Hey Lag…what’s the chance of you posting a picture of one of your own personal irons in which you removed the most amount of offset:
What would the head/shaft relationship look like as you are looking down the club from the address position.
Me and another rat fink are going into the secret lab soon with bars- hammers- and propane in hand for some serious experimenting-and it would be nice for a visual reference to begin with. Beyond bending the hosel, we are maybe thinking of somehow putting a torsional twist into the hosel in some way…don’t know if that can be done…but we are damn sure going to try.
We’re thinking that offset is just a visual equivalent term for the amount of face progression…so if we can open that face up as wide as possible- or as far from centerline axis as we can- that might take care of the post-impact slice variable and therefore reduce the hitting equation to intending to impart hook spin via the pivot…opposing spins.
