...what would be the difference between the target and the plane line? Would they not be along the the same line?
The Impact Plane Line is in front of you and down on the ground. You swing the Club Down and Out toward that Plane Line and through it toward the Low Point Plane Line.
The Target, on the other hand, is well to your left...way out there...somewhere. Steering the Club on a Line to that distant Target is completely different than swinging Down and Outtoward the Plane Line down and in front of you.

It's little but it's BIG. This is a short and sweet post . . . however, this may be the absolute BEST post on golf I have ever read. The concepts here must be understood or developed unknowingly through instinct or you'll never "get it."
Read this and think about it. This about sums up the golf "quandry" and answers in nice neat package.
Yoda . . .is this gem Homer's or Yoda's or both? No matter this will go right at the top of my Lynn Blake Notes Word File.
Teach understand this and you will not go "over." Read it and conceptualize it.
The target is RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU. Not OUT THERE.

First, 12 piece where are your manners- just when I was going to post a similar response- look who's on line and "cuts" in front of me!
Great post Lynn- if that doesn't just hit you over the head with a hammer I don't know what post does! Keep up the great work- I'm in the process of completing your paperwork for entry into the Homer Kelley Hall of Fame for Life! Of course, you're going to need to pay your AI fee first

I don't want to be the party pooper, and I know this doesn't really matter but...
Isn't the Impact Plane Line slightly above the ground since the Clubface rarely contacts the ball right at the bottom? The lower the loft of the club at Impact, the more 'above ground' or towards the equater the Impact Plane Line becomes.

The Impact Plane Line (the true Geometric Plane Line per 2-J-3, 2-N-0 and 7-5), the Visual Equivalents (2-J-3) and the Delivery Paths (10-23) appear to the player to be:
"...inscribed on a horizontal surface -- that is, ON THE GROUND. This is an optical illusion that, when understood and utilized, offers tremendous advantages because it furnishes very apparent equivalents to an invisible basic."
-- Homer Kelley (2-N-0)
So, Leo, just swing toward the ground. You'll be all right!
