Do you think a degree of loft would affect aim?

How about 1/16 of a degree of offset?

How about the Head design of a long,skinny rectangle versus a fat half circle?

What about color of Head material?

What about the Location of the Line on the Top Line or the Flange or no line at all?

The height of the Toe versus the Heel?

The Lie angle?

Left Eye versus Right Eye?

Ball location?

Plane of the Eyes...right., parallel or left?

Distance from the ball?

and so....and... so on!!!
I'd have to disagree with Tong, only on one point. I like the eyes and head swivel for the straight liners. I think that's very good information. But, there are those that see curves. Let's not forget them. When one uses a visually curved path, the (straight line) head swivel must be abandoned. The head will move in any way that it must to let the eyes trace the curved path that the ball will take. Some see the straight line that shoots 2 ½ cups outside the hole. Some see the entire path of the ball which is the curved line. Some see both. There are some that don't visualize the straight line, so there can't be one way for the head to move.

It might be interesting to ask everyone what they use.
