Does the angled hinge of the hitter HAVE to lead to a fade? It seems to me that angled hinge still has the club face closing through the ball and coming from the inside/down the plane.
Am I missing something? I feel the "no roll" and am hitting draws -- haven't really hit a fade all summer. Occasional straight push, but nothing is going to the right by curving there...
But why do people (at least somewhere on the forum here) say that hitters and specifically angled hinging tend to lead to fades?
Based on the newest information about ball flight laws I dont see he how it could, would love to hear a more seasoned opinion on mine on your question.

I agree that face is going to dictate initial direction, however, since an angled hinge has more of a no roll feel, the face will have a tendency to be more open at seperation than a horizontal hinge, which has a more rapidly closing clubface. You can adjust for this, by setting up with a more closed clubface at setup.
However, no matter how you swing the face and it's relation to path will dictate ball flight.
