The following exchange came from the GEA site, and I'm trying to understand why the hitting pattern is said to generate a fade type ball flight. I'm a TGM novice, so be gentle.
Thanks

Hitters set up with the face more and more closed the longer the shot to compensate for this laying back. On the other hand swingers who use horizontal hinging set up with the face more and more open the longer the shot to compesate for the closing through impact.
What I'm really asking about is what happens during the impact interval to create the fade. I think I understand what you have said( I'm a TGM novice at best), but it doesn't explain the fade ball flight. For a ball to fade, there must be a rotational component of the backspin that is left to right (right hander), which implies that the clubface must be moving in the opposite (right to left) to some extent to impart the fade spin component. How, specifically does this happen if the clubface is closing during impact interval, and on a inside to outside path?
