Yoda,

Also, since the Ball always leaves perpendicular or 90 degrees from the leading edge of the Clubface at Separation, doesn't the above procedure necessarily produce a Pull shot?

Closed at Fix (Impact) and Closed at Separation are two different things.

If you set up closed...and...the clubface, even with layback, still closes...how can you set the face closed at fix?

Unlike Horizontal and Vertical Hinging, Angled Hinging is an Uncentered motion that results in an inherent Slice tendency. This Slice tendency must be (1) compensated or (2) lived with. Assuming the latter solution is unacceptable, I can only reiterate what The Man said, "The tendency to Fade is still there," and the only compensation is a Closed Clubface at Fix.

Remember, though, the Closed Clubface compensation is necessary only on the longest, hardest hit Shots with their extended Impact Interval. Otherwise, the Ball is not on the Clubface long enough to warrant this extreme alignment.

Closed at Fix (Impact) and Closed at Separation are two different things.

I understand that with Angled Hinging, the Clubface becomes more and more Open (but still Closed) relative to the Delivery Line during Impact.

But...
If the Clubface is Closed (relative to the Plane Line) at Impact, then it must be more Closed (again, relative to the Plane Line) at Separation, right?

Please point out where I'm going wrong here.

Thanks!

I think online programs would be great for people like myself who may not necesarily want to be paid golf instructors, but are high school golf coaches that want to instruct our kids the best way possible. Maybe not even call us "AI's" but maybe TGM certified "coaches".
