This is a foggy area to me. How does 1-L #9 fit into the Straight Line Delivery Path? Or is it just a straight line effort? Please explain!

Both the Hands and the Clubhead require Down Plane Guidance.

The selected Line Delivery Path (7-23) guides the Hands Down Plane ('straight line' Thrust toward the Aiming Point). See also the Endless Belt Effect (2-K #6) and its implied Top (of the Line Delivery Path) and Release (bottom of the Path). See Photo 9-3-6, at Top and Release, and the shadowed arrow illustrating the straight line direction of Thrust.

In contrast, 'Tracing' (with the #3 Pressure Point and Right Forearm) the selected Straight Line Delivery Line (the Plane Line per 7-5) guides the Clubhead Down Plane (and results in the curved Clubhead Blur -- Arc of Approach and Attack).

Through Impact, these two Components -- Delivery Path and Delivery Line -- produce identical Clubhead orbits (the Clubhead Line-of-Flight per 2-N-0). Thus, though the Hands' Thrust -- Muscular (Hitting) or Centrifugal (Swinging) -- is Straight Line, the Lever Assembly itself moves in a circle.

Practice each Component diligently -- but separately.
