Is there an "ideal" amount of #3 angle? If so, how is it determined?
If you take it to two (theoretical) extremes: a zeroed out #3 angle would give you a maximum left shoulder to clubhead radius, while a maximum #3 angle (clubshaft at nearly a 90 degree angle to forearm) would give the greatest range of motion, but it seems neither would result in the highest possible clubhead speed. (Disclaimer: As a pre-caffeine observation this morning, this seems correct, but please correct if wrong.)
This post is intended for Brian/instructors first, but Mandrin, if you're out there...
