Awesome drawings D, really.

My thoughts:

-Seeing these drawings to scale is very interesting isnt it. Homer's drawings were not to scale Im thinking for illustrative purposes maybe?

- I've wondered about playing the ball back with a wedge....6 inches back doesnt seem excessive to my mind, but without coming up prematurely that implies a 12" inch divot doesnt it. I could see that on super soft , wet soggy turf maybe but not otherwise. So do we not play it that far back, come up early or perhaps deflect out of , off the tera firma? I dunno.

-you are assuming the low point plane line to be defined by the sweetspot rather than the bottom of the club. It doesnt change your findings at all but it would illustrate the depth the clubhead would descend to beneath the ground at low point for balls played back in the stance and determine the length of divot too, I think.

-I wished you'd posted this in my thread but maybe its run it course anyways.............. here's whats bugging me. Homer in his drawing 2-C-1-3 drew the Angle of Approach as straight line from impact to separation. Separation appearing to be at low point. But in 2-J-3 he describes in words, the Angle as running from Impact to Low Point. So taking him on his words of 2-J-3, how would drawing 2-C-1-3 change if separation is back of low point, as it often is? The LOC will not be both pointing at the hole and pointing down the Arc of Approach for instance as the Arc will be out to the right. The Arc and the Angle will not intersect at Separation. What does it all mean?

We need a new 2-C-1-3 for balls back in the stance.

Great stuff D thanks
