I had similar questions myself. To add to the discussion, if vertical hinging requires a sqare face at fix with its layback only motion, why would angled hinging require a "closed" face at fix with its closing AND layback motion? Is the argument that vertical hinging is only used for short shots, and hence, the slicing tendency in neglible? Patrick and Jaminid, Just got back and wanted to put this up: 1. It is not the Clubface Layback of Angled Hinging that requires the Closed Clubface at Fix. It is its uncentered Motion. 2. Unlike Angled Hinging, Horizontal and Vertical Hinging are 'centered' motions. Hence, neither has a built-in Slice tendency. __________________ Yoda Yoda View Public Profile Send a private message to Yoda Visit Yoda's homepage! Find all posts by Yoda
