Last night when I couldn't sleep at 3:00 am.
2-J-1.IMPACT ALIGNMENTS 2nd para...
'...A geometrically proper procedure is to establish the correct radius with the Clubhead raised to the desired Impact relationship. Then maintain the center of the arc - that is, Left Shoulder - as now established, and hold the Hands at the height and angle now established, then let the Club swing down from the Wrist to rest on the ground. Now apply Extensor Action (6-B-1-D) to stretch the left arm and get as "far away from the ball as possible." (Without disturbing any of the Fix alignments) So - "Soled," the ball is toward the Toe of the Clubface, but "on centre" for Impact. All this is the geometry for a clean pick-off.
I got two KZG maraging face 3 & 5 woods today with stiff shafts, and I was hitting them off mats tonight, getting as "far away from the ball as possible." (my emphasis) and was hitting them 240 & 260 solid, and much more centred on the face, than is my usual custom.
There is a tendency, currently, in all that false instruction to get us to stand as close to the ball as possible. Arms hanging straight down etc etc.
I'm interested to hear of other experiences of the use of this piece of instruction from Mr Kelley.
