Another thing, you're somehow coming to the conclusion that an off-center hit (toe side) will cause the ball to spin to the right. The complete opposite is true. When you hit it on the toe, the gear effect will impart hook spin on the ball, so only measuring face angle to say the ball will end up 5 more yards to the right is incorrect!
If you guys want to be taken seriously, you need to prove your data on a TrackMan launch monitor, not calculating theoretical numbers at an instance in time.
I think anyone that sees this video should read chapter 22 in the book "Search for a Perfect Swing". This book is a scientific look at what happens during a golf swing, including impact. P.145 "virtually all the resistance to impact.. is borne by the inertia of the clubhead. That is to say, at that moment it might just as well not be connected to the player".
They go on to prove this by making a club with a hinge (similar to a medicus, 30 years before...)
