Neil. The 'Dual' refers to one Plane of Motion for the Club
shaft (Inclined) and another for the Club
face (Horizontal or Vertical). In other words, whatever the Motion of the Clubface -- Close Only (Horizontal Hinging), Layback Only (Vertical Hinging) or Simultaneous Close and Layback (Anged Hinging) -- we assume an
Inclined Plane of Motion of the Clubshaft, i.e., the Golf Stroke itself.
However, with a Putt or very short Chip Shot, the Club
head can be made to
cover the Line, thereby remaining in a
Vertical Plane and thus ignoring the
Inclined Plane. Then and only then will the Club continuously 'scrape the wall.'
Normally, though, the Club is swung on an
Inclined Plane. Then, with the Ball located somewhat back of the normal Low Point, i.e., opposite the Left Shoulder, the Clubhead will 'scrape' very little a
vertical wall in Start Up. Instead, it will move Up, Back and
In immediately on an
inclined wall. In so doing, it will always
point at -- but not
cover! -- its Straight Line Base Line (Plane Line).
Then, having merely scraped the wallboard momentarily in Start Up, the Clubhead will obliterate it as it moves Down,
Out and Forward through Impact and Low Point during the Follow-Through.
