C'mon,
Jeff. . .
Mr. Austin clearly is 'hitting up' in this sequence. That means -- by definition -- that the Club is ASCENDING from its lowest point in its orbit (opposite the Left Shoulder).
Since that dynamic is so obvious, I must assume that you mean the
normal low point -- the left shoulder, as aligned
inline by God and unadjusted by an abnormal backwards tilt -- in
front of a normal Ball location. Otherwise, your observation makes no sense at all. Clearly, Mr. Austin's Left Shoulder is behind the Impact Ball Positon, thereby mandating his Upward Swing.
Given this abnormal, backwards-adjusted Low Point, Mr. Austin indeed is swinging
Down Plane through
Low Point -- but
up through the
Ball -- as required. And, as you correctly have observed, with the requisite "hands are ahead" Impact Alignments (2-J-1). Nevertheless, his 'adjusted' Geometry has produced an Upstroke Clubhead Path (1-L #15).
There's a problem here? Why do I feel like I'm talking to a
learning R2D2?
Listening . . .
