Re-alining the Clubface square to the new Angle of Approach for Impact, the "Steeper" Plane Angle increases the Closing Ratio of the Right Forearm Angle of Approach. This can/will sustain the "Line of Compression" and create Straight-Away Flight using the Identical Low Point of the "Normal" (for any particular club) setup. Playing the Ball Back leads to much deeper divots.

So... a Hands Manipulated Swinger will have the Hands Ahead at Impact as dictated by the Right Forearm Angle of Approach.

A "True Swinger" utilizes the same Angle of Approach engineered into the Hook-Face of any Club and forgoes Manipulating the Clubface at Setup. Although Homer said that "True Swingers" can only use one location for - straight away flight - he assumes everyone knows that a True Swinger can hit Straight Shots from various Ball Locations by altering the Plane and Stance Lines thus causing "Straight Pushes" and "Straight Pulls".

So a True Swinger will not alter the geometry of the Golf Club but he will relocate "Low-Point" and his divot depth will always be the same. Homer is correct (as always), not many, if anyone uses this strategy. But not because they can't, but because it doesn't offer the depth of options needed to overcome playing conditions such as "Ball below the Feet" or hitting a Straight Shot from a "Downhill Lie" or hitting from 6" rough in the US Open.

So vary the "Low Point" or "Manipulate the Hands". It's all about choices. HK says the Golf Swing has many choices.

(all of this is readily explained and demonstrated in my video series - soon to be released)
I will be pulling the discussion further from the thread but now I am confused.

I thought I understood 7-2, Yes I do. In that line of thinking I also associate Horizontal hinging with swinging and angled hinging with hitting. any other hinge associations are manipulations. I was under the impression the rest of the geometry was "self correcting" . I guess I need a way to get un-connfused now.
