Remember the old Ball Flight Laws, by Gary Wiren? One of them had to do with the Path and Face. It goes something like this...THE INITIAL DIRECTION THE BALL TAKES OFF IN IS A RESULT OF THE PATH, AND THE EVENTUAL CURVE OF THE BALL IS A RESULT OF THE CLUBFACE AT IMPACT.
How true do you think this is? If the face is open or closed enough... will the face over-ride the path?
The book says in 3-F-7-A... to "Depend on Clubface alignment for direction control."
Hi Lagster, I f believe that the ball flys where the club face is pointing , but if you change the plane line ie direction lets say a open open plane and stance line, this would then produce a clockwise spin on the ball which would produce a slice with the clubface open. the british Pga used to teach that path controlled the ball direction then the clubface, but they changed that to the clubface.

What do you think?
You think, set it up and execute it that way, but the "Law" do it the other way around. So, how true is it, you or the "LAW"?
"If the face is open or closed enough... will the face over-ride the path?"(or "will the path over-ride the face")
Does a ball ever touch the ground when hit by a wedge followed by a deep divot?
__________________ Yani Tseng, Go! Go! Go! Yani Tseng Did It Again! YOU load and sustain the "LAG", during which the "LAW" releases it, ideally beyond impact.
"Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一).
The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
"Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn. Bend the shaft.

Wiren has it exactly backwards.
The initial direction the ball takes off depends more on clubface orientation than path; The Search for the Perfect Swing, Cochran & Dobbs, Chapter 20 (1968 ). The amount of curve in the air is the direct result of the size of the angle between the swing path and face aim; ibid.
Dr. Zick answered this one too. Hint: it involved a "D" plane of flight based on the path and face. Face was definately the most important factor in ball flight direction. It was quite a "Z"ummit.
