Hi All
Considering that there is forward shaft bend and clubhead droop going into impact , doesn't this mean that your setup and ball position must somehow match your dynamic swing?
For example , lots of golf instruction say ball position 'this or that' in your stance depending on club and whether you want to hit a draw/fade/low /high trajectories , etc . But there is no way you can tell how much forward shaft bend or clubhead droop is going to occur in advance of your actual dynamic swing to meet your intent.
The only way (imho) is to conduct full practice swings to a target or intermediate target, get a sense of the clubface orientation in space through the impact zone area and make a judgement of where the ball needs to be in that clubface path to meet your intent (ie. high/low/fade/draw, etc). Everything is really about judgement about how the clubface and ball will interact to achieve your desired task. And you can only improve by seeing the results and tweaking things so that your judgement of ball position (to fit your dynamic swing intent) becomes more precise.
It seems a fallacy to habitually create a 'static' setup routine around some predefined ball position. It should be the other way around , put the ball in the way of your dynamic swing.
