How to Draw?
How would I use the book to learn how to hit a draw, which starts right of the target and curves back to it? Specifically, where in the book can I find where it says what the alignment of the clubface should be relative to the target line at separation?

I know how it works, too. I'm trying to find out from TGM "experts" if the book covers this in some way. I'm not trying to be "smart". I just really have a hard time understanding what Homer meant.

Doesn't horizontal hinging give a draw in itself?

No.
Correctly executed on a Square Plane Line, Horizontal Hinging produces dead straight shots.

I hurried to put this together so here's the first try. Draw Alignments for Hitters and Swingers.

I stand corrected. Much to learn.
But if a golfer wants a draw, he can make use of a horisontal hinging action (together with other alignments changes which will not be mentioned here of lack of knowledge) - then there is a good possibility that a golfer can get the draw he wants - or ??

Daryl, your drawings are always very helpful ! Thanks !
I have a question though: you setup the swinger with a clubface at the target and a closed plane line, that mean that you rely on the clubpath to start the ball a little right of the target (and clubface), enough for the spin to bring it back to the target ?

Yes, you've got it but keep in mind that the Clubface is Closed because the Ball was moved forward. If I need more than a 15 Yard Draw then I also need to Rotate my Grip but I continue using the Swingers Alignments.
The Alignments and Ball flight are very predictable as they are using Hitters Alignments. Small Amounts of Adjustments produce small curves. What I like most about using the Swingers Alignments is that it has "Fine Tuning" and you can dial in the exact amount of Divergence.
