swinging right or left?

[dlam]

Looking at Trackman Data
explaining HSP.
This is from their site.....

HORIZONTAL SWING PLANE
The swing plane of the club head – seen from above. Orientation left/right measured in relation to the target line.
Correlations (primary)
Club path, Horizontal Launch Angle
Correlations (primary)
Vertical Launch Angle Spin Rate
Notes:
Positive value means swing plane orientation towards the right (inside/out for right handed player) – and negative value means orientation towards the left (outside/in) Tour Pros are swinging outside/ in with a 5 iron – but since they are hitting strongly down on the ball as well (negative attack angle) they are still able to get a squared club path and face angle.


Members.... do you find in your experience that you must SWING LEFT with NEG AofA for 5 iron in order for the flight to be straight.
Has anyone SWING RIGHT???????
Does Kenny Perry draw a five iron and take a divot? If so how?

Yes.
Yes.
Kenny Perry hits a draw because he swings right and hits the ball with his clubface open to the targetline but closed to the path. He takes a divot because he hits down on the ball.

This picture illustrates a draw iron shot:

The other variable is centeredness of contact. To a degree it would be possible to hit it straight with a CP straight or slightly right with a downward strike if you hit it far enough off the heel. NOT OPTIMAL! but just saying.

This instance would be more prevelent in a driver going the opposite way.
