Left Foot turned out ...restricted in the backstroke....freer in the Follow-Through.....It also affects the amount of 2nd Axis Tilt (Side Bend....In case you're wondering 1st Axis Tilt is a Forward Bend) through the Downstroke and Follow-Through. The more the foot flare the less 2nd Tilt and a perhaps a lower launch angle ....The less foot flare with a wider stance the more 2nd Axis Tilt with a higher overtaking rate of the components may produce a higher launch angle.....Foot Flare affects the entire machine!!!! Elkington sets-up this way with an intended ball flight in mind!!!! I know this because one of my dearest friends is currently working with Steve Elkington and Greg Norman. I can see clearly now...The rain is gone!!! or is it the FOG is lifting!!!!
