OK so maybe I read the question backwards? Your accent must have thrown me off.

Not yet....
But right now....the math says about 50% of the right leaners have "hit the line" trouble.
I think that is high....but....

At the typical public range, it will vary from 10 to 20% depending upon the time of day.

Of 100 golfers at the range I go to, one might be able to make a divot in front of the ball (probably 10% of the 10% that can shape up that backswing), but there seems to be some pretty funky teaching going on in Asia.
I'd be interested to know why the people that are making a good pivot can't commit to making a divot in front of that line and I am hoping this is where this discussion is taking us.

I'd say about 10%, they are the over leaners.

Well using myself as an example, I get the right leaning torso and weightshift, but I don't always get the low-point correct. I imagine there are a lot of players like me. I'd say 60%.

70% cannot consistently make a divot in front of the ball..
BTW, if this is Jeopardy, do I get a car or something for the right answer?

And now....
Ok....
The votes for question #2 are in, here is what he have come up with from the survey:
30% of golfers nationwide, lean their torsos to the right at the top of the swing and have some rightward weight shift as well.
and...
60% of that group of right leaning right shifters, nationwide, have contact problems, can't make a divot in front of the ball—can't hit the line—have a low point too far back.
That gives us this numbers with a little simple math:
18% of of golfers nationwide who are right leaning right shifters, have contact problems, can't make a divot in front of the ball—can't hit the line—have a low point too far back.
Personally, I think that number is very high, but math is math.
Next set of questions:
QUESTION #3
What percentage of golfers nationwide (random golfers at a busy range, whatever you want to sample, just make sure it is a cross-section of every level, age, and gender of golfer in the USA—heck, or the world) have left leaning backswings, and make a motion that 10 years ago would have been called a reverse pivot??

Question #1 2.5%
Question #2 90 %
The other 7.5 have no lean no pivot all arms and over acceleration.
Golfers are much worse than anyone can possibly imagine(I dont mean ability, I mean what they actually do, or are trying to do) and I think we give them too much credit!

I don't know the percentages but those backswings are the scariest thing I've seen since Javier Bardem in "No Country for Old Men."

Well I got question 2 right.
So I'll go for 50% on #3.
