Background:


There are three Clubface Alignments. We're concerned mostly with 2.
  1. Pivot, Turn and Roll: Opening or Closing the Face to the Plane Line
  2. Hooding and Layback: Swivel (Technically it's not hooding and Layback but I don't have the words, but over-swivel/under-swivel doesn't explain much)

A Swivel is a Rotation of the Toe of the Clubface and Heel of the Clubface around the Sweetspot on the Clubface. Simply stated, it’s the Toe and Clubshaft Rotating around the Sweetspot.

The Sweetspot Plane is the longitudinal center of gravity of the Golf club. It’s an invisible line that connects the Sweetspot on the Clubface up through the top Right side (ideally) of the Golf club grip (because of the forward leaning shaft).

Simple Experiments: These are "Swivel"
  1. Hang a Club from its grip. Twist it and let go. The Club will recenter itself (Swivel).
  2. Tape 3 pennies to the heel of a 9 iron. It changes the Heel/Toe weighting and will re-orientate the Clubface accordingly.
  3. Buy an Adjustable Weighted Driver. Play with the Screws.

My intention while addressing the Swivel issue during a discussion or Fades and Draws, is that CF will Orientate the Clubface (Hood-Layback) while the Player moves the Ball Location Fore and Aft for Plane Line/Target Line (Pivot Turn and Roll). This controls trajectory on Fades and Draws. But more important, it's integral to sustaining the Line of Compression during all three procedures, Closed, Open and Square Plane Line relative to the Target Line.

Hey, it was just a passing thought.
