I thought moving forward leads to more draw action as the face is, after low point, now closed to the target line? Unless you are holding off, the angled hinge simultaneously closes and lays back.

When I did the forward/up, I got high draws to fairly straight balls unless I felt like I was "wiping" the club across the ball with a hold off type feel.

With a swingers horizontal hinge the face opens going back and closes going forward which with a down an out motion should produce a push draw.

With a hitters angled hinge the face should remain more closed going back and lay back at impact which will produce more of a straight shot or fade depending on ball position.

Swinger open to closed, hitter closed to open is how I basically think about it.

So basically if you move the ball position back a touch and HIT down and out you should produce a draw. When you move it forward you should produce a higher cut.



That is where I am basically with a driver I might be a little further forward but not much. Somewhere around my big toe and index toe (lol?).

When I hit the driver poorly its because my right shoulder isn't getting down deep enough or I get quick.

So basically my pre-shot rehearsal with my driver is 5 really relaxed and slow practice swings. Slow back with a low and inside the plane feeling drive of the right shoulder followed by a pop of the right arm.

The slower I can make it and thus the longer I drive that right shoulder and later I fire the right arm the higher and deeper the drives get.
