His ball-flight "laws" are also completely backwards from what I remember. Pretty much the exact opposite of what really happens. Says clubhead path determines starting direction and clubface dictates curvature. Thus an out-to-in path with an open face means you'll hit a pull-slice...when we all know what will really happen.[/quote]
FOR ALL OF US WHO HAVE BEEN TAUGHT OR LEARNT IN ALMOST EVERY TEXT WRITTEN ON BALL FLIGHT LAWS THAT THE CLUBHEAD PATH( BEYOND A CERTAIN SPEED WHERE THE PATH VECTOR SPEED SUPERCEDES THE FACE DIRECTION DICTATES TO THE STARTING INITIAL DIRECTION OF THE BALL AND THE DIRECTION OF THE CLUBFACE WILL DETERMINE THE CURVATURE OF THE BALLFLIGHT, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT CORRECT AS PER THE ASSUMPTION MADE. IN A PUTT WHICH IS A STROKE OF LESSER INTENSITY THAN A DRIVE IT IS CLEARLY SEEN THAT THE CLUBFACE ALIGNMENT DETERMINES THE STARTING DIRECTION OF THE BALL BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE CLUBHEAD TRAVELS ACROSS THE BALL FASTER AS IN A DRIVER. WOULD THE RESULT BE THE SAME IN BOTH CASES??? IT WOULD BE NICE TO KNOW FOR OUR FORUM READERS WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS TO THE SHOT SHAPE WHEN THE PATH IS OUT TO IN AND THE CLUBFACE IS OPEN TO THE PATH LINE IF ITS NOT A PULL SLICE THEN WHAT IS IT/ A PUSH SLICE.
