Why Not the Angle of Approach Procedure?

The Swing looks a little more "swingy" and the Hit looks a little more "punchy."

Why do you "dis" the Angle of Approach? Super Ted is a-foaming at-the-mouth-Angle-of-Approach-rip-you-a-new-one-Hitter right? Mr. K LOVED the Angle of Approach procedure right?

Is your Hitting Trace different than your Swinging Trace?
Even to the trained eye, it is definitely easier to visually pick up the nuances 'in motion' versus 'freeze frame.' And for whatever the reason, it is also easier to detect the nuances 'in person' rather than on video. At least it is for me.

For the record, my dear friend and yesterday's birf'day boy, Bucket, I never "dissed" the Angle of Approach" procedure. I just choose not to use it. As you can see in the Hitter's Drive Loading Stroke Pattern (12-1-0), the listed Variation is the Square Plane Line (10-5-A). This is the Geometric basis of the Angle of Approach Visual Equivalent and, as such, is always the player's option.

If I had more time to devote to it, that could change. But for now, the steepness of the Backstroke feels artificial to me, and I could not trust it without a lot more work.

That said, Homer felt it was the most sophisticated application of the Hitting procedure. But he also said it wasn't worth the trouble for most players.

Ted goes back and forth between the two. Right now, I think he's 'forth,' but you will need to ask him!

I do like the Angle of Approach procedure. There are times that I'll use 10-5-A and times that I'll use 10-5-E. I like using E when I'm working on down and out thrust, and I find it very safe in competition. Since I only swing in demonstrating, I have little use for the 10-5-A, anymore.

It's personally entertaining to take a wedge, send it out about thirty degrees right of the target, and watch the ball go dead straight.

TeddyLawng. . . . What say you about the Divergence of the Delivery Line and the Clubface?

I think many would assume that the above quote I bolded would result in a big fat hook . . . Tell 'em why it just ain't so! That is the beauty of the Angle of Approach Procedure . . . it ain't for girlie mens is it?!?!
