No. However, using a strong Horizontal Hinge will produce a Fade if the Ball is located 2 inches aft of the Right Forearm Angle of Approach.

Although you increased the Hook-Face, the Ball will Fade without a corresponding steeper Plane Angle. Increased Hook-Face means a faster Closing Ratio but does not guarantee that the Face will Close enough for Impact to produce straight-away flight.





Some things to notice from the Diagram above. First, get a Club, and grip the club with the Right Hand halfway down the shaft.

Play the Ball in the same location. First without adding Hook-Face, then add Hook-face. Notice that adding Hookface makes it necessary to move the Elbow closer to Low-Point to create a Square Clubface at Separation.

Some of the WORST advice I received as a kid, was to "Close the Clubface until the Ball goes straight".. Today, I wouldn't be opposed to tell someone to "Open the Clubface" until you learn to move he Right Forearm to the Angle of Approach for Impact.
