- Hands higher at impact than they were at address - Clubshaft on a steeper plane that at address
Therefore, there's really nothing wrong with this. I'm sure others here can tell you why for certain, and also tell you why it happens.
I'm not sure, so I'll let them handle the explaining.
I hear you, Robot Buddy R2D2!
Due to the Shoulder Turn Axis Tilt, i.e., the tilt of the Spine producedby the Hip Turn Component (7-14), the Left Shoulder is higher at Impact (per7-8 ) than at Adjusted Address (8-3). This raising of the Left Shoulder alsoresults in the higher Hands you have observed. Both the higher Shoulder and thehigher Hands are almost always subconscious reactions that have never beensubject to any conscious Geometric Programming. However, astute students ofG.O.L.F. can avoid this compensated circumstance by positioning properlyfor the correct Shoulder-to-Ball distance at Impact Fix (8-2 and 7-8 ) per theprecision address routine of 2-J-1.
The steeper Plane phenomenon occurs because, while the Clubshaft must start itsjourney on its own Angle of Inclination -- the Elbow Plane (10-6-A) -- it isnot unusual for a player to use a totally different Inclined Plane during theDownstroke (and probably the Backstroke as well).
For example, the player may choose to begin the Stroke on the Elbow Plane andthen use the Single Shift (10-7-B) to locate the Turned Shoulder Plane (10-6-B)at the Top (8-6). The player could then use the Double Shift (10-7-C) to returnto the original Elbow Plane for Impact or alternatively, remain on the TurnedShoulder Plane. The first option would result in the same Plane at Impact as atAddress. The second would be the steeper Plane you have observed.
