    length of compression vs. direction of launch

    Hello All. In one of Brian's episodes he talks about the club face being open at initial impact with the ball then closing to square when the ball leaves the face for a straight ball flight. I have two questions regarding this idea. First scenario: Two identical swings except for one...
