Sweet Spot

[DDL]

Yoda has a very detailed explanation of the sweet spot and clubshaft planes in the wedges, gyroscope and aiming point thread. Here is the paste and copy:

DDL,

You have correctly observed that the Target Line lies just outside the Plane Line of the Clubshaft (as depicted in 10-5-A/B/C). However, unless otherwise noted, all TGM Plane references -- including the Plane Line -- are to the Sweet Spot Plane, not the Clubshaft Plane (2-F). And that Plane Line lies directly on the Target Line.

For many years, Homer Kelley thought in terms of the Clubshaft Plane and not the Sweet Spot Plane. But over time, he came to realize that the Sweet Spot Plane was Boss. Here's why:

1. It is the Sweet Spot that sends the messages (through the #3 Pressure Point) that enables the Player to sense and control the Clubhead Lag through Impact. This Sweet Spot is sensed only when it is in Motion (because only then does Centrifugal Force exert its Pull). Otherwise, the Player senses the dead weight of the Clubhead -- and not the pinpoint that is the Sweet Spot -- through the Shaft.

2. The Clubshaft itself does not remain on a constant Plane, nor does it maintain a constant Straight Line Baseline. Instead, it rotates around the Sweet Spot and thereby alternates between its own original Plane and the Plane of the Sweetspot.

So, embrace the Sweet Spot Plane and disregard the Clubshaft Plane. During the Downstroke, you do indeed Uncock and Roll while Tracing its Straight Line Baseline with your Right Forearm and Right Forefinger #3 Pressure Point (12-3 Sections 6 and 9/10/11).

This is the correct application of the Third Imperative (2-0)...a link in the chain of destiny leading you to your best golf.
