[Note that the Clubhead will refuse to fall in an Inclined Plane to a position directly behind the Ball.]
The degree to which the Ball is located off the toe of the Soled ClubHead is determined mechanically by the distance the Impact ClubFace must fall in relation to the Ball, whether Teed or on the Ground.

I am revisiting Homer's classics as told by Lynn T. Blake AKA "Yoda." The serendipitous simplicity!
