why straight?

The above image is of an inclined plane. There is only point on that plane that is more right than all the others. If that point points at the target and the ball impact is separated anytime before that point(while pointing at the target), the path of the club is going down, out and forward.

No straight shot.

Exactly what point is that? Can I hit a High straight or a Low straight shot?

Exactly what point is that? Can I hit a High straight or a Low straight shot?

The point of that is with a solid strike, as I understand it, with the impact plane(chord of the circle pointing at the target) and the straight low plane line(tangent of the circle) being parallel to the target but right of it, a straight shot is not going to happen ever.

If you have the requisite skills, low shots and high shots can be straight for sure.
