Yes; no divergence in face angle and line of compression. But side spin is imposed on the ball by the hinge action(s). This is probably close enough to be "pracically straight" though.
I agree in that I certainly see a draw tendency myself but Lynn has always maintained that any Hinge Actions when properly executed will create straight away ball flight. Properly executed is the key word there. There may be face angle and plane line adjustments needed to accomplish that for Angled or Vertical. Lynn said he was going to get back to us on that one and the drawings of 2-C as well. That'll be a great post.
As an aside its interesting to me that Homer didnt actually used the term "side spin". He was ahead of his time in that he considered the curve producing spin to be what he termed "tilted backspin" 2-E or "non vertical spin" 2-D.

2-E
".....If the Line of Compression (LOC) is not on the Vertical Centerline , the backspin will be titlted per 2-B. This tilt ---- Proportional to the divergenence of those Impact alingments ----- gives the only directional manipulation available (2-D, 7-2).
