Great topic fellows. Homer basically said that all strokes
were the same. For overspin, he illustrated the impact above
the center of the ball with reverse loft. There is a big
question at weather the shaft was leaning forward or weather
he was using a putter with reverse loft. Anyway I guess this
brings up the question of, should you impact the ball above
the equator and go to the lower pont.. Some on the forum
suggest playing the ball forward of low point and impact above
low point which suggest deaccelation and less compression.
Bobby Locke suggest this method in saying that the club should
reach the ball before the hands. How about fail? After the
head of the clubhead passes the handle the the clubhead works
back to the handled causing deacceleration. Homer did suggest
impacting the ball at LOW POINT AND ABOVE THE CENTER OF THE
BALL. How can you do this and still go to the second plane
line down and in front to the first plane line? The same old
question, should you impact above the ball and then go to
to the second plane line forward and down from the first
plane line? In a conversation with Lynn, Homer said that
Lynn could move the ball back in his stance, using a bullseye
putter, but this suggest a shaft leaning forward. From the
literal words of Homer, pg 74, Transfer power, the swinger
can use A "REVERSE LOFTED" PUTTER for a precision "LOW POINT"
IMPACT - really a very accurate and simple procedure. If a
putter is on the gound a impact with reverse loft, the putter
actuall impacts the ball above center. This suggest that if
the ball was placed at low point, the second plane line could
be obtained without having to lean the putter forward providing
that the putter had reversed loft build in to in. Maybe this
discussion sould be in the putting section, but we are talking
about the low point plane line. I guess the overall question.
is what about the low point plane line for putting?
