[O.B.Left]

O.B.,

Your interpretation-explanation, and my drawings - match. If you don't think so, then please explain.

Is this drawing easier to understand?

I believe this is keerect. (Assuming you rotated the whole machine in that last drawing, what Homer refers to as a "Rotated Plane Line "....it certainly appears that way to me as I look that third drawing. Not to be confused with a mere change in foot line or some such thing.)

This is an illustration of how a True Swinger would need to Rotate his Plane Line to square his Clubface for balls positioned forward of Low Point given that he hasnt Rotated his Grip. A Draw resulting as True Swinging assumes no compensational Hand Manipulation to offset the draw alignments, Divergence in Path and Face during the swing. CF alone will square the face during the swing (CF naturally creates Horizontal Hinging without any manipulation by the hands). These are the "passive hands" of golf literature taken to their logical extreme.....with some accompanying passive arms too I believe although Im still thinking the True Swinger could employ Extensor Action it being a non accelerating thrust of the right arm. Not sure .. life line .....anybody?

D, would you care to try the manipulated hands Swinger / Hitter version......which I believe Doctor Sandridge is perhaps referring to? The Rotated Grip version in other words .....where the face is squared to the target via "manipulation" as opposed to CF alone. (As I interpret Homer anyways).

How bout an iron played back in the stance with and without Grip Rotation.

As a side note the thing that really troubled me when I first read 7-2 was that there seemed to be two sets of physics, impact geometry laws .........one for true swinger , one for hitter. But I read it wrong of course. There is but one sets of laws, natural and universal and as I believe Ben Doyle says "either you're lawful or you're awful".

(Was I correct in thinking that's Ben Doyle's line David? I figure you'll know having had lessons with Misters Doyle , Sloan , Tomassello , McHatton, Blake etc.......thats the entire group from the "pioneer" first GSEM class with Homer and a couple of bright lights from Lynn's GSEM class...... as some of you guys who keep track of such things will notice).
