An analogue analogy.

Look at your watch and observe the second hand sweeping around the perimeter of the face. See your clubhead on its downward travel.

Imagine the figure 6 as the low point of the swing arc - which will be at the outside edge of your left shoulder. See the second hand - clubhead - approach the figure 6 and watch its downward (club swing) arc of descent.

You need to contact the ball at one minute prior to the figure 6 and continue driving down - but effectively swinging up - beyond the one minute past 6 mark.

Dial in your swing.
