yep . . . .geometry too though . . . . slide and also distance the hands have to travel . . . . thinking of a right triangle . . . . there is more vertical in the upright planes so the hands have to move down faster to stay on plane via #4 & #1 too right?

Lenght and Tilt
 

I could be way off on this but let me add something to this discussion. Would the length of the club have any bearing on this. Take two players, one standing and one kneeling, both with the same length clubshaft. Which player would require more axis tilt in order to get the right shoulder to move downplane?

Flatter plane works optimal with 2nd tilt happening later ( with more hip slide/ tailbone release)

Another conflict
 

The Practically Mandatory, in both directions, Combinations for procedures and delivery lines says:

1. The visual true arc and orbiting clubhead line with Circle Path.
2. The visual angle of approach line with drag loading.
3. The basic aiming point line with drive loading.
4. The left arm swing plane line, flip release. (pivot-controlled procedure) (The first I'd heard of this left arm swing plane line.)

And then it says,
"Drive loading calls for the angle of approach."
"Drag loading calls for the arc of approach.....which requires circle path."

(It says nothing about axis tilt enabling the line paths and the angle of approach delivery line, making it an option for drag loading.)

So the listing of Combinations and the discussions of lag loading characteristic combinations are conflicting.
Usually we say swingers use arc of approach, hitters use angle of approach and either can use Aiming Point or trace the basic geometric plane line.

Comments on the apparent Notes conflict? Mistranscribed, or updated in further revision?

Also, what is the significance of the clubhead moving above plane with momentum after impact with the angle of approach for swinging?
That's apparently been omitted in the 7th edition.
What compensation is required? Automatic? Is it a drawback?

Non-Pivot Strokes.

Left Arm Swing / Parallel Plane Line
 

See 10-6-D / Turning Shoulder Plane / '-B Version' (Vertical Left Arm Swing Plane).

Here:

The arms hang at Address and move in a simple back-and-forth up-and-down straight line path while utilizing the Throw-Out Action of Accumulator #3 [Left Arm and Clubshaft Angle] to 'flip' the Club 'on plane' past the Hands at The Top and 'in-line' with the Hands at Impact.

As always, remember that the selected Plane Angle (and its Base Line) is independent of the employed Release (10 / A-F).

:salut:

Ah, yes. Thanks, Yoda.

And the last question?

"Also, what is the significance of the clubhead moving above plane with momentum after impact with the angle of approach for swinging?

Thanks for posting this.

Anyone know of a TGM instructor or school in Ohio or even surrounding areas?

Thanks in advance
