An 'in to in' (DTL) swingpath is asking a lot! Opinions?

[Patrick57]

The 'In to in' path involves an approach to impact from inside, then straight for 4/10 of a millisecond, and returning immediately to the inside after that. Giving, let's say a + or - 0.5° cushion, this would still be a difficult path to follow for the best of golfers. Adding to this, the factor of difficulty involved for hitting a straight shot from this path would require a square club face. For example, presuming we allowed a 0.5° cushion for both parameters could we identify why a ball is fading slightly using this shot choice. Is it because the path was + or was it the club face or was it both? Or or or. I believe we can mechanise a robotic machine to cover this path proficiently but even with the above cushions in place these perfect parameters are almost impossible for golfers to achieve or repeat.

Patrick, I'm your biggest fan!  I just can't get enough of you and your vast sea of knowledge. Can I have your autograph please?  Make it out to:  My dearest friend, HoganWoods.

Keep up these great threads!

Thanks for your fellowship.

You are an idiot if you think he was being serious.

This thread has no point. Apparently it's impossible to play good golf. Which explains the golfers in Patrick's videos.

Does this mean pro golfers are robotic machines?

FellowShip!!! LOL  You can be Frodo and I'll be Gandalf... Lets head for the crack of doom and bond our friendship to new heights!

No most pro golfers use the 'in to out' path. They are not stupid enough to create shots using the less controllable parameters.

Alright, Patrick.  I'm done.  Carry on...

Whats this 4/10 if a millisecond?

Robots only play for the girls,  the beer, and Cuban cigars.

Wrong, the golf swing no matter what goes in to in swing path. At the moment of impact it might be angled outward, but the clubhead will go back inward no matter what.

Also having more outward swing path will give leeway for hitting a draw, if its closer to square then you have no clue if its going to be left or right, it could be significant in that tolerance you specified. But, if you have an outward swing path, then you can draw it with hedging your right to left ball flight. You might hit it lets say 3 yard draw to 6 yard draw, but at least you know your going to draw the ball.

I think 'The Tin Head' would suit you better!

[/quote] That's what I'm saying, a DTL path has parameters that require exactness which drift into unreliability. Except for robots. I have never hit a perfectly straight golf shot, putting aside, intentionally. I shape every shot to a certain degree. Sometimes it comes off darn close to what I planned and other times to a lesser extent or even differently.

Don't you mean "Zuban" cigars?  I'll have a BenderBrau while you're at it, ha ha....

LOL!

I love Bender!  He has an in-to out swing path!
