[O.B.Left]

This is the same shot, but on one video I marked the travel of the Sweet Spot. On the other, I used a Plane Angle. I thought the geometry and camera location were good enough for conversation.

For someone that doesn't swing left, he has made some coin. His stroke is one of my personal favorites because of it's simplicity.

What do you think?

So in one you've got a Plane Line drawn for Club Shaft Plane of motion considerations with the camera seemingly set up pretty well all things considered. Situation normal we see this all the time right. You'd normally tend to think that he looped it under plane. But those guys can hit it with their feet and bodies pointed any which way, right.

So where's he pointing his plane line really? Is that what you mean, Luke? Dont judge a book by looking at its foot line or stance? Those inclined plane lines are subject to parallax and further more we dont really know what he is trying to do and we shouldnt make any assumptions given his setup, foot line in particular.

Second one is Sweetspot plane of motion only which shows a nice little 2D ish circle seen in perspective ...which means that circle has a plane and a plane line which appears to point right to some degree. If it points far enough right of where the ball started you've got Divergence, tilted backspin and a draw.

Hmmm. That sweetspot orbit is more telling isnt it! The path of the sweetspot vs face angle is what its really all about I guess right? Well Ill be. In the photo below his shaft even appears to be planed to the sweetspot orbit far better than the assumed plane line . I gotta do some more thinking on this.

Or maybe Im all wrong again and Stricker just totally pooched that shot. Where'd it end up anyways, Luke.
