Hi Mike,

Glad you were able to convince your parole officer to let you use a computer. nice to see ya online again.

Given that a good iron shot is hit ball then turf, it seems to me that the clubface should be facing towards the ground at impact. So a "shutting" clubface IMHO is one that pointing toward ground with big divot. As opposed to a" closing" clubface which I associate with a sweeping feeling taking a little divot.

Image of 3 Iron Impact Sequence: Closing Only (AKA Horizontal Hinge)


Definitions: (casual)

Hooding: is when the Top Edge of the Clubhead is rolling toward or over the Bottom (leading) edge. That would require the Grip moving faster than the Clubhead. Playing the ball back or Leaning the Shaft Forward only de-lofts the Clubface. CLUBSHAFT

Shutting: the Clubface, occurs when you independently Roll your Hands (see Swivel). The Clubhead is closing and Hooding simultaneously. Hands

Swiveling: is the Tilt of the Sweetspot Plane from On-Plane to Vertical for Impact, or from Vertical to tilt onto the Swing Plane during Start-up. Controlled by both Flying Wedges. Flying Wedges

Rolling: is the Body Closing the Clubface relative to the Planeline. Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 1 and 2, but never Zone 3 (in my humble opinion). Body

Horizontal Hinge: is keeping the Left Wrist Vertical to the Ground through the Impact Interval while the Body Closes the Clubface. (Closing Only) Left Wrist
