thanks for the response... i think if you do a stop action on tiger
woods and others, the shaft is leaning forward on the driver. and that
tells me it's still going down. i guess you could make some topspin
argument ala tennis, where the hands are going up but the clubface is
still closed. you could probably slow-speed that too, but i haven't
seen that. ....... i think they both agree on any fairway shot.

and sorry dave. i read your explanation further and it was good....
but i think that the shaft angle trumps almost everything else. and
you can certainly observe the shart angle quite clearly..... i should
post a link. i'll have to find one. (and of course, tiger isn't
necessarily proof of everything related to golf)

What you've got here is two separate axes of rotation. One is somewhere
around your sternum (arm/shoulder motion) and the other is around your hands
(release). A forward leaning shaft implies hands ahead of the ball (clubhead
moving down). But the sternum is well behind the ball (things moving up).

Take a look at this pic

It doesn't take a whole lot of imagination to think that David Toms is
sweeping the ball off the tee despite a forward leaning shaft.
