Consider this scenario. Scenario 1 depicts a golfer swinging a standard straight clubshaft. When swinging that club, one will have a small amount of forward shaft lean at impact (green blob = golf ball). The blue line represents the left arm and the red line represents the clubshaft. The first image is at P5.5 and the second image is at P7 (impact) where the left shoulder socket is higher (further away from the ground). Scenario 2 represents a club where the clubshaft is constructed in a non-straight manner - where it could have a zig-zag shape or a snake-like/spiral-type curve. How would you alter your swing mechanics/biomechanics if you were swinging that non-straight club (ignoring all effects due to variable shaft flex due to the strange shape of the clubshaft and also presuming that the clubhead/clubface alignment is not altered by the shape of the clubshaft)? Please provide explanatory reasoning in your post. Jeff.

I assume for the sake of argument, you are talking about both theoretical clubs being rigid bodies and same mass properties. If that's that case I don't think I would feel the need to change my technique at all.
My reasoning would be that the golf club hadn't really changed, so why swing different?

So what kind of conclusions can you draw from this thought experiment?
