Here's why:

You already know that the Hitter using the Angle of Approach procedure no longer monitors the true Geometric Plane Line of 1-L-6. Instead, he monitors its derivative -- its Geometric (and Visual) Equivalent (2-J-3) -- the Angle of Approach.

Now, here's your missing piece: The Angle of Approach is not a new true Geometric Plane Line (whether 10-5-E or otherwise). The original Geometric Plane Line, while no longer monitored, remains vitally important as the 'Basic Basic' from which the Angle of Approach was derived.

You can substitute the Geometric (Visual) Equivalent for the true Plane Line, but you can't substitue a new true Geometric Plane Line for the original!

Remember, any new true Geometric Plane Line means a new Angle of Approach and that, obviously, would be a problem.

Summarizing, the Hitter monitors the Angle of Approach, the Geometric Visual Equivalent of the one and only true Geometric Plane Line.

And 1-L-6 is satisfied by Covering this Geometric Equivalent with the Clubhead.
Yoda, the above post is a huge one for me to swallow. Wow! I've been trying to get you to say something like that for a few months, and you have finally done it, albeit after many questions from me! Just how you can keep such a huge "missing piece" from public for so long I don't understand. You may have implied it in your previous posts, but you never said it explicitly. I am so happy the word is out now.

By the way guys, 1-L-6 says:
"The Clubshaft always points at the Plane Line except when they are parallel to each other."

Do you think your post above is 100% compatible with Homer's comment:

"Delivery Lines can be "On Line" or "Cross Line" (2-J-3) -- Inside-out or Outside-in. All must be executed as Plane Lines with their individual Inclined Planes.

it's the "with their individual Inclined Planes" bit that's bugging me (or looking at it from another angle, it's your post that's bugging me ). You're saying that it should not be executed with its individual Inclined Plane

God Bless!
