Impact allignments

[new2golf]

If the inside part of the ball is hit with a clubface that, relative to the ball, is open (but square to the plane), and the face is square to the ball at separation then won't we hit a shot that starts straight and gently moves to the left?

My thinking is, that seeing that the initial direction of the ball is mostly due to where the face is at separation - in this case square to the ball hence straight to the target. Now seeing that the path is slightly inside (down to the lowest point of the swing), won't the ball have draw spin seeing that the path is more to the right side compared to where the face is pointing. Hence the shot that starts straight and draws to the left?

Not if low point and separation occur at tthe same spot.

Brian, I have been trying to figure out your response but am having a tough time.

Are you saying that if the ball separates at the low point, the path will sees to be inside and seeing that the face and path will align produce no side spin, and hence a straight shot?

Also doesn't separation always occur before the low point for irons, seeing that we are trying to hit down on the ball? So if the low point is after separation then I am assuming that the face must be open in relation to the ball at separation?

This is a good thread possibility here. I also am looking for direction on impact fix. I remember reading Brians bio on another one of his websites where he had an epiphany upon seeing the right arm below the left on pro's at impact. Not knowing any more about it myself, I would get in adress,pause and go to impact fix,long pause, look down and observe the following; Hips open ahead of shoulders, right arm lower than left and closer to my legs, slowly move that power package back, freezing my body, and return it undisurbed. It felt and still feels very, very, flat but ball flight is great. I would rock from impact fix into smal takeaways, again the takeaway feel was very flat, and the tension between my hips and shoulders would remain constant, letting the shoulders pull the hips back and the hips pull the shoulders back down. Has anyone tried this? Brian, I would really appreciate you doing a video on the following:

1.Hitting. Suggested titles include Swinging is for Sissies, Swing, my Ass, or Fat Mans Swing

2. Incompatable Parts

3. A video taking many TGM concepts and explaining in detail, such as Flying Wedges, The Power Package, Aiming Point, Impact Fix, etc.

You have a gift. Never Slice Again is the best video on the market. Don't do a beta version. WhenBen Doyle finishes his video, it looks like a cargo plane crashed on the driving range. Telephones were ringing in the background, He say's "Goodmorning Bud" to uh,...Bud, and my favorite he starts firing 5 iron punch shots across the bow of the driving range, 50 yards in fornt of 10 or so people on the range. If he dook hooks or pulls it left, that ambulance in heard on your video will be making an appearnace in his. Write more articles, amke more vidoes and charge well for your services, before the TGM guys in Atlanta wake up.
