Twenty-five years ago, the teaching standard was that Clubhead Path dictated Ball Direction. In my hotel seminars, I took this conventional wisdom to task:
I would take a putter and have everybody gather 'round a putting layout with approximately five feet to the hole. Then, I would execute a radically Inside-Out Stroke with the Clubhead (but with the Clubface aligned to the Target), and the Ball would go dead-straight into the hole.
So much for the 'pooh-bahs' of the day (many of whom are around today, but they sing a different tune).
