If you can imagine a circle lying on a flat surface, a Plane. If two marks were made on the Plane (Impact and Low Point), the circle could touch those points if laid flat on the Plane. Or, the circle could pass through the surface of the original Plane, touching only those two points. This would represent a steeper circle that satisfies Impact and Low Point, or a new steeper Plane.
The Sweet Spot is the thing that needs to travel on Plane.
If you can find this information ANYWHERE else, you've had better luck than me. Because, I've looked. And, don't try to hurry the process. Some of these things just have to incubate.

As an aside, anyone that attended the Falcon's Fire school saw the most remarkable transformation that I've ever seen when someone changed to 10-5-E.
8cork was remarkable in almost no time when he tried the procedure. He went from shanking every ball to pure 3-D Impact. I know his life changed that day, and I think he still shoots in the 70's. I have no idea what his scores were with the shanks.
Thanks Ted. That day in Florida completely changed my golfing life. My wife is also very thankful because I now spend much more time with the family than on that obsessive search for the perfect golf swing. I don't overthink anything anymore, 10-5-E is second nature for me. Just trust the Geometry.
I played last week for the first time in a couple of weeks. That's a long layoff for me. After a few range balls to loosen up, I went out with a 35, not as solid on the back but I managed a 75 that day. Not bad for a 10 handicap 6 to 8 months ago.

Two weeks off and out in 35...that's great for anyone. Have you gone under par for 18 yet?

I shot 70 in August off the white tees 6460 yds. I really don't want to count that. I shot 73 1 over at the ironhorse course at Vanderbilt legends club from the tips. Probably the best I have ever played. I also shot 3 under on my home course from the tips with the club pro on a nine hole lesson round. That was very cool, I nipped him by 2 strokes. Needless to say, I didn't learn much that day.
I don't mean to be bragging, but everyone should know that Homer's work, applied by LBG is a deadly combination.

Those are great results. Keep up the good work.
You know that I play at the Legends every time I go to see my best friend in Franklin, TN. I'll have to tell you next time I come, so we can tee it up.
Being fairly new to the site. I believe your statement is 100 percent accurate concerning the archives at Lynnblakegolf.com. They are a vast treasure. I hope they are protected.

Thank you so much for posting. I would have responded sooner but my cable modem has been toast. It only takes close to a week to get a cable tech to come out to the house. Gotta love the rural life. Nothing happens quickly.
Anyway, those quotes from Homer confim my findings. In fiddling with the procedure I found exactly what he's saying to be true. I too was concerned because I found the travel of the club with the clubhead covering a straight line to be steep as can be. "Actually, it's a vertical plane for the clubhead" (slight pause) "slightly inclined." Feels odd at first. I kept working it though because I was trusting 2-J-3-B. I knew a circle on a inclined plane can appear to be a straight line from viewing circles at different angles. If you look directly down on a plate or hula-hoop, etc. you see a straight line. That object can be slightly tilted and still visually appear straight. By using Angle of Approach I find a Hitter is guaranteed inside-out impact. I like the straight line feel of the clubhead because it feels right with the straight line thrust of the right arm.
These ring particuarly true for me:
"You're not concerned with the clubshaft."
"The clubshaft seems to be immaterial."
"It represents a clubhead plane rather than a clubshaft plane."
"Line momentum of the clubhead."
I'm still not sure why 10-5-0 reads the way it does about synchronizing by laying the shaft on the line. Especially when he says this in a Master's class, "It's not a true on plane motion." I'm still thinking on that one.
So, from the posts and my own findings it seems the thing to do is: setup with proper alignments at Impact Fix, locate the straight line Angle of Approach through impact and low points, let the Clubhead cover the delivery line and let 'er rip.
I like it.

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? I'm just starting to seriously explore using this procedure and wonder how someone whose well versed with it does it. Any recommendations?
I love Hitting and am so thankful this forum offers a place to learn, grow and increase one's knowledge and understanding of the Hitting Pattern. I like the feeling of control when Hitting. Your right there's not much information out there, but LBG is a treasure chest. Swinging always made me feel like a top when it spins off the table.

Thanks again.
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.
