Clubshaft orbit through the impact zone

[no_mind_golfer]

i'm trying to decide if this is interesting or not . . . . how much velocity do you think is lost due to the drag? AND . . . . do you think it is worth popping a Bonar and risk sacrificing alignment of the face due to the thing swinging around like a screen door in a tornado?

Not sure yet... I need to run some numbers but I'm building a swing simulator first where that kind of thing can be more easily and accurately modeled. Speed hence wind / drag is time varying so it must be integrated to deduce the net effect.

Can't say anymore about it at this time but I SUSPECT (opinion only) aerodynamic drag has a much bigger effect than people suspect on chs. However I wouldn't switch to a Bonar technique to investigate.... that's messing with disaster.

Why would I pretend to be stubborn, or actually be stubborn, if my opinions are not totally concordant with objective reality? Somebody could easily present a counterargument to demonstrate my errors, and what do I gain by ignoring a valid counterargument?

Feel free to interpret Yodas Luke's swing in your personal manner if you think that my personal interpretation is not totally concordant with reality.

Please don't, chbkk. The point under discussion is Clubshaft rotation about the Sweetspot (or vice versa), not Ted's swing.

Suddenly, I feel my legendary patience wearing very thin.

Jeff,

English is not my native language. I know the word stubborn has a negative connotation but I could not find another better word at the time. The nagativeness is not intended at all. I have read and followed the work in your website and you have all my respect. Insistence is probably a better word but may not be sufficiently colorful.

I have no problem with Yodasluke backswing for the sweet spot to be off the sweetspot plane for it is during a low energy stage. Yodasluke's plane maintenance is amazing to me and I will try to copy that in my never-ending swing revision.

On the downswing, the clubhead behaves exactly as predicted by Newton's Laws.

What I take from the swing is that at the vicinity of impact, the center of the centripetal pull or the center of your so called instantaneous curvature lies near pp#4 that is Yodasluke in counterbalancing the enormous dynamic weight of the clubhead with his torso or the whole body-- he must. If that is the case then, I have no qualm for pp#2 not on the sweetspot plane.
