OUT at the ball !
Last night I rewatched two videos from Tom Tomasello: Arms, and alignments.

He defines up, back, in, down, out, and forward. I was thinking about these terms in relation to my body. He explains them as being relative to the plane line.

I have been thinking about the golf swing in terms of 3 dimensions. Multi variable calculus comes to mind. I only took Calc 1 and 2 in college, but calc 3 adds the Z-axis. Everybody should remember taking the area on the x and y axis. Well, calculus is concerned with taking the area under a curve. Calc 3 takes the area of 3 dimensional shapes (I think). There is actually a thread in the Lab, oh it is from Mathew about spheres. I found that very interesting and plan on rereading it soon. Does this concept of 'spheres' tie in with down, out and forward ?

I would really like to make some 3D drawings and get somebody from my graphics department to create them on the computer. It would take away all imagination and visualization and clearly show all the lines that Mathew is talking about. And maybe...all the geometry that The Golfing Machine uses to create, sustain, and orient linear force.

If this has already been done I would really like to see some pics. I saw some that were very similar a few weeks ago, but not 3D. They were from two different perspectives and showed impact and low point nicely in relation to the left shoulder.
