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.
The formula for success is building a strong swing and understanding the cause and effect. Then hitting lots of good shots and few poor ones. Then letting the poor ones go. You have to accept that you will hit some of those, say equal to your handicap, and move on.
Short game is clearly a factor as well. The difference in level of damage a poor shot causes is related to the score. Making a good chip and holing the putt changes the whole dynamic. The more confidant the player is on his ability to score, the less pressure he puts on his swing.
WOW!!
WOW!!

The jewels just keep on coming. Great, great postings.
Thank you so much for your contributions. Has anyone signed you to a book deal yet?

Bucket,
I read alot here about face square at separation. I agree that a straight shot might be the optimal one in terms of the physics. I like a little curve in the shot, both for my eye and to give margin for error.
My understanding is of the condition is the face aligned between target line and path in equal amounts would result in a shot that curves to the target. For example, path 4 degrees right and face 2 degrees open. I think in terms of having the face open enough and not swinging too far right so the ball does not over-hook. I don't mind sending the ball a little right.
