Geometry of the circle and how it applies to shot shaping .

Couple of Homerian terms to go then we can hit some draw shots .

Anyone wanna tackle what Homer meant by Grip Rotation? We're gonna need it.

I think 7-2 said it, in words, about as well as possible. Note-only hitters rotate their grip- TURN THE HANDS TO A NEW POSITION ON THE GRIP. It must be assumked that the hitter is using angled hinge and the swinger4 is using horizontal hinge.
If the ball is moved back , the hitter will hood the clubface to maintain a square leading edge, a draw will result, and if the ball is moved forward the hitter will lay back the clubface to square the leading edge. and a fade i s result. rotate the grip to do this.
The swinger , with horizontal hinge, when the ball moves back it opens the clubface3. Just rotate the plane line to conform to clubface alignment an fade. move ball forward, rotate the plane line to match the leading edge and a draw will result.
Do not move your stance in hitting procedure. the hitter can take a normal address , move the ball back/forward then rotate their grip. The swinger can take normal stance, then open or close their stance which will have the same effect as moving the ball back/forward and will accomplish the plane line rotation at same time.The swinger does move
