IF the machine is perfectly on plane - the line of pull. The design of the club will pull the toe 'out' for proper impact. Try swinging a hockey stick, or any number of aids that exagerate the 'toe' of a club, they force that shaft to turn around the COG - sweetspot. A perfectly on plane swinger, or machine, doesn't need to cause the out. Realistically, nobody is that perfect, so the release is often 'caused' by the golfer (release swivel). the design of the club, and the physics of the COG plane, require that the shaft rotate around the sweetspot (per Ted's baseball bat example). __________________ "Support the On Plane Swinging Force in Balance" "we have no friends, we have no enemies, we have only teachers" Simplicity buffs, see 5-0, 1-L, 2-0 A and B 10-2-B, 4-D, 6B-1D, 6-B-3-0-1, 6-C-1, 6-E-2 EdZ View Public Profile Send a private message to EdZ Find all posts by EdZ
