Ok let me try again. I see videos of these guys talking about hitting straight shots with the following logic: Given a square plane line and balls back of low point the face which is square to the path and the path both point to the right, no divergence . (Producing a straight push , but under powered I think due to the open face). To hit it straight at the target the recommendation as I understand things is to rotate the plane line to the left . Giving you a straight shot at the target yes.. but to my mind one hit with more than true loft ... sorta like a cut shot but with no divergence.

I just don't see good players hitting straight shots like this ... unless they're trying to hit it higher than normal .

Gotcha. I don't see a face open to target at impact as weak. Big old bombing draws touch the ball with open faces. With that being said, I would agree with you that better players aren't hitting wedges with open faces and rotating to straighten the "push". I see it as only getting pushed if you catch the inside of the ball, and when better players hit short irons, they hit down and control trajectory and spin.........and they swing left of target nearly always to produce this and balance out the angle of attack, because alot of down and right leads to the dirty "s" word!
