The Ball has a Center of Gravity. The Line of Compression does not pass through the Center of the Ball. Although the Center of Gravity of the Ball intersects the Center of Gravity of the Clubhead Orbit, the Inclined Striker will create an off-center Strike (Vertical Plane). All objects will (eventually) Rotate around their Center of Gravity.

2-A RESILIENCE The response of the ball to different applications of force is the factor that determines how force must be applied to produce a desired result.

Resilience is the key factor in ball response. Neither a rock on a spoonful of clay will act the same as a golf ball. The ball is subjected to a violent deforming compression. The ball is actually distorted, not compressed – except for reduction of one dimension. Rubber is incompressible. Trapped air bubbles can be compressed – but not the rubber itself – it flows. It flows in two directions – but acts like a solid in the third. This third direction is the direction of the compressing force. The momentum of the violent return of flow after impact also distorts the ball by exceeding the normal dimension of the compressed point. The “kick” given to the ball by this action is an important factor in ball response. Roll of the ball on the face of an inclined striker does not account for all the action produced by such an impact, especially in imparting spin to the ball. When the direction of the compressing force does not pass exactly through the center of the ball, a spin will be imparted to the ball. It will rotate on the plane of a line drawn form the line of compression to a parallel center line.
