[O.B.Left]

Hey JT

Homer had a personal preference for Grip Rotation over Plane Line Rotation I believe too. Manipulated Hands Swinging or Hitting.

Can I ask for an opinion on the geometry of the straight shot presented above?

K, so and correct me if I have this wrong, assuming a short iron say, ball back of low point, club face square to the Arc of Approach (therefor pointing right of target, no divergence in path and face). To hit the straight shot at the target you then rotate the plane line to the left accordingly.

I can see this as producing a straight ball, no problem. But wouldn't this be a higher flying , shorter shot given the added loft of the opened club face? I see it as a great way to get over a tree say. Maybe I have things wrong. If I don't , why doesn't this show up in the data ?

Me I just Rotate the Clubface back to square per (dang is it 7-3) and expect a slight draw if anything. But there isn't much of one due to the steeper plane angles associated with short irons. Less divergence , less Out , more Down . I use that logic on the other side of low point sometimes for the driver , but take the draw (ish) and the true loft , compression every time with short irons. Now in bunkers I do that just sometimes......if I want to avoid a hop to the right you get with the open plane cut shot.

That and the HOgan thing trouble me. I dunno.

Thanks Pro.
