Thanks O.B for fishing those posts up. From them I have picked up that yes I can trace the true geometric plane line but still not sure on the hip slide, should it be parallel if I trace the true geometric plane line or cross line?
Cheers!
Im not sure if a hitter should trace the true geometric plane. I dunno. But I think I remember Luke saying he sometimes did. This is such a confusing subject! I know Yoda recommended the swinger stay away from the straight line , covering of the angle of approach.
In regard to your last question, as Yoda stated "Per 7-12, all motions---Pivot and Power Package---move parallel to the selected Delivery Line". So I take that to mean that you should slide your hips (with the hip held back, but just enough to shift your weight left , no more, dont exaggerate,) down the target line OR the angle of approach depending on your preferred Delivery Line of the clubhead (and right arm for hitters).
Can I add some questions?
-Why/how is the plane steeper when using the angle of approach?
-Why does the hitter use/cover the Angle of Approach anyways? Something to do with the right elbow or thrust I bet. Direction of thrust.
-Does the Aiming Point for the person using the Angle of Approach move outside the true geometric plane or target line then?
-Why is the Angle of Approach method "uncentered". What does this mean? Has the Hitter lost the left shoulder as his swings center?
