Forget about Jones for a second . . . why do most hackers end up coming over the top? And when YOU come over it what happens to the ball?
Most hackers come over the top for many reasons, one being poor pivot and lack of any axis tilt. Their right shoulder comes out instead of down. Without any hip slide they produce no axis tilt. Many times they are trying to control the clubface and they have uneducated hands. As far as when I come over the top the ball starts left and then depends on clubface alignments after that.
