Word . . . consider the old weight on a string deal . . . weight is spinning round and round . . . then it flys off. Physics has it flying off at 90 degrees to the radius. So imagine if you tilted the axis of the whirling string so it was spinning around on an inclined plane. It still would leave at 90 degrees to the radius which would be OUT TO THE RIGHT.

The concept is the same in golf. The clubhead is the weight on the string. The force that you are generating would be at right angles to the radius. So anything back of lowpoint the force is OUT TO THE RIGHT. So design hook face into the club to DIVERT the force so you can hit the ball down the target line and not out to right field. Notice the longer the iron the less hook face . . the are designed to be played closer to low point.

Hope that makes sense . . . any correction would be good from any of the HEAVIES lurking.

Required reading for golfing neophytes and all duped lemmings! I proved this with pvc pipe and golf balls! Place the ball in the pvc pipe and time (if you can) a straight away release. Of course there is no hook face to divert, it is amazing how often able bodied teens leave the ball in the pipe! We start from top!

Most people think that the only hooked faces are on their super-duper anti-slice drivers! Square is NOT square folks!
