I have heard claims of junk science, but seen no proof to back them up, what exactly are these claims and what is there supposed proof? For example I read someone stating hinge action was nonsense, so let me get this straight I can move my hand through there any which way and it won't affect the golf ball? If I reverse roll vs full roll that doesn't affect the ball? Gimme a break someone enlighten me as to these claims

The thought is that wherever the face is pointing at "maximum deformation" (as opposed to separation) along with the direction of the path, it makes no difference how it got there or what happens after it leaves. The "rate of closure" means nothing, it's all in what direction the vectors (face direction, path direction) are pointing. Also, I hear that there has been "3D imaging" that shows that there is very little actual difference in the rate of closure when angled hinging vs. horizontal hinging. As far as where this is published, I'm not sure that it is.
