If you're Hitting do it with 12-1-0 in mind. Basic, Acquired , Total Motion is built, built , built. What do you mean by "Clubface square"? If you mean square to the hole you need to read 2-C-0, it'll only stay square to the hole kinda sorta for Vertical Hinging, a cut shot. Trying to keep the face square to the hole is a popular misconception but a geometric death move for those seeking full compression. See Steering , Golfs first Snare, 3-F-7. Perhaps you're referring to Angled Hinging however......I dunno. In that case the Left Hand stays vertical to the Angled Plane, a natural by product of the physics of Thrusting. With a Push Fade tendency that can be corrected by closing the face when gripping the club at Fix. That would be the most common Hitters "adjustment" Id imagine. Much of the book is derived from the geometry necessary at impact for total compression. This geometry isnt what it first appears to be. From an intellectual perspective that may be the place to start. See 2-C-0 and the various diagrams and discover why Ben Hogan advised us to the hit the "inside aft" of the ball. Why he thought the plane line pointed out to right field......it actually doesnt but in retrospect it was an understandable, perhaps even inspired insight though not correct. Anyways, good luck with it. Sorry if this isnt the answer you had hoped for, or if Ive only added to your information overload. Everyone here has dealt with that predicament Im sure.
