You're the hinge action guy, so I'll defer. I'm rifling through the files here to catch up. I think in terms of face and path.
HB
Ball spins because of divergence right? So path slightly across target line and clubface square to target line at separation?
You may have much more detailed info on this . . . but I read that the face has much more weight with regards to the direction equation than the path like 75 to 80%? I'm still sorting all that out.
