Clubshaft orbit through the impact zone

[chbkk]

Jeff,

AJ Bonar is smiling at you.

As you are driving a tractor (hosel) pulling a heavy trailer (clubhead) along a straight road (swing path) seeing a big golf ball in the middle of the road ahead and you want to smack the golf ball with the side of the trailer. How would you do it?

1) Don't aim for the golf ball but drive straight keeping left of the road; turn sharply left the last moment.

2) Drive straight for the golf ball and turn sharply left the last moment.

I am not sure it's relevant to your thinking.

Yoda,

My last attempt
