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." 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.
