Is it possible, with automatic release, for CF to "betray" you and not release things in time to allow for a face that is aligned properly?
Left to operate as it should, Centrifugal Force will always align both the Clubshaft and the Clubface for Impact. However . . .
It is quite possible (even easy) to override this action through ignorance or effort or both. In fact, Hitters do it deliberately with every Stroke (as they should).
For Swingers, the greater the 'override', the higher the handicap.
