There's right field, Rich...and there's the crowd downing hot dogs to the right of the foul line. If those folks watch you swing and start yelling "Incoming!"...you are officially Under Plane, i.e., coming at the Ball too much from the inside, thereby producing an Inside-Out Stroke. But not to worry, because if the Blade is anywhere near Square as you move through Impact, that Ball ain't headed Right. We're talkin' clotheshanger Blue Darters here.

This is in contrast to the correct On Plane Right Forearm and #3 Pressure Point (Right Forefinger) Tracing down the Plane Line from Impact Point to Low Point. This correct Plane Line Tracing produces only an Inside Out Impact (1-L-13/15/16) -- not an Inside-Out Stroke -- and perfectly straight Shots. There is a difference.

And that difference is measured in the decibel level from the Tee Box:

Fore Left!!

Study 2-F (the Inclined Plane); 2-N-0 (the Clubhead Line-of-Flight); and 2-J-2 (Inside-Out Impact).

So, it isn't so much the clubhead moving inside out as it is the clubface, being slightly open, contacting the ball on the inside aft quadrant?
