Would there not be divergence albeit lessened by steeper plane angles . Maybe some body can explain it to me ... please.





I know Ive read about hook face in other contexts somewhere in the darn book .... cant find it right now.. Has anyone got em handy?
When the ball is struck before low point the club head and face is pointed down out and forward if not built with hookface. ie. the club head crosses the plane line on the way to low point. This will hit the ball to right field, a little. at the intended point of impact the club head, with hookface, is designed to sit square to the plane line. Therefore, at impact the ball will have a clubface pointed along the plane line/target line not out to right field.
Right field is a tangent at impact.
That is just this bears understanding. But U should pick the understanding U like.
