Here is a response to a Private Message that I thought could serve in this thread.

Lynn...I've been thinking lately...

If Low Point naturally occurs at Left Shoulder, what happens when a player strikes a ball in the middle of their stance....taking a divot before Low Point? What's happening there to change the Low Point? What's causing that?

The geometrically-carved Divot is taken because the Club is descending correctly Down Plane to Low Point, not because there is a new Low Point. With the non-teed Ball (and with many teed Balls) positioned back in the Stance (Up Plane), Low Point is always in the ground.

If the Club does not descend all the way to Low Point, it is usually because the Left Wrist has Bent. When this happens, the Club immediately ascends, and the player has thus established a new Low Point (opposite the Bending Left Wrist, not the Left Shoulder). This mechanical disruption destroys the Clubhead's true Three Dimensional Orbit (Down, Out and Forward) and, unless intentional, will result in less than optimal results.
