Aligning the Clubface

[HungryBear]

Typically . But guys like Luke teach Hitting with Horizontal . Go figure. The compensation being a deeper right elbow . The advantage being better compression no leakage. Per 2-C whatever drawing.

Similarly Hogan swung with Angled , sometimes, not always , didnt always swing left , hold it off. I mean every good golfer can manipulate the face right? The ball response is physics only.

One major difficulty with horizontal hinging and hitting.
Rotating pressure point #1 . Because the thrust is on plane, the rotation at point of appplication is disruptive for me.

Left hand , club face . Right hand club head. Hitting the right arm drives the primary lever , left arm and club shaft. Meaning the left arm fans open on the way back and fans closed on the way down , but by right arm power. Linear force diverted into angular motion or whatever . The patio door is closed by an inline rod.

But yes generally speaking youre fighting the physics to some degree ..unless you get your right elbow deeper into a side armed skipping stones motion. IMO. The right elbows position has its effect. Back for inline thrusting , deeper for a more throwing like motion which will tend towards Horizontal . the physics of the motion begets the elbow position , naturally.

Just reread this. Didnt see Rotating with a capital R at first. Yes Homer would agree. He preferred Hitting with Drive Loading for this reason . But in the field I see a lot of hitters who drag load and thereby load the Rotated Lag Pressure Point.
