I think that I originally laboured under belief that Hitting was always - angle of approach/ cross line hip slide - and swinging was always arc of approach.

Recently , and moreso after reading this thread, i understand that hitting can be done either cross line/ angle of approach OR ( like Yoda) in-line / arc of approach.

As i see it Arc of approach is a direct equivalent to "straight plane line tracing" but both are seperate from "angle of approach"

Any time pp3 traces a straight plane line( square - square) you will naturally have an angle of approach procedure( ie. there will be an arc of clubhead blur causing inside out impact but inline/onplane motion)... you get to choose what image you want to see for yourself but the alignment is the same.

Arc of approach is purely for hitters when the target line of flight is different to the plane line? maybe and your motion is crossline?... gettting a bit vague here!

Anybody confirm this? Thanks

PS. Those old editions often explain things in a more straightforward manner... thanks bucket!
