basic question

[shootin4par]

ok, I believe the low point of the golf swing is supposed to be below the leading arm pit. so if we have two players with all things being pretty equal expcept player A has more second axis tilt then player B, will player A's low point be further up?

Low.

Axis tilt has nothing to do with it.

With a flat left wrist, and a straight left arm, it will be even with the outside of the left shoulder.

The low point won't change, no. It is always in the same place. But if you have too much tilt you will not be able to reach it.

Depends...

If you tilt by making the head go back, you might have a problem.

If you open your hips a buncha s you tilt aq bunch and get 'on the left hip,
you can tilt a LOT a be fine.

Low point will change if you bend or arch your left wrist.

so how would one go about finding the correct ball position for the driver?

Although Low Point is always below the Left Shoulder, more Axis Tilt tends to move the Left Shoulder back making Low Point further back also.

Go to Impact Fix and place ball very slightly before Left Shoulder (no more than one inch). With flat left wrist...obviously.

what do you mean by before left shoulder, would that be outside of the left shoulder or inside of it?

Inside.

so how would one go about finding the correct ball position for the driver?

With your shoulders parallel to your target line, and your left arm extended out towards the ball at right angles to your shoulder line, ground the driver on the target side of the ball. Then settle into your stance before bringing the clubhead back and over the ball, grounding it in a position that should now be just inside your left armpit.

Pull the pin and watch her fly!
