10-5-E
 

Yoda,

When I try to explain "Hitting" to others, I most often
get the question - Why doesn't the ball go to the right"
When I look at the picture of 10-5-E I see approx a 30
degree angle between the target line and the plane line.
This seems to be to much for squaring the clubface through
impact. The left shoulder in the picture looks to be more
to the left than in other pictures indicating Horizonal hinging
rather that angular hinging and the right arm has straightend
out more.

Over the last month, I have hit 8,000 balls alternating between
"Hitting" and "Swinging" on every other shot. My shots are
mostly straight with either method. Recently I tried to
incorporate the 10-5-E into the set-up/Fix but ran into problems.
I get the feeling that out to Right Field is actuall out to the
target. Is this correct or should I feel like I am trapping the
ball?

When utilizing the angle of approach as per 10-5-E, I know the degree of divergence between the target line and the angle of approach plane line depends on ball position. That said, can someone tell me about how much divergence (in degrees) would there be with a driver vs. a seven iron vs. a wedge? Since there is no virtue that cannot be exagerated into a fault, I was curious just how much should I be driving to right field with different clubs. :lol:

Right center field
 

John,

At Impact Fix the back of your left hand (or your Flat Left Wrist) should be facing - at the correct Angle of Approach line - some area in right center field. It'll vary, depending on ball position and length of the club.

I asked Yoday when using 10-5-E, with no left arm turn on backswing
and no left arm rolling on downswing using angular hinging with the
back of the left hand verticle to the plane and the and the plane to
right field, what keeps the ball from going to right field? This may be
a very complicated question that Yoda didn't have time to tacke or
to complex to expain easily?
Thanks, Donn Kerby

You adjust the face of the club at impact fix....the longer the club the more closed you set it at address.

The shorter the club the less you have too. For instance look at YodasLuke PW...notice how closed the club is going back? That's because you aren't letting it rotate open so there is no need to "close" it on the downswing.

So when it hits the ball the face is slightly closed but with angled hinging it lays back to "open" it a little and thus a straight shot.

I think i said this right, but not 100% sure on it.

Thanks Jim. I will try rotating the clubface closed during Fix.
Would think that the left rotation would mess up the Flying Wedges
with the left wrist not vertical to the plane. Will try both setting the
clubface closed at address before gripping the club and/or rotatiing
the grip left at Fix. Thanks again, Donn

Set the club closed, THEN take your grip so to not disrupt the flying wedges.

You will have to fiddle around until you find out how closed you need yours to be

Jim, Thanks again, you are a prince. Donn
