This is Jason Zubacks' secondary axis tilt and head position at impact.
Jeff.
Jeff,
Would you please read those 12 sections of the golfing machine esp. the impact and follow-through alignment and see what is the following pictures and yours refering to...(pay attentiont to the Impact hands in the first picture)

If you cannot take the shoulder down the clubshaft plane, you must take along some other path and add compensations - now, instead of one motion to remember, you wind up with at least two!
here is what this very educated golfer deliberately said: ". . . the ball struck on the upswing, the ball teed high and inside the base of the plane."
In other words, with the Ball properly teed post-Low Point, there is no need to 'hit up'. The Clubhead Orbit (2-N-0) goes DOWN (and OUT) to Low Point and then it moves UP (and IN). Hence, O.B.'s observation that the Ball must be "teed high and inside the base of the plane". So, for those who understand and implement these Geometric Basics . . . Just swing. The resulting Upstroke is God's Plan.
Thanks Yoda
You know it's really your own words and Mr Kelley's that are coming back at you all garbled up.
Hope you didnt read my post 88 where I threw it all away like a Sunday afternoon hacker. Dont think that stuff is in the book and probably has HK tossing in his grave. I blame Daryl and Golfgnome.
Yoda - you wrote-: "You interpret this Shaft Bend as "Kick" that Lays Back the Clubface. The truth is that Shaft Bend itself supplies neither 'Kick' nor 'LayBack'."
I don't understand your statement in the context of this photo.
Jamie's clubshaft looks like it has bent forward so that the peripheral end is closer to the target than the central end. Do you believe that this phenomenon is not really happening" If it is really happening, why would it not cause clubface layback?
Also, take a look at Jamie's forearm muscles. Very wimpy for the world's best long drive swinger I would think. I had a conversation with Jason Zuback and I asked him whether he used his right forearm/arm actively in his swing as a major source of power. He said that he didn't, and that he didn't feel that he was using any right arm power in his swing.
As an avid little-leaguer, I knew a lot about him. I first read his name at age eleven in The Stars And Stripes, the American newspaper for military personnel (read, my father and us) stationed overseas. Little known to me, Bob was already retired, and his legend was in full bloom. Curious, I checked out his biography from the library at The American School On the Rhine and learned that he was an American Indian who threw the fast ball faster than anybody ever. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listi...condition=used
Wow . . . what a story! I loved that book and read it a million times. I even carried it with me to school!
Fast forward twenty years . . .
At age 31, I met him personally one evening at a 1977 financial conference in Toronto where he represented one of the sponsors. There, he was at first diplomatic and then amused. But, when I looked him straight in the eye and quoted his stats:
Where was I?
Oh, yes . . .
Bob's left leg came down as his right arm swung back . . . and then he "let'er go!"

Uh . . . Jeff . . .
The noted bend -- produced by the Sweetspot striving to maintain its in-line condition with the #3 Pressure Point -- is exactly what I rerferenced in my Post #90 above. I know you can -- and need! -- to draw that line, so please do, for the benefit of all.
However, in the interest of future discourse, PLEASE try to connect the dots of prior posts.
Thank you.

Regarding Clubshaft "kick" producing Clubface Lay Back . . .
Please.
The Left Wrist (vertical to one of the three Associated Planes) controls the Clubface . . . not the Clubshaft 'kick'.
