If the answer to your post has to be right or wrong? Then wrong would be the answer, although completely unclear and lacking precision would be the best answer.
...This article never differentiates the clubhead motion from the clubface direction and that is it's main downfall- the article shows how to hit a push fade or a pull draw- neither one will find the target. I'm guessing the guy that wrote it can't break 80!
Oops! Didn't see the quote marks on Leonjacky's post and thought the text was his. Should have read the linked article! Also didn't pick up the header as the question. Guess I just got too excited thinking that a TGM newbie had just found a nugget in Chapter Two!
The Clubface-Ball contact points referenced are right out of Sketch 2-B. Contact 'outside-aft' -- Hook. Contact inside-aft -- Fade. Contact 'middle' -- Straight Ball. But, as Mike O points out, the Clubhead Line of Flight (2-N-0) has a big part to play in the Ball's ultimate Flight Path.
Welcome to TGM, Leonjacky. Your search is over, but your journey has just begun!
Close but not quite - It really is the inside aft quadrant that initially gets struck for a straight shot and nothing visual about it. At the impact point/initial contact point with the ball, the ball deforms and stays on the face as the clubface is closing during the 'impact interval', by the time it seperates, this original contact point becomes square to the line of flight.
I am picking up the book with reference to vid of the Gallery.
So, it is correct to draw (fade) a ball in my understanding?
1. Hold the club with square club face and aim the inside (outside)quadrant of the ball
2. Whole Body aim to the right (left) of target line
3. Inside-out (outside-in)swing path in relation to target line (but remain inside-square-inside swing path in relation to base line)
4. 1-2 degree open clubface at impact and square at separation.
5. Finish with swivel (with angle hinge)
Finally, in order to hit it straight, it that we just manage the base line and plane line on the same line, impact with 1-2 degree open clubface at the aft part of the ball?
Sorry for my poor writing. I will try to adopt TMG's terms in next post.
