I don't believe he would agree with the notion that the face is 3 degrees more open at impact than it is at seperation, either; impact doesn't last long enough and the face doesn't rotate fast enough for that to be possible. This is just from what I understand of his research.
That's is what I gathered from reading the stuff as well. Whether he's right is a whole 'nuther story. . . .
