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). Confusing to me - However I think I got it - the vertical alignment is from the face on perspective if you are observing a golfer - how the shaft relates to vertical. What you call the Forward Angle is the Lie angle- the down the line view in relation to the horizontal. However the shaft can lean forward of vertical - at a certain lie angle - and still have the clubface aligned to the target. Your post implies to me that only when vertical will the face be aligned to the target.

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))What's the differentiation you are making between Trajectory and not loft in this section? and "Target Line" (Direction - the Wild Card). I'm not sure how plane angle would affect low point - please explain? Also, I can see how directly under the HUB would determine lowpoint but changing the plane angle - I don't see that changing lowpoint by itself. 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". Please define "alignment setting" - simple and short will do. 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, Angle of approach is a line of the ground - do you mean a sharper angle of approach or do you mean a more vertical angle of attack? 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.

Call me slow but your post didn't answer my questions for me. You have to keep it simple for me. See my questions above in your post/quote. I need to determine your frame of reference, hence the questions before I can understand if it matches mine.

1) In the original post where I added in red - "for straight shots only" - Was that a correct perspective from your viewpoint? Yes Or No
