Nonononono....that's just a swing thought...

Just cause you think about that and not aiming point at the same time doesn't mean you won't do it....your hands have to be trained how to do it, but you shouldn't really have to think about it consciously after that...

And basically, when he says "Tracing the delivery line with the right forearm," you could think of it as pointing the shaft at the delivery line...that works better for me personally.

Read what Yoda said:

"Homer described the Inclined Plane as "the heart and soul" of the golf Stroke. And Tracing the Delivery Line assures staying On Plane. The Delivery Line could be either the true Geometric Plane Line (Swinging) -- the straight line baseline of the Inclined Plane; or, the Angle of Approach (Hitting) -- the geometric equivalent of the Arc of Approach (2-J-3)."

So, for a swinger it might help to visualize the delivery line as basically the Plane Line- visualize it extending straight to the target (however, know that, in reality, it's a slight arc- Arc of Approach)...and trace it.

For a hitter, visualize the delivery line as going through the inside-aft quadrant of the ball, DOWN and OUT through low point, and straight out to "right field." Trace it. Drive your hands and clubhead down it.

"On Line Swing" vs. "Cross Line Hit."

If you have TGM...do yourself a favour and read 2-J-3. It's one page.
