just wanting to work on clarifying some of my knowledge. directions the ball starts is controlled by path, curve is controlled by clubface? Just trying to sort through the clutter

I think this is the way the PGA Manual diagrams them.

What an absolute load of rubbish that has done more harm than good in continuing the tradition of under educating PGA professionals since 1913.
Simplicity by ommision!

Awful not lawful.
 
4 barrells, this is why I asked, to see if it is correct and be corrected on my misconceptions. So is there any ball flight laws?

There are ONLY laws, not any specific 'ball flight' ones.

I have a video coming out on this.

But I will show a graphic today on the subject.
 
cool,
also, will it discuss trajectory?
Lately I have been hitting MUCH better at the range. Last night I was doing a drill where I took a couple practice backswings, because I could get those in the right position. Then I would do a backswing and pause at the top to the count of three, and adjust my position if I was too flat, then hit balls from there. I hit the ball VERY very high but also really far, 175 yard 7 irons. My hands where leading at impact, and the ball did not have a ton of spin, but was very high. so how does angle of attact affect heighth?

Angle of attack affects spin.

To expand:

More in/out = closed plane line = delofting clubface = less loft => less spin

More out/in = open plane line = adding loft to clubface = more loft => more spin
