Out of curiousity, do you further steepen the plane and trace it with your right forearm per 5-0, or do you just monitor the clubhead covering through you hands? Basically, what's your swing thought when using Angle of Approach?
The Right Forearm always Traces -- points at -- one of the three selected Delivery Lines (2-J-3):
1. The True Geometric Plane Line (usually the Target Line);
2. The Arc of Approach;
3. The Angle of Approach.
The Clubhead may Trace -- point at -- the True Geometric Plane Line and simultaneously cover the Arc of Approach. Alternatively, the Clubhead may simply cover -- not Trace -- the Angle of Approach.

Y & YL,
Inbucator working to max regarding this one.
If my right forearm traces one of the 3 delivery lines - Which will my sweetspot trace/cover?
I´ve got the impression from the promotors of Vision Tracker that even if I trace nr 1 the sweetspot will come on the Alternate Target Line

Mainly, I cover the line with the Clubhead. It forces the steepness of the Plane. Homer was asked why it was such a good procedure. And, he said he didn't really know. But, he thought it might be because it went so well with Steering.
Hi Ted, (my bold in your quotes)
You mean that it is a form of "Geometrically educated" steering?
ie. take a golfer who has , through incorrect knowledge, been steering the clubhead along the ball to target line...
Allow them to keep a steering staright line clubhead concept...but re-educate them as to the line that needs to be covered??

If you trace the Arc of approach, would'nt that bend the plane line?

Is that right??
It's not my idea. That was Homer's idea, when asked about the Angle of Approach Delivery Line.
As the Plane approaches Vertical, the Hinge Action approaches Vertical Hinging. If the Plane becomes more Horizontal, the Hinge Action would approach Horizontal Hinging.
I would pay large sums of $$$$ to have been a fly on the wall in Homer's garage, when Lynn was taking his Master's class. (Although, I would have still been in diapers ) I think Yoda had a club in his hands when Homer was trying to get everyone to see the Angle of Approach. Homer seemed to have an infinite amount of patience, but you could hear a slight frustration in his voice when he was trying to get everyone to ignore the Clubshaft. It sounded like everyone was still trying to see a visual arc, when using the new Delivery Line. I'm sure Yoda could give a better account of the situation, since all I've heard is the audio.
I think what truly blows my mind is the fact that Homer visualized and developed this procedure. Obviously, this wasn't and still isn't something that was considered or seen as a way to deliver the clubhead. I'd have to say the man was a GENIUS. He was way ahead of his time.
Hat's off to Homer for leaving us this wonderful work.

Yes, yes. This quote threw me off for a second, "It's steep, now remember. For this reason, you can't point at the line with the clubshaft. To point at the line with the right forearm, it's going to be a steeper plane."
I didn't thoroughly think through/understand what Homer was saying. At first I thought he was saying it's steep to begin with and if you trace it with the Right Forearm it will be STEEPER. A bit of a dumbspell on my part. Sometimes when trying to understand a more abstract concept my brain forgets the basics.
If you trace the Arc of approach, wouldn't that bend the plane line?
It depends on what is doing the tracing (of the Arc of Approach).
If you use your Right Forearm to trace, there is no bending of the Geometric Plane Line (the Baseline of the Inclined Plane). Remember, the Right Forearm simply is not long enough to cover the Arc of Approach; hence, it can only trace it. As the Right Forearm traces the Arc of Approach, the Clubheadcovers it (and the Clubshaft remains On Plane and pointing at the Plane Line).
However, if you use the Clubhead to trace, then you are correct. In this instance, the Plane Line will indeed be bent. In fact, it will be bent anew every split second of the stroke.
If my right forearm traces one of the 3 delivery lines - Which will my sweetspot trace/cover?
Again, the Right Forearm always traces the selected Delivery Line. Then, depending on the procedure being used, the Sweetspot covers either the Arc of Approach or the Angle of Approach.
Unless the player is deliberately employing a Steering (3-F-7-A) technique, the Sweetspot never covers the Geometric Plane Line (Baseline of the Inclined Plane). Except, of course, at the Separation of Ball and Clubface after Impact.
Please explain,I,m confused,I have been pointing my shaft at target line,mind you,the hit is still good,perhaps a little low,but they fly straight as arrows.(the good ones).I realise you are saying,"ignore shaft",but ,what and how do we ensure c/head is on plane,if in fact the clubshaft is more vertical,would this make one feel "lag" more so?.This is a great thread guys ,me,I still looking for answers.Dont think I,ll ever go back to swingers pattern again,love the feel of the "HIT"

It's much appreciated.
