MJ - "you must line up to the right of the target and pull hook it"

are you saying a closed stance is now used? The way i follow is that the ball back produces the change in plane line.

John

Moving the ball back does not change the plane line. You just catch the ball earlier, but the low point is still in the same place, it's just further forward from the ball. It's still an on-plane clubhead path. That's different than changing the plane line to be cross-line to the target line, which is most easily done by closing the stance. This will give a clubhead PATH to the right of the target line.
