7-3 Magic of the Right Forearm truly is MAGIC in this case.

The On Plane Right Forearm shows the precise up-and-down direction it and the Clubshaft must take throughout the Stroke (2-J-3). The “Angle of Approach” position of the Right Forearm shows the precise Cross-Line direction the Forearm must take through Impact. It, thereby, precisely locates the visual Impact Point – where the eye must direct the Pressure Point #3 – the inside-aft quadrant of the Ball.

If we go to Fix properly with our Right Forearm On-Plane, we can SEE the Right Forearm Angle of Approach per 7-3. NOW for the good part . . . Since the Right Forearm Angle of Approach is PARALLEL to the STRAIGHT LINE DELIVERY PATH we can get a feeling of these lines in 3 D. BUT per 2-N-0. . .

The Angle of Approach Line, the Delivery Paths (10-23), the Plane Lines (2-F), and their Visual Equivalents (2-J-3) are all inscribed on the face of the Inclined Plane, but appear to the player as if inscribed on a horizontal surface – that is, ON THE GROUND. This is an optical illusion that, when understood and utilized (2-P, 2-J-3).

Would it not follow that if we mentally construct a line PARALLEL to our On Plane Right Forearm at Fix from the Inside Quadrant of the ball that we have just defined going forward, we can define the Angle of Approach "as if inscribed . . .ON THE GROUND?" So is the Angle of Approach not a line parallel to the Right Forearm Angle of Approach?

Thanks!

I started a post yesterday on exactly this, but chickened out and went back to the book. Nice to see Skywalker confirming this. So mustering up some courage, I would say YES to your question. The right forearm can represent the Hitters Angle of Approach, as inscribed on the ground, which will be covered during the procedure.

If I may be even bolder, the right forearm angle shows you the following:
The visual Angle of Approach of the clubhead to the inside-aft quadrant of the ball
The Delivery path of the hands
The Swing plane and top location of the hands

In terms of the statement The On Plane Right Forearm shows the precise up-and-down direction it and the Clubshaft must take throughout the Stroke (2-J-3). Make sure the clubshaft is set up on the plane you want to use at impact fix, e.g. The Turned Shoulder Plane. We have a video of Ben showing the planes at address.

Here comes that big green hand to either slap me on the head or pat me on the back.
