Collards,

Annikan Skywalker and I were discussing the Geometry, Visual Equivalence, and Practical Applications of this thread. I was making the point that well the Proxy Plane Line is just a theoretical thing. How could you apply it practically without just saying Cross Line is just "Out to Right Field?"

Skywalker made a good point on the Practical Application of this discussion that I think my simplify things a bit . . .

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!
