Either type of swing should approach on the alternate target line; one uses the arc of approach the other the angle of approach.
I can see that the alternate target lines (arc vs angle of approach) are similar on the approach. But what happens after low point? And per this thread, what is the effect on divot direction?
If using the angle of approach procedure, the clubhead continues to cover the alternate target line out to right field - "above" rather than "on" the original inclined plane. This is well described in another thread http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/forum/s...ead.php?t=5145.
By comparison, I believe the swingers arc of approach procedure has the clubhead remaining on the original inclined plane prior to and after low point.
Based on the above, I would imagine that divot direction for the "cross line" hit would be out to right field in comparison to an "on line" swing.
