Practice Swing and Waggle should be over the top of the Ball to establish the inside-out Angle of Approach, or step back.
If you elect to do your Practice Stroke over the top of the Ball how should you go about to avoid hitting the Ball?
STEP BACK find a plane line that is parallel if not, raise out of your knee flex slightly to waggle over and through, not at the ball
