[O.B.Left]

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...

Does it "have" to? Id say no. The tendency Ive noticed , as a long time drawer of the ball, is a push mainly but it can fall off to the right, fade too. A very consistent thing as my old draw could "super size" itself on occasion. The correction for this is a slightly closed club face at Fix.......more closed for longer clubs.

Does any one know if Trackman takes into account Hinge Action? It should Id imagine.............hmmmmmm. There is a rate of closing to the face which influences the geometry or physics of impact. No question about it to my mind. If you do some work in Acquired Motion or Basic even, with different Hinge Actions you can see it , easily. The pros employ Hinge Actions all the time.........probably without knowing what it is or what the associated Basic Plane is in our lexicon.

Who's Trackman savy around here? I've been meaning to make of study of it. I really like the idea of it.
