interesting. Can you support this? Its not in the book. Is it in the audio tapes? Not saying I disagree .... just wondering.

Also isn't the Angle of Approach a Visual Equivalent? Meaning its only visible from the golfers eye line?

Do you have a copy of the 6th Edition? If so, then you're in luck, because on page 32 Homer Kelley explains that the "Arc of Approach" is the Visual Equivalent of the Geometry of the "Angle of Approach", which is a "straight line through the Impact and Low Points".

2-J-3 VISUAL EQUIVALENTS Delivery Paths (7-23) guide the Hands but Delivery Lines are needed to guide the Clubhead and the Right Forearm (5-0). The true geometric Plane Line is the Basic Delivery Line. But it has a very useful Visual Equivalent – the curved blur of the Clubhead path during the Address Routine and again through Release and Impact, which can be executed as a Visual ARC of Approach Delivery Line per Sketch 2-C-1-#2B. Per Sketch 2-C-1-#3 the ANGLE of Approach straight line through the Impact and Low Points is its geometric equivalent. So the two procedures are always interchangeable, but the “Arc” is the most compatible with the “On Line” Swing and the “Line” with the “Cross Line Hit” (7-23) and herein they are so paired.

"Low Point" is not a Location, it's an Alignment. The Alignment uses the basic geometry that's built into all Golf Clubs by All Manufacturers; "Neutral Hookface". The Shaft (Cog) moves On-Plane. The Target Line represents the Geometry of the Clubface (which is a re-alignment of the shaft). All Clubs have a Built-in Low Point. The Location of Low-Point forward or Aft of your Hinge Pin(s) is up to you. Your choice.

Low Point is the Intersection of the Clubhead Orbit with the Geometry of the Clubface (Target Line) that produces Straight-Away Ball Flight when the Shaft at 90 degrees to the Target Line. Neutral Hookface.

Straight-Away Ball Flight can be produced if the Ball is moved back on Orbit but not Forward of Low Point. When the Ball is moved back on the Orbit of the Clubhead, it rises above the ground. Then we Tilt the Plane (from the Plane Angle reference point) until the Ball returns to the Ground. Adjust the Hookface for Squareness at separation. The Steeper Plane Angle adjusts the Closing Ratio of the Right Forearm Angle of Approach which will "Sustain the Line of Compression" on the Plane of the "Basic Plane" of the chosen Hinge Action (Horizontal, Angled, Vertical). In "Laymans" terms, as the ball is moved back in your stance, it must also be moved "IN". This is all in the "Book", Chapter Two.

One must understand the "Right Forearm Angle of Approach". My up-coming Video's, hopefully available this Spring, will make TGM very easy to understand.
