Hooks And Slices: Effect of Ball Location

Just remember everybody, that the 'Ball back to Fade and forward to Hook' applies to True Swingers only. That is, those who allow Centrifugal Force to align both the Clubshaft and the Clubface. With the Ball located back of a given Club's Centrifugal Straightaway Point, the Clubface has not yet had time to close sufficiently to Square the Face at Separation. Hence, the Fade.

Conversely, Manipulated Hands Swingers allow Centrifugal Force to align only the Clubshaft. Clubface alignments are established at Fix with the Left Wrist Flat and the Clubface aligned to the Target Line per 2-J-1. They then return to those alignments at Impact, regardless of the Straightaway Ball Location built into the Club. Under such conditions, the Swinger experiences the same Ball Response as the Hitter, i.e., 'Ball back to Hook and Ball forward to Fade'.
