Draw a line from the hosel to the ball and the clubface is parallel to that line. It says a lot about their relative orientations.

DavidL is a Golfing Machine instructor who I e-mailed and asked to visit the board for his opinions about some of the claims being posted. I recieved a reply from him last night saying he made some post and he has no further interest in the board.

We were discussing what the pictures of Moe show weren't we? In the convenional swing the clubface positions are not the same as Moe's. At hip high the clubface does not immediately rotate to on plane. I said past hip high it rotates TO on plane. This on plane position is at the top of the swing.

And you defined it incorrectly according to physics.

Than what was your source since GM is the only golf concept that uses the terms you have?

Than why didn't you use other terms?

That's not the plane line, it's the plane ANGLE.

They're talking about the plane angle, not the plane line.
