Why fade?

[KevCarter]

With Horizontal (Closing Only) and Vertical (Layback only) Hinging, both Club Face and Club Head rotate around the same Hinge Pin (both are Centerd Motions). Because Angled Hinging produces both Layback and Closing at the same time, it is an uncentered motion and has a built in Slice tendency. Simply close the Clubface at Impact Fix (more for longer clubs, less for shorter clubs) to avoid this and you will be a happy camper.

Drew,

Very nice post, it turned on a light bulb for me...

Since becoming a hitter, I still set up with my clubface a little open to my target line and hit push draws, my preferred ball flight. I suspect that even though I am hitting, I'm using 4 barrels and employing a Horizontal Hinge, hence, the fade is not my stock ball flight.

Make sense?

Thanks,
Kevin
