Positive AoA and Path

Is it possible to aim your body parallel left of the target line, hit up with a driver (>3*) and have the club path be straight or to the right of the target line? If so, what manipulations must be made to counter the positive attack angle causing the path to want to be left?

Increase axis tilt from P4 to P7. That should push the path out to the right. It's hard for me to do without really pulling my head rearward, not that that's such a horrible thing if you're hitting a ball off a tee.

Cloran -

Thanks. My herniated disc constricts my movements. My back doesn't like being tilted and twisted. Ram rod straight is what I now have. I'll fool around on Trackman and see what happens.

I am on the correct thread and Brian's statements are universal to all topic threads. I was just questioning your reasoning.

Now we learn that you have a herniated disc to boot!!! So now we know you are a lawyer according to your personal profile, with a 285 yard carry drive per your Trackman data screen shot!!!

I wonder how far you could hit it without a crapped up back and faulty D-plane swing mechanics...??!!!!

Btw... a "ram rod straight" back is anatomically incorrect for the golfswing... it should be a gentle S-shaped spinal posture with your butt out... and change to a C-shaped orientation when clearing the hips and into impact.... can you do that?

Perhaps you direct us to your youtube swing video, because I want to behold it....:eek:

I guess I should be a mind reader when I read your posts. You pull a quote from Brian from a different thread on a completely different topic and assume that I should know what you're talking about. My post has nothing to do with video and Brian was talking about video and attack angle in his posts.

Where are my faulty D plance mechaincs? I can zero it out by changing my alignment. That isn't faulty at all. I asked about zeroing it out without changing my alignment and aiming parallel left.

I could care less if "ram rod straight" isn't anatomically correct. I know my back curves. You have a very bad habit of reading things into an email and not understanding context.

When are you going to post your swing? When are you going to post some impact data? I bitch slapped you last time with mine.

I don't consistently carry the ball 285, more like 260-270 on average. There are plenty of people who hit it by me and if you played tournament golf you would quickly realize that 290-300 is just average distance, nowhere near above average. I don't clame to be a big hitter, but compared to you I probably am. Sorry.

My guess, you would need a seriously rerouted downswing with a handle dragged inside-out upper cut with a marginally open club face.

Sounds like a lot of work.

Thanks E. I'll stick with changing my alignment (but according to SteveT that must be faulty D plane mechaincs. I know he didn't say that, but if he can make stuff up and post threads that have nothing to do with my question, why can't I infer what I think he would say even if I'm wrong???? He does it all the time).

Okay, let's get serious here.... you, cdw law, want to change your AoA and D-plane results. Also you have a herniated disc in your spinal column. Btw, can you tell us which disc is herniated? My guess it's either T-12 or L-1, a common stress location.

It's was noted that LD competitors were so fast in their downswing that their rear leg was still highly loaded and only after impact did they catch themselves on their lead leg. This is quite comprehensible, and it's not a true reverse pivot.

Could you try this downswing manoever to determine if your TM D-plane numbers move in the desired direction? I know it's a tad extreme, but with your very high speed swing, you may discover the anatomical quirks of your body... and it may even take the stress off your chronic spinal problem... for which you certainly don't want to go acute... ouch!

My D plane results are just fine. I wouldn't mind hitting up to start driving the ball 310+ on a more consistent basis. Tradeoffs everywhere. 290 in the fairway or rough is fine with me even if my spin is 3,300. At some point you have to accept imperfections and play with what you have. 20 extra yards isn't worth it if my path and face go crazy which they do if I start hitting up too much.

You shoud post like Ekennedy. He answered the question. Nothing more, nothing less.
