2-J-2,

I have had the pleasure of working with Yoda and YodasLuke on this, and welcome any comments. Since my visit (2 weeks ago), I have been working to get on plane (dowels, flashlights, impact bag). I have taken some video, and ,while I am more on plane, when I am hitting full shots (and hitting them well) my divots are still slightly left of the target (ball flight straight, ball goes slightly left of target). I noticed that in the last paragraph of 2-J-2 it reads "Don't hesitate to change your stance Line - for physical or psychological reasons or for the situation at hand.... And your apparently Outside-In Impacts may actually be fine Pull Shots."

My question(s) are these:

What does he (Homer) mean?

Is it possible to perform TGM correctly, and still hit this type of shot?

What I mean, is, is it possible that I just need to setup a little right of my target?

Any and all comments are welcome,

Thanks,

A good shot can be hit with any stance line, provided the club swings on plane, with lag pressure and good clubface alignment.

So you 'can' stand with your feet open, closed to almost any degree, and still hit good shots. That said, it is the shoulder line that tends to have the greatest effect on plane, so always pay attention to the shoulders.

Snead setup a bit closed and pulled it, Trevino open and pushed it.

One of my teamates in high school used to setup well open, and yet still hit a wide sweeping draw. An excellent 'swinger' of the club.

It is generally best though, not to go to extremes without the eye of a good teacher helping you decide what will work best for you in the long run.
