still means you will hit it earlier in the arc !!
Driver / Fairway address the ball or Centre of Stance

No!!
You are thinking about it the wrong way. Think about impact position.
My club face is squared earlier in my turn and my impact position is earlier because I am not as flexible as you are.
I still tee the ball the normal height and still hit it on the up.
If you can't turn your body as fast as your arms swing then the ball being forward means your shoulders will be turned to the left and therefore you cut across the ball or pull it.
If you try putting your ball just outside your stance and hit a few balls to see what its like and that's how your current ball position would be for me.
I hope that makes sense. Easier to show than to write it.

Doesn't Freddie Couples have a similar start position for the club head with his driver?

Lets think about this:
A ball struck before the club bottoms is hit in to out.
A ball struck after the club has bottomed out is struck out to in.

So why try and play the play the driver on the up swing
Or is it the balls position related to the low point of the swing?

You mean like a door opening and closing?

Had look at this video. This is exactly what Nick Faldo advises on his video on the Trackman site so that you hit the ball on the up reducing the spin rate, giving better launch more carry and roll. Take a look on the Trackman site. http://trackman.dk/Media/Videos/Nick-Faldo.aspx

Kind of Bob. What I mean is when the clubhead is approaching the low point on an arc it is swinging from the inside (or should be) and moving out towards the ball. If the ball is placed before the low point and the clubface is square to the path the ball when struck will be pushed out to the right, if the clubface was a little closed to path the ball would tend to get draw spin. If the clubface was open it would put fade spin on it.
If the ball was placed after the low point the opposite effects would apply.

The only problem is, when the door swings open and closed, it has a fixed hinge.....to the door frame so the inside of the arc doesnt move.
In the golf swing, the inside of the arc does move

Yes, I agree with that. It does not change what I said though.

I agree SocketRocket.. with the proviso that the 'hinge' moves laterally towards the intended target.
This could be another one of those 'tricks'. :clap:
