In his Hitting Stroke, Annikan uses a Double Shift Plane Angle Variation (10-7-C) -- a Shift from the Elbow Plane to the Turned Shoulder Plane and back again. From the Top, he uses its compatible Delivery Path, Top Arc and Angled Line (10-23-D) wherein his Hands drop vertically from the Turned Shoulder Plane to the Elbow Plane before beginning their Straight Line Drive toward the Ball. Check out the yellow dots defining the Delivery Path. Note the three vertical dots opposite the Right Shoulder and torso, and compare them against the backdrop of the frame of the mirror in the background and assure yourself that they do indeed lie in a straight line. This is the 'vertical drop' from the Turned Shoulder Plane to the Elbow Plane and aligns the Hands for their Straight Line Thrust toward the inside-aft quadrant of the Ball.
All this is 'proof positive' that the four Straight Line Delivery Paths are possible (courtesy of Downstroke Axis Tilt via Hip Slide). There are those who say that the Hands can move only in a Circle (Circle Path Delivery), a contention that would make the Straight Line Delivery Paths an impossibility and hence the catalogued Variations bogus.

If the Hands are a portion of the Lever Assembly and they do not move in a circle as your 'proof positive' demonstrates, haven't you negated 1-L-8 and 1-L-9?
1-L-8. No portion of the Lever Assembly can swing forward independently.
1-L-9. Regardless of how the Lever Assembly is driven, it moves in a circle.

The Hands move in a straight line for only a brief period, whilst the Lever Assembly (the whole of Left Arm and Club) moves in a circle around the left shoulder socket.
How can the Hands move in a straight line but the Lever Assembly move in a circle simulatenously? The answer is the Axis Tilt during Start Down performed with a Stationary Head and Hip Slide towards your selected Delivery Line.

As per 1-L-21, how would you demonstrate your contention geometrically?

1-L-21 is referring to Machine relationships. We humans are not machines and have extra components that make the Golf Stroke more complicated. This is why you cannot demonstrate Axis Tilt or slide Hip Slide on the geometrical figure of 1-L.

Thanks Tongzilla. I think it was my interpretation of 1-L that has led me astray.
1-L THE MACHINE CONCEPT It is soon apparent that the body can duplicate a machine. Grasp the parallel and escape limiting old concepts.
