Can you define or clarify what you mean in two sections in your post?
A "True Swinger" utilizes the same Angle of Approach engineered into the Hook-Face of any Club and

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".

The Shaft has Two alignments. Vertical and Forward Angle. Most all Golf Clubs are designed by the Manufacturer so when the Shaft is Vertical (0 degree Lean) and aligned at a Precise Plane Angle (Length of Shaft), the clubface is aligned to the Target Line (Leading Edge and Lie Angle).

Three Intersecting Points in Space are needed. One is determined by Shaft Length (distance from the Hub - Plane Angle), One by Shaft Lean ("0" degrees from the Hub is a given by most - Trajectory! (not Loft)) and "Target Line" (Direction - the Wild Card). HK had a name for this Geometry. He named it "Low Point". And, descriptive of the Alignment setting connecting the Shaft to the Clubface he termed "Hookface". In an Elastic Collision, Low Point Impact produces Straight-away Flight. The Angle of Approach at Low Point is "0". Homer Kelley differentiates a "True Swinger" always uses the Inherent Angle of Approach, "0". But that's only the result. Read on to learn the cause, the really fascinating difference between a True Swinger and Hands Manipulated Swinger.

But HK knew that Collisions in Golf are not Elastic. The Golf Ball has resilience. The Ball, for it to respond to an Angular Force as though it were struck by a Linear Force, requires the Golfer to Sustain the Line of Compression (sustain the line until it can be aligned to the target - rotated). The Golf Ball will only stay deformed against the club-face for so long, and that changes per clubhead speed (because the ball doesn't change).

Now, the "Magic". Shorter Clubs have a more vertical Angle of Approach, giving an increase closing Ratio.... which compensates for the slower clubhead speed (lees time on the ball). So, A True Swinger does not Change the Right Forearm Angle of Approach to Manipulate the Line of Compression for changes in Ball Location.

"True Swinger" is more concept than reality and I do agree with you on this point (and many others except for "California" and your over-use of "Pharmacological Remedies"). "True Swinger" is like a control sample. It's always "0" - "0" - "0" and Low Point Impact. But for a Hands Manipulated Swinger it's about "Degrees". Each Ball Location distance away from Low Point needs more Manipulation. So, comparing the Hands Manipulated Swinger to the True Swinger gives us the same reference geometry so we can quantify when we talk about the Angle of Approach.
