So, is the inclined plane at the core of these ideas ? Compared to croquet, which is played on a verticle plane....the thrust is only vertically down. Compared to billiards, which is played on a horizontal plane...the thrust is only forward(or is it out ? not sure about that).
But, like hockey, we operate on an inclined plane. So the thrust must go down and out. From the Tom Tomasello videos: "swing to right field and the ball will go towards the pitcher."
The golf swing is the result of two divergent forces.
As a little side question, is it correct that the right forearm at impact fix dictates where the delivery line is?

If you wanna check out some golf like movement check out some field hockey pics. My boy lagster put me on to that. It's uncanny.
The Right Forearm at Fix does approximate the Angle of Approach Delivery Line if you just imagine a line on the ground parallel to your on-plane Right Forearm . . . But Mr. K said that you didn't have to be precise about the Angle of Approach . . . just go out to right field. You can also imagine a curved line sort of parallel to the forearm to get an idea of the Arc of Approach.
The whole parallel to the forearm thing is in the 5th 2-J-3 . .. but it didn't make it to the 6th or 7th. Too bad. I thought that was pure genius.
