I already know that the Ball should leave at right angles unless I want otherwise and I know how to make it happen. So, it doesn't matter to me either way. But I do like the word "Proper". It is the "Proper way".........to leave at Right Angles...

AirAir, I think you should understand something. Hinging is the easy part. Not disturbing the Sweetspot Orbit is the Hard Thing. That's what TGM will teach you. And you'll learn that you need a "Flat Left Wrist" to learn how not to disturb the Orbit. If you can get a Flat Left Wrist through Impact, everything else will almost fall in place.

The Clubhead, with a Driver, and the Ball Played back 1 inch behind Low-Point, will travel downwards 1/50th of an inch and outward even less before ball separation. That's how critical it is. 1/50th of an inch. That's the difference between full compression or not. Even with a Putt. You need Hinge Action even with a Putt to gain compression.

It's technique that allows the perfect Orbit of the Sweetspot.

Good to know. Thx.
BTW: How closely are lag and compression related?

I agree Tim, plus it looks like things have calmed down and everybody is coming to a consensus. Maybe everybody just has to look at impact in the manner that makes them comfortable, just like different components in the stroke.

"Do whatever you like, just so you know why you are doing it."

Wise words from a wise man!

wise words indeed Kev, i've learnt more in a fortnight on here about what i can do in a golf stroke & why i might choose to do it, than i learnt in 7 years elsewhere & it isn't like i wasn't looking before !

and the best bit is i'm sure i'm just scratching the surface so far

My thoughts exactly Tim, I've taught for 30 years+ without having the first clue, I felt like a bank robber, now I'm scratching the surface and just feel like a pick pocket! We'll get there...

BTW, I love it when folks type with an accent!
