It's AMAZING that some teachers are still teaching that the starting direction is controlled by the path. Mr. Kelley was soooooo ahead of the curve with regards to the face being the boss with regards to direction . . . and he didn't have no $25,000 machine . .. or even a video camera to get it done.

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).
