Leakage

Leakage. What is it? How do you recognise it? How do you avoid it?

Bagger,

I'd like to request that 12 piece bucket be blocked from responding to this question- it's just too easy, too ripe!

Strav- I'm assuming you have the book- 2-C-0 Paragraph 4, or did you want more?

Thanks for the reply Mike
I have the book and also the the Ben Doyle video “How to Build a G..O.L.F. Game” where he demonstrates the angle of the shaft in relation to the shadow of the milk crate and says “That looks straight – that is leakage - this is straight”. Is he saying the same as 2-C-0 i.e. that Clubface imprecision during impact will permit Compression leakage?
Did he recognize that leakage would occur simply by looking at the angle of the clubshaft and are there other ways we can demonstrate leakage?

I'm not sure when you say - "did he", if you're referring to Ben Doyle or Homer Kelley, but in this situation, probably doesn't matter much - I would say YES to your two questions- unless I missing a finer issue of the question. But you bring up a good distinction- which is why I asked if you "wanted more", because 2-C-0 paragraph 4, covers the basic principle- while Homer would have left the application of that principle up to the AI's- with their creative ability. So the Ben Doyle example is one great example of potentially thousands of ways to determine if you created or will create compression leakage during impact. Unfortunately, off the top of my head I don't have any sparkling examples to throw in here (no pun intended), but others may and if not- you'll definitely find alot of them yourself as you work on your game and try to achieve that consistent and elusive - "on-plane compression" or it's unscientific term - "Talent". Now, I need to go back and find my ball in the rough here!, I know it's here somewhere!

Now, that's funny!

I'm not even going to dignify this with a response, Mr. "O". It seems that you must have the mind of the degenerate not I. I will not even say skid marks. You can poo poo this thread all you like. Behaving like a little 6 year old squirt.

12 piece- great to have you back!

Bagger,
We need to talk!

It's OK Mike -
Bucket's-head has been in the diaper-pail for some time now. It will take a while to detox.
Just be patient with him.

Exactly . . . Mike started it!!! I bet you he's the first to say "shart."
