I had a couple of minutes at lunch to do this, so I hope it makes the point. I had to hurry; I had someone waiting.
You can get a perspective in how the camera angle changed by looking at my left foot. On the 10-5-A camera angle (on left), you can see more of my left foot. On the 10-5-E camera angle (on right), you can see less. The picture on the right has the camera looking down the plane that points out to right field.
Understand that the pictures are comparisons: 1&2, 3&4, and 5&6.

Teddy...two camera angles of the same swing using 2 different cameras?....
Not the same swing. I had one camera to use and no time. But, I did one swing, moved it to the angle of approach, and shot another. When I have more time, I'll do the two camera gig.
Ted, this is a good time for me to clear something up that has been confusing me. I believe that I had read in previour posts that you like to set up a little open, is that open to your 10-5-E plane line? And would this give the look that your feet(maybe whole body?) was square to the 10-5-A line as seen by somebody standing directly behind you? Hope this question makes sense.

My intent here was to use the Closed-Closed, with the idea to match the picture in the book. I do prefer to use the Closed-Open, in most of my play as it is one of the stance variations possible when using 10-5-E. I find that the Open stance restricts my stroke and enables me to stop at Top. I prefer to keep it as short as possible for all clubs. If I find myself taking it back too far, I find it increasingly difficult to sustain the thrust and the Loading changes. Even in taking these two videos, I found myself taking it back much farther that the position from which I like to play. In using the Closed-Closed, I find my hips are able to turn too freely.
With regard to your question, in 10-5-0 he says that "the second term refers to the Stance Line (Feet only) and denotes the relation of each Line to the Line of Flight." I play best from Closed-Open to Closed-Square. As a personal preference, I don't like the Closed-Closed.
Actually that helps a great deal, thanks Ted. A couple of other things that are still murky for me, I believe that it is mentioned that in Hitting one should used a progressivly closed clubface at address for longer and longer shots, I understand the rationale but closed compared to what? the plane line?
Also, which plane angle do you prefer to use in your pattern? Turned shoulder (10-6-B)?
