If the sweetspot plane and the shaft plane coincide when the club is turned to the inclined plane, then this would imply that the shaft should be pointing at the plane line on the ground that runs through ball center. However, when I try doing this with a half swing (like acquired motion), it feels very awkward to me. I think that the "sweetspot plane" and "shaft plane" only appear the same from down the line view once sweetspot rotated to plane. Hitters, who tend towards single wrist action. do not turn their sweetspot to inclined shaft plane in acquired motion - clubhead "feels closed"... Many pro swingers turn sweetspot, or sweetspot is turned, later in swing ...more into total motion... you may feel an early turn to plane as "unusual" for you.... lag pressure will be easier to feel with a "point mass" at end of dowel, i think... golfbulldog View Public Profile Send a private message to golfbulldog Find all posts by golfbulldog
