Slice 'O Day, you're probably noticing a slightly different take on things around here than you are maybe reading in those other places. Your still bent right arm, your flat shoulder turn in Finish, versus the accent on radius, extension, plane line. If those things are by design that is. That first picture of Hogan is great eh? Thats what I want be like when I grow up.
I see the inside move after impact that I think Bucket is referring to as well. Your club shaft not pointing down the plane line, your arms not extending.
Not saying this is you but here is a common set of unfortunate events that can befall the guys who bend their plane line to the left:
-given a square clubface at separation they get a cut.
-the cut begets a subconscious flip which closes down the clubface and produces a straight shot but to the left, a pull. And weak one.
-which is fixed consciously (with the plane line) or , more often, subconsciously, by aiming out to right field. Leaving the guy with a sometimes straight but always weak shot courtesy of a mess of compensations.
Think of it in terms of the balls flight being the product of different forms of Thrust with different associated directional Vectors. In the ideal theses vectors though different are more focused. That is the best we can hope for. Compensations however de focus the vectors with ball flight ramifications.
Every golfer is subject to compensations similar to the above in some manner or other. The solution is to recognize what is required geometrically , where you comply and where you dont and then set about fixing them. Its always a guided journey as you need a second set of educated eyes. Quite frankly we just dont see or feel some of the wacky stuff we are up to. It sounds like a difficult diagnostic to make but in this regard Homer would probably point out something like:
"Well, the Plane Line governs the ClubHEAD line of flight and the ClubFACE governs the balls line of flight".
So fix your plane line compliance (clubshaft), your HInge Action (clubface) and given proper Rhythm (clubhead) you'll be hitting bullets in no time. You'll notice that everything in brackets put together comprises the entire golf club. So total control of those three items will give you total control of the golf club. Total control of the golf club will give you total control of the golf ball.
