Isn't the Angle of Approach procedure a Cross Line procedure?

Yes, the Angle of Approach procedure is Cross-Line. But what
Homer Kelley is saying here is that, in a Swinger's On Line procedure, there is an Angle of Approach (the straight line drawn through the Impact Point and Low Point). And thus you can see the
curved Clubhead Blur as it approaches the selected Delivery Line -- the true Geometric Plane Line (2-J-3) --
from the Inside.
In the Hitter's Angle of Approach procedure, an alternative 10-5-E Closed Plane Line becomes the Delivery Line and is erected
on the Angle of Approach. The Clubhead then
covers that Line and hence does
not approach it from the Inside. This leads to one of the book's more obtuse quotes: "There is no Angle of Approach in an Angle of Approach procedure."
Now, technically speaking, the On Line Visual Equivalent would actually be the
Arc of Approach (and not the Angle of Approach). However, it is possible for the Hitter to use the true Geometric Plane Line , e.g., 10-5-A per the Basic Stroke Pattern of 12-1-0. In that case, the Right Triceps Thrust
could result in a visual Angle of Approach
straight line Clubhead Blur through Impact. In other words, the Triceps Thrust toward the Plane Line could result in the Clubhead actually being driven along the Angle of Approach and hence above Plane through Impact.
