John: from the top of the page : the ball does not get turf pinched. Consider that the leading edge of the club passes under the ball. The soul hits the ground.
The ball is off the face pretty darn fast. Little ball before big ball.

A pinched shot is not a pretty ball flight or set of engineering force vectors.

Hi Guru,

Is the "pinched" wedge simply a "feel?'

There are so many "feels" involved in the Golfing Machine that make the game fun again for me. Some of these things, like the "heavy hit" are supposedly proven wrong by scientists, but are so real to me that I will always believe in them... was Mr. Kelley's work more "feel" based than "science" based than we realize? Not a knock on it if it is... it flat out works IMHO.

Sorry if this question is a little bit out there... it is really addressed to all...

Kevin
