so, with a non-zero no.3, your extending inside targetline but, by how much? how do you know when to say when?
so im no longer tracing the planeline with the laser?
It is important not to confuse the 'shaft' with the 'plane of motion'.
See 2-F and the recent thread re: longitudinal center of gravity.
from 2-F - "So there is a "Sweet Spot", or "Swing", Plane. But herein, unless otherwise noted, "Plane Angle" and "Plane Line" always refer to the Center of Gravity application"

For practical purposes, the stretch is 'extending your left arm with your right' directly toward the ground in the direction it is pointing when viewed from down the target line at impact fix.
Put another way, if you draw a line from the butt of the club up the underside of your left arm, you want to stretch your left arm down that plane. It can be very useful to think in terms of this "under the arms at address" line/plane.
See the drills section, the 'variation on table top drill' at the bottom to give you a clearer picture of what I mean:
english please...hehe
i'll check it out, but i'd like an answer to my question.
PD, Where is the laser? End of grip or pp3,the index finger?
If the laser is on the third pressure point, than you still will be tracing the straight plane line. The path of the hands (straight) is not the path of the clubhead (orbit).
A swivel will take the clubhead up and to the inside but the pp3 laser is still on the plane line- this is always where the laser on the grip would pick up the plane line. Homer said to use the pp3 index finger like a flashlight and trace with it.
so is the laser the same as the flashlight? laser is in butt of club and on shaft towards sweetspot. So if flashlight is rightforearm-pp3, what am i looking for? this is gettting deep...lol
Lets stay simple here. Most lasers are in the grip (Harmon’s has a grip and a shaft laser light- I never used one- bad idea since the clubhead doesn't travel that path- this is a hand path). The grip end laser only works after take-away when the clubhead goes up and the grip end faces the plane line and as the grip is pulled down on the down stroke. (The plane line-just in case- is the straight line on the ground that attaches to the incline plane like a gutter to a roof). If you use a hand held flashlight (or small laser beam), you can now point to the plane light at address, trace it on the take-away and re-trace it on the down stroke. And this is the same arm movement you feel during the stroke.
When it is held in the hand- it is pp#3 you are pointing and the right forearm you feel moving on plane. Get a small mag lite and drive you loved ones crazy.
6b thanks, that is how i see it, but so far, Ed seems to be saying that extensor action does not comply with the same gutter...ED, to mikes gutter, how does your extensor action gutter look like?
