Hm, well, what I mean is practically that I end up too close to the body and I can't put power into my swing - when I swing 7-1 like you explained. Like I get stuck behind my own body and then I block the shot to the right instead, see what I mean? Hmm

Thanks for the feedback!

Yes, I have gone from a hook to a slice. I usually start the ball straight and then it curves, so F looks about right. Not entirely sure of how to push the club out to the right. I mean, I can do that if I take a stance where the ball is further away. I usually lose the slice but it feels (looks?) kinda awkward.

Sounds like you are standing too close to the ball then. Send a picture or video of that stance you mentioned where the ball is further away. Of course it will feel awkward, but thats just because its something you aren't used to.

OK! Will do. Since I hardly rolled my forearms to get the longer swing before I think that I may experience some issues with not closing correctly due to the fact that I'm not used to it and therefore unaware of how much I need to roll them back. I'll get back..

      Wow, @DeadMan that is such a helpful breakdown of what’s around. Really excited to check a bunch of these out. Thank you. Will definitely go to Walnut Creek. Will also try and get a commonground tee time. Haven’t played many Doak courses yet! If your schedule frees up, let me know!

      Yeah. I'm not sure what Vishal is really talking about with the "constrained" COM. The club's COM doesn't really change much. Less than the body's does… We definitely apply force to the golf club to move it both translationally (linear force) and rotationally (torque) to the golf club. That's what Manzella's alpha/beta/gamma is all about. Even before they switched the reference frame from the global to the club-based one. 😉

      Any time you apply a force to an object that is not directly through the COM, you're applying a torque. Take a car for example. If a car is moving and you hit the brakes, the only contact point is on the ground. The brakes make the tires slow down which applies a force backwards at ground level. Since that force is not applied directly to the COM, it also applies a torque, which makes the car rotate forwards. The suspension at the front applies another torque upwards to fight against that twist (because the ground is in the way). You can feel the front end of the car dip when you brake. Then, when you stop braking and that force is no longer applied, the tires stop applying that torque to the car and the car feels like it rocks backwards as the suspension evens itself out. That's all torques being applied. Ignoring the twist forces applied to the club leaves you way short of being able to describe the motion. Otherwise the orientation of the club would never change.

      I think you're getting into the coupling point or the couple of the hands, but that's a different ball of wax.
