"Summing up the Right Arm action-it is always a straight line effort and/or motion and normally is strictly clubhead control".

How does this square with a circle or arc type delivery path?

Are thrust direction and delivery path different?

I've never looked at the swing in terms of an endless belt as pictured in the delivery path photos so this is puzzling.

Yes, Thrust direction and the path that the hands make on the plane are two different things. Likewise, the Thrust direction and the path the clubhead makes are two different things.

One example in regards to the Clubhead path- or "Delivery Line" - is at low point normally the right elbow is still bent. As the clubhead moves up and in after low point, the thrust continues down towards the plane line until both arms straight.

One example in regards to the Hands path- or "Delivery Path" - is his quote in the 6th edition page 83 the last sentence in section 1- "The Hands must ALWAYS take one of the Delivery Paths (10-23) but even with the Circle Path, the Thrust is still a straightline EFFORT toward the Aiming Point. And even "Tracing" (5-0) must not disrupt it.

I don't have the 7th edition in front of me- but I'm assuming that A) the quote you used is from the 7th edition? and I'd guess that B) It may have been added to or replaced part of the section that I quoted from the 6th edition.

Section 7-23 has some information that might help you on this also.

That's a start
