Anybody interested in discussing the Right Arm Swing under the condition that we don't bring Tomasello's teachings into the discussion? We've had plenty of talk on the Tomasello method and I'm interested in a fresh perspective.
I have a short video of Homer viewing some right arm swingers and would like to post it if Lynn gives the OK.

The guys on Bombsquadgolf are often telling eachother about how open faced they have their drivers when they get fitted... Vijay apparently has a low loft, open faced driver....

Sure they might like to play a fade...but is the reason that they need an open face driver that they have stacked a load of weights into the rear port of their moveable weight technology drivers....moving COG backwards??

I am not so sure now.... Tom Wishon says that moving weight around the driver with your toolkit has so small an effect on COG that it does not really change performance that much...

Maybe shaft torque comes into this too...whilst the shaft flexes for COG to "line up"...I guess that is does not have to twist...hence clubface alignment may not change all that much...

Anybody else any ideas? I know Golfgnome might be able to help but his mind has real things to concentrate on this weekend!! PGA TOUR !! Good luck Jeff!!

This is video the public has never seen . . . from whose source we extracted the clip of Homer's swing that is posted in our Gallery. I understand the need to keep some things under wraps, but in this case, twenty-seven years is long enough.

Let'er rip, Bagger.

Sorry Bulldog I meant that during impact interval it was aligning. Agree at low point its aligned.

I guess we have to trust the R&D guys who design these clubs to have tested them to ensure that we dont get the drivers too hook faced as a result of moving the COG back. Remember though that they are designing clubs for the masses, people who have swing faults. Mainly slicers and people who cant get the ball in the air so if theres more hook face then thats even better for them.

This is why Todd and co at BSG are making such a good living selling us tour spec clubs, with open faces and low spin rates at very high prices.

So whats the impact on ball position and alignment? Nothing I guess unless you start hitting your drives left and your swing is fine.

Otherwise buy a new one or experiment.

Mucked about with an offset, closed face cobra driver at the weekend and could hit it straightish by playing it further back and teeing it higher (making sure to still go OUT as well as down and forward to low point) ?
