Conventional instruction would hold that the ball hit as per your points 1,2,3 above would start off in the direction the clubhead was traveling (right of the target) and the ball would curve back to where the face was pointing (the target).

Would it be correct to think that TGM per 1-L-16 suggests that a ball hit as described above would start off in the direction the clubface was pointing at separation and then curve to the left due to the bent plane line the clubhead path is describing?

It occurs to me that TGM has an entirely different set of procedures for the shot makers fades , draws etc. If I read 1-L-16 correctly that is.

Me, I always pointed the clubface at the target when putting or hitting a wedge shot but the classic Nicklausian fade method never seemed to work for me. Until now I just blamed it on faulty execution but now Im wondering about the methodology. If I was behind a tree a pointed the face at the tree and pointed the plane line left or right of the tree...........Id hit the tree not curve around it.
