Ted Fort's Hitting Stroke -- Pitching Wedge (Down The Line)

[Yoda]

Yoda,

You teach me fanning the right forearm on the takeaway, but it seems that Ted does not have much fanning at the beginning and the clubface appears to be closed going back...and closed at the top. Why is that?

Danny,

Ted is using the Angle of Approach procedure with its steep Plane (2-J-3-B) and you are using the geometric Plane Line (the straightline baseline of the Turned Shoulder Plane). Therefore, his Angled Hinging appears to Fan less than yours -- Angled Hinging on a steep Plane approaches Vertical Hinging -- even though you are both using the same procedure.

Also, he hits the Ball very hard, and the Ball stays on the Clubface longer. Therefore, the Slice producing characteristic of Angled Hinging is greater than normal, and to compensate, he must Close the Clubface more than normal.

You're on the right track, Danny. Stay with it.
