Basic Motion

[12 piece bucket]

Success has many family members! I was "lifting and chopping" the wrong way trying to chop with the right hand heel pad. The ball really took off but had the slightest fade, so I'll remember that.
I love the idea of HH and an open face (hot turkey sand. lol). I am on page 31 of "Swingers'encyclopedia" and have decided to read it with club in hand. Is HH with a slight open face the "Knuckle fade" of Hogan?

Quick, where is my club (I always have one in my closet at school for lunch break)?

Regardless of the hinging you employ (assuming contact on the sweetspot) the ball fades because the path vector is left of the face vector. So you can hit the left to right spinning shot with any hinge action so long as the above rule isn't violated.

Will vary ball position in the arc also!

Thanks!

Absolutely . . . the closer you position the ball to low point (closer to left shoulder) the less "out" in the plane . . . has big implications . . . .

In addition how much shaft lean has an effect as well . . . leaning the shaft produces more "out" . . . delofts the face generally . . . and can open the face . . . and increases the angle of attack.

so ball more back = more "out" 'til you get to low point . . . handle forward = more out until you get to low point.

The shaft lean piece (right wrist bend amount) is why Homer didn't make right wrist bend an imperative. The left wrist is always flat . . . but the right wrist bend can will and does vary for ball position and the shot at hand.
