The key is to keep your left wrist vertical to the plane you are duplicating - that will move any clubface alignment in that chosen Hinge action. And rolling the Hands on plane is not hand manipulation- neither by themselves or with the body pivot. This Release roll swivel and orbiting arms along the plane line is the rhythm that allows the clubface to travel in a full roll or no roll or reverse roll. The distance the clubface close to the plane line determines the chosen Hinge motion Hinging is rhythm and rhythm is roll. Feel the roll. Changing the sweet spot balance produces different Rhythms per TGM. The club face motion through impact has everything to do with shaping shots. I don’t know if you got the latest news on ball flight direction but the club face is responsible for most and path little. Hinging is rhythm and rhythm is feeling the sweet spot balance. “Feel the hinge from the sweet spot balance” Last edited by purehitter : 07-27-2008 at 01:35 PM. purehitter View Public Profile Send a private message to purehitter Find all posts by purehitter
