Thanks D.

In your third drawing......Ball positioned back of low point, grip rotation (and given True Hitting we assume Angled Hinging) resulting in a Draw given enough Divergence.

This is where I go a little foggy ..........the implications of Angled Hinging to the ball response. Gotta think a bit on that one, do some research.....

Re your second drawing and the accompanying quote from 7-2. "Moving the ball back (hook alignment) ...." I believe that should be accompanied by a drawing showing Grip Rotation with the ball fore and aft of low point. Your drawing shows a "Slice Grip" with a probable Push ball response which could be compensated for with an adjustment to the Target Line , Plane Line rotation in other words. Which would give you a straight at the hole shot but higher and softer given the increased loft on the club and slightly steeper Angle of Attack maybe. Not sure , maybe in the future they'll invent a machine that can measure all these dynamics....


Somewhere in the book Homer mentions the influence of an increase in the Angle of Attack on ball flight....it goes higher. Cant find it right now.....again its kinda hidden in there somewhere. But suffice it to say that moving the ball back and rotating the grip has implications.

We're talking Machine Adjustments. The tools of the trade for the shot maker. Like Jacks towering long irons.......or Tigers low spinning wedge 1/2 wedge ....or Trevino or Bobby Lockes putting or or or. This is the dna of their business.
