post that I wanted to clarify.

Do you mean how do you precisely locate it - you can't really... just engineer impact and keep the force going downplane into the followthrough....low point will take care of itself.

Does that mean that we're into a "theoretical" discussion that is not so much practically relevant? Of course, it would depend on the speed that the shoulder center was moving up etc. but I'm guessing that you're seeing this concept of the left shoulder center moving up and therefore realizing that the low point might be nanoseconds before the lever reaches the direct vertical below the left shoulder? Do I have that correct?

Thanks- I'm familiar with the webcam concept- but your advice seems right to the point and easily understandable

I thought what I was saying was extremely clear....lol
No, No, For me you have real issues there - in the written format! I only say that as feedback for you to consider. Now, on the video you were as clear as day to me.

Let me know about the first question here and then I'll be back

[Mike O]

I just watched the video for the 2nd time- starting off with "My, My"- you're killing me "Love that video!" Actually, I need a day or so to A) let some ideas simmer and B) give you a rest - I don't want to drive you away!! Too much fun.

Still might need some help on the last portion of the video and your original post. Can you video up an elaboration on why or what factors might influence low point being slightly before the left shoulder? Either way - I need to chew on this for a little bit for both reasons listed above.
