The intent of the graphic was to show relationships. Including the LOC would require adjustment, need to think about this.

Ball Height is CRITICAL to Low Point and to Ball Position. Also Ball Position is critical to Angle/Arc of Attack.

If you were to position a golf ball in what would be your normal position, say for a 7 iron. Let say that was 1 inch forward of the center of your stance.

Now without making any adjustments, place a ball located off your rear foot, resting on the ground as was the original ball.

With the 7 iron how would you be able to hit the ball nearest your rear foot? Without adjusting your body or swing, what adjustments do you need to do to the ball to be able to make impact with the sweetspot of the club? Raise the Ball? Move the Ball in closer to the rear foot?

Granted doing this will not send the ball along the same target line that the center ball would, but this allows you to see the 3 dimensional golf stroke, backward, in and up, forward down and out.

When a golfer decides to change ball location, the golfer is required to make other adjustments as well to keep the 3 dimensional stoke in tact and make good contact.

Ever give much thought about hitting a ball which is lodged in a bush? Do you set up as normal but that the ball is just teed high?

Martee . . . I don't think the ball in relation to the ground has anything to do with it. Could be wrong though . . . but Low Point has no relationship to the ground. Its relationship is to the left shoulder. Regardless of where the ball is air or ground, there is a low point. You could tee up a driver and play it way back in from low point and still hit it. You'd just have to go out more right? Heck if I know.

Anyway . . . The Line of Compression is the Principle of Golf so it HAS to be relevant to the discussion.

LINE OF COMPRESSION Example – bullet hole through a baseball
Mechanical – the line through center of that area from which material flows when displaced by a compressing force.
Golf – The direction of the Impact Force, as related to the various centerlines, for determining Ball Behavior

My arguement would be the following:

Per 1-L #10,13, 14, & 15

10. The Lever Assembly must be driven through Impact by an On Plane force (moving toward the Plane Line).
13. The Clubhead travels Down-and-Out until it reaches its “Low Point.”
14. Divots are taken “Down-and-Out” – not just “Down.”
15. The Club starts up-and-in after “Low Point” but thrust continues down plane during the Follow-Through.

So the Line of Compression would have a relationship (or be along) the Angle of Approach which would just be the line connecting the Impact Point and Low Point?
