So, I know it's frustrating for someone like this guy that was pounding 7 irons 100 yards.

Not that anyone wants to take this a step further, but, the visual arc sharpens as the plane shallows. And, the visual arc straightens as the plane becomes steeper. Ultimately, it can become a visually straight line in the Angle of Approach Procedure.

The points are simply these:

1. Most see Low Point and Impact as the same thing.

2. Telling someone to swing left has no geometric basis and will encourage the bypassing of Low Point (encouraging for 1st point). But, if you'd like to encourage Roundhousing, it's an incomparable suggestion.

3. The degree of visual curvature is based in the steepness of the plane.

Nice 'un! Make the world go 'round in circles . . . make it fly high like a bird up in the sky.
