Guys, Homer knew the ball doesn't leave exactly at right angles to the Clubface, espcially with higher compression shots (e.g. driver). That's what he said "practically at right angles...". I have no data to back myself up, but maybe somebody with a high speed camera or launch monitor can have some input here...I'm pretty sure it's more 1-2 degrees off 90 degrees with my driver.
Here's a thought. Put a ball on a tee. Strike a downward blow with a nine iron. Did the ball go up or down? Was the Clubhead path up or down? Practically at right angles.
So whats really happenning when the ball is hit straight with a driver and has a fade towards the end.

The face was probably relatively square at separation but wasn't closing that much during the impact interval. An angled hinge would produce this ball flight - pretty straight and "falling off to the right" at the end.
