If I can add- Down and Out is not two moves but one move down an incline swing plane- preferably the one you came up on, out to the ball as the hands drive to the aiming point perparing to put #3 pp on the ball. I think some see it as a dip of the shoulder and then an out move to the ball. The shoulder rides the incline plane.
I think this is a very important point to make, especially for beginners. Last fall, before I discovered TGM, I was experimenting with trying to drop my hands straight down from the top and then curving out. Some decent shots can be hit this way, but if feels really awkward and it is hard to be consistent. Actually now that I think about it, the good shots may have just had this feeling but were really on plane. Staying on plane the whole way is a much more intuitive and feels oh so much better.
IMO I don´t think that many people use the Arc of Approach and the Angle of Approach. I think it´s easier to trace the true geometric Plane Line with your #3 pp (all three are Visual Equivalents).

DDL your swedish is not to bad. Thank you in swedish is tack. You missed a c. Tak is roof in swedish.

LOL. Maybe it was Danish I was thinking of. Satans osse is the only other Danish I know.
My short term goal is to improve my wobbly pivot and hence my inquiries about constructing a line on the ground to the right, which I guess would ensure I am rotating my right shoulder and upper body around my spine downplane.
Currently, I am practicing pivot controlled hands by focusing on maintaining a motionless, stationary pivot center( base of the back of my neck).
THe true geometric plane line aka target line, goes forward. I don't think it is possible to 'trace' the plane line with my right shoulder without coming over the top.
If I keep my pivot center stationary without bobbing or swaying, and trace the plane line forward with PP#3 via body rotation, will that be sufficient to train my upper body and right shoulder to rotate downplane, and correctly train the down and out motion of the power package?
When I practice acquired motion, I construct an imaginary line from my right shoulder through the ball, and rotate my upper body along that line while focusing on keeping the pivot center stationary. With full swings, I add a slight hip slide at startdown.
I've read reports from others in other forums about the successes they have had when attempting to strike the ball to the right.
bad lingua there DDL
