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(for straight shots). 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 "re-align the Club". "True" vs. "Manipulated". In other words, "change your Alignment" or "Change the Clubs Alignment". 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)

Juicy stuff Daryl!
Lots of opportunity for clarification and learning here. Your first paragraph - took me a little time to understand it - probably will fly over the heads of many. Specifically, it's a procedure for moving the ball back for the manipulated swinger or hitter and still hit a straight shot with a steeper angle of attack and lower ball flight.
Check what I added in
red in your quote above and see if you agree.
Can you define or clarify what you mean in two sections in your post?

And HB is correct - 7-2 is probably one of the more relevant sections that relates to this thread. HB - As a side note - not sure how you quoted Daryl above but it looks like it was originally posted by me which is unfortunate. I'm assuming you are just using the quote button? Daryl actually has a quote a couple above that where the same thing happened - it was my quote but says originally posted by Bumpy.
