When is clubface most open?

Mornin Tyler?

Practicing my tai chi and wondering- at which point in the swing the clubface is most open to the path?
I would expect some variance, but my guess is somewhere in the zorro loop, like the still shot here.

Thank you!

Hi Zach,

For a lot of tour pros, it would be at the top of the swing, or just before it. In the attached axial velocity graph, you'll see the graph is positive the whole downswing, meaning that it's closing the entire time. The rate of closing frequently slows down during the zorro loops and for some it opens up, but not all.

I hope that helps,
Tyler
