is there an arc of the hands from release point to impact hand location with the line delivery paths? would this arc of the hands make it so the straight line thrust from the top to release or the straight line thrust from top to impact hand location are not equivalent?
would a straight line path from top to impact hand location lead to "too much foward lean" and/or swaying?

Deliver LINES are for the Clubhead and Delivery PATHS are for the Hands. If you have a chance to look over the Delivery Path pics in Chapter 10 you'll notice that even with the Straight Line Paths there is an "arc" at the bottom. So this would be the Pulley portion of the Endless Belt. So you can jack your swing up by using Straight Line Delivery Path and a very small pulley and Maximum Trigger Delay ala Sergio. The opposite would be to use a big CIRCLE Path ala Tom Watson.

Not only is there an "arc" at the bottom, but there can also be an Arc at the Top really End. So if you are a Swinger and go to End, then you would Arc back to the Straight Line portion of the Delivery Path. But the Hitter who Ends at Top is basically stopping his backstroke at the TOP of the Straight Line Delivery Path and thus has no need to Arc back from End to the Straight Line Portion. So there can be a Pulley at the top of the Belt and the bottom.

The hands will always move in a circular path somewhere because they are connected to the arms and thus to the shoulders. Keep in mind . . . only thing round about a circle is its circumference . . . everything else is a straight line . . . Radius, Ray, Tangent, Diameter etc. Mr. K said that even with Circle Path the effort is straight line . . . I think that's in there somewhere.

Don't know if I answered your question though.
