Remember though that this is when the Left Wrist is Flat. When the Left Wrist Bends or Arches, the Left Wrist becomes both Fulcrum and Low Point.
This whole discussion also highlights the importance of the Stationary Head, because as the Head moves laterally, the Left Shoulder, and thus Low Point move with it. So if your Head at Impact is behind its Impact Fix position, both your Left Shoulder and Low Point will be behind their Impact Fix position (if you have a Flat or Bent Left Wrist). This can cause all sorts of trouble, quite often resulting in a Bent Plane Line which causes divots to go to the left of the Plane Line, and in turn, Steering/"chicken winging".
One way to compensate for a Head and Left Shoulder that are behind their Fix positions at Impact is to Arch the Left Wrist. Again, by Arching the Left Wrist, the Left Wrist becomes the Fulcrum, and the Low Point moves ahead of the Left Shoulder. Hopefully, the new
Impact Low Point of the Arched Left Wrist is the same as the old
Impact Fix Low Point of the Flat Left Wrist and Left Shoulder.
