Those are fantastic drawings Daryl. But Im not sure about the "fade" and "draw" in the first one. I know your coming from a True Swinging perspective , but the face angles seem wrong to me. The fade looks like a push fade to me........my head hurts...
Per 1-L-17 the ball leaves at right angles to the clubface at Separation. Side spin coming from any divergence in the clubhead path to the clubface angle.
The opposite of the old ball flight rules but now confirmed by Trackman.......which casts a peculiar light on a lot of past champion's own instruction books. Homer was adamant that they couldnt have actually done what they were teaching. A belief that didnt go over too well with his listeners but he insisted. And we now know he was right. To think that some of golfs greatest champions were manipulating the clubhead path and face angle perhaps subconsciously, in the direct opposite manner than that to which they subscribed theoretically makes for an interesting discussion.
Sean Foley has said that he likes his players to draw the ball with an open face angle of 3 degrees and then create the side spin with their arcs. So the ball starts right then curves back. He's probably got a Trackman on the range at OCN I'd imagine.
