You are right, Martee. The three terms refer to the same straight line to the Target. However, the Target Line can be differentiated from the Flight Line/Line of Flight in perspective.

Target Line refers to the straight Line ("straightaway direction of Aim") from the Ball to the Target, and the label emphasizes the ultimate destination. The terms Flight Line and Line of Flight likewise refer to the straight line from the Ball to the Target. However, these labels emphasize the normally-intended straight line Ball Flight.

The Plane Line -- the Base Line of the Inclined Plane -- intersects the Target Line (or, if you will, the Flight Line) as either Square, Open or Closed. Flight Path refers to the total Ball Behavior (including the curve produced by any divergence of the Plane Line and Target Line/Flight Line) on the way to the Target.

The Stance Line intersects the Plane Line as Square, Open or Closed, but has no effect on the direction of the Plane Line. Hence, it has no effect on the Flight Path (total Ball Behavior). Instead, the Stance affects only the Pivot, i.e., Open Stance (restricted Backstroke and free Follow-Through) versus Closed Stance (free Backstroke and restricted Follow-Through).

GREAT!!!!

Now for part two...this is where I go into the dump...

The only thing that has driven me bonkers is 2-F paragraph 3 where it is stated "Whenever the Clubshaft is parallel to the ground it must also be parallel to the base line of the Inclined Plane (7-5/10-5 Plane Line as I understand it) which is usually (but not always) the Line of Flight also."

This reads that the base line of the Inclined Plane is on the same line as the Line of Flight (on top of it), but our definition and understanding says that the three line, the stance line, plane line (base of Inclined Plane) and Target Line/Line of Flight/Flight Line are parallel to each for a straight shot or that the first two can cross/interest withe the Target Line/Line of Flight/Flight Line.

If it were to have said that it was the Sweet Spot Plane Line vs base of the Inclined Plane then it could be accurate.

I really believe based on my search that it should read that it is parallel both lines (usually) and should not indicate they are one of the same lines.
