1. Where's the center of swing arc in relation to your heels or toes?

2. Is the center of swing arc also the bottom of your swing?

1. Where's the center of swing arc in relation to your heels or toes?

I would say that it tends to be just about at the lead armpit (left armpit for a righty). But sequencing, where your weight is, how well you maintain (or release) the flying wedge, etc. are all factors. Very generally, left armpit or so for a guy with a fairly normal swing.

2. Is the center of swing arc also the bottom of your swing?

Within reason, yes. You can change the arc by manipulating things like losing the flying wedge or pulling your elbows apart, but if they remain constant then, generally, yes.

    • I have had the flu recently which gave me plenty of time to pore over Joseph Mayo’s instagram. I have hit a ton of shots each day on carpet and a little started how easy this shot is to make. Key thought for me is bring the club “no closer to the earth.” That really resonated with me. If I really steepen the attack angle I can hit my 58* lob wedge barely an inch or two off the ground and a repeatable distance. I don’t recommend this but tried it to what the end ranges are for angle of descent. I actually think a 62*-64* wedge might be even better for this shot.

    • Day 306 - More of the same focus, grip and backswing. Used the Divot Board to see how group contact was, and as expected, half the time I wasn't even making contact with the board.
