7-3 MAGIC RF AND VISUAL EQUIVALENTS
 

PER 1-F "The “mystery” of the Mechanics of Golf fades away when Right Arm participation is understood (6-B-1)." PER 7-3 “it is absolutely MANDATORY that, Hitting or Swinging, it is the Right Forearm – not just the Right Hand and/or Clubshaft – that must be thrown, or driven, into Impact per 7-2-3.” PER 2-F "The Right Forearm of every Hacker comes into Impact too high – pointing beyond the Delivery Line during Downstroke"

SO MR. K THOUGHT THE "STUMP" IS PRETTY IMPORTANT. HOW IS THE RIGHT FOREARM VIEWED IN SETTING UP THE STROKE AND DIRECTION OF THRUST AT FIX? I'M INTERESTED IN PRECISELY HOW TO POINT THE RIGHT FOREARM AND HOW TO DRIVE IT . . .
PER 2-N-0
"The Angle of Approach Line, the Delivery Paths (10-23), the Plane Lines (2-F), and their Visual Equivalents (2-J-3) are all inscribed on the face of the Inclined Plane, but appear to the player as if inscribed on a horizontal surface – that is, ON THE GROUND. This is an optical illusion that, when understood and utilized (2-P, 2-J-3), offers tremendous advantages because it furnishes very apparent equivalents to an invisible basic."

AND PER 7-3:
"ALWAYS, for all procedures, the Right Forearm is position “On Plane” – pointing at the Plane Line as the Angle of Attack (2-N). The On Plane Right Forearm shows the precise up-and-down direction it and the Clubshaft must take throughout the Stroke (2-J-3). The “Angle of Approach” position of the Right Forearm shows the precise Cross-Line direction the Forearm must take through Impact. It, thereby, precisely locates the visual Impact Point – where the eye must direct the Pressure Point #3 – the inside-aft quadrant of the Ball."

SO IF WE HAVE ESTABLISHED THE CORRECT ON PLANE RIGHT FOREARM POSITION AT FIX AND EXTEND A LINE (DOWEL) DOWN THE FOREARM TO THE PLANE, THE FOREARM POINTS THREE DIMENSIONALLY CROSS LINE AND DOWNWARD.

SHOULD YOU CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE FOREARM AND THRUST DOWN THE RIGHT FOREARM ANGLE OF APPROACH? DOWN PLANE AND CROSS LINE TO RIGHT FIELD IN THE DIRECTION THE DOWEL EXTENDED FROM THE FOREARM POINTS?

SHOULD YOU CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE FOREARM AND THRUST DOWN THE RIGHT FOREARM ANGLE OF APPROACH? DOWN PLANE AND CROSS LINE TO RIGHT FIELD IN THE DIRECTION THE DOWEL EXTENDED FROM THE FOREARM POINTS?

Can anyone answer this question???

Tracing The Delivery Line
 

Swingers Trace the Geometric Plane Line with the Right Forearm. Hitters may also Trace this Line or, alternatively, its Visual Equivalent, the Angle of Approach. In both cases, the Clubhead will pass through the Impact Point and Low Point.

Re: Tracing The Delivery Line
 

I'm really fascinated with the Visual Equivalents. It's pretty cool to think that a person can set up and if they have a straight plane line, then you can see several alignments on the horizontal plane (the ground).

Question though: Why is the Angle of Approach the Visual Equivalent of the Straight Plane Line? And would tracing the Angle of Approach result in a different Plane Angle on the backstroke?

Thanks!

Confuscious Says: "It's Confusing!"
 

The Golfing Machine actually defines the Angle of Approach as the Geometric Equivalent of the Arc of Approach Visual Equivalent (the Clubhead Blur though Impact) of the Geometric Straight Plane Line (2-J-3).

Confusing enough?

I thought so.

Nevertheless, that's what it is.

However, in his taped Master Classes, Homer Kelley always referred to the Angle of Approach as a Visual Equivalent; specifically, of the Straight Line Baseline of the Inclined Plane that always serves as the Geometric Basis of the Stroke. It is through the Impact Point and Low Point established on this Inclined Plane that the straight-line Angle of Approach passes.

This Line may be visualized by the player as being on the ground. Hence, its classification as a Visual Equivalent. The Angle of Approach procedure results in a steeper Inclined Plane whose Line is Closed (to the Target) per 10-5-E. But, you don't Trace ('point at') this Line with the Clubhead -- you cover it. You do, however, Trace it with the Right Forearm.

Thanks Doc!

Mr. K must have been one amazing and original thinker. How did he come up with all this stuff? I know he did a lot of self-observation. What was that process like?

To catalog all the different component variations and just to come with the Visual Equivalents is mind numbing to me.

It's a shame that he's not with us to participate. I bet he would have loved to have the opportunity to reach people via the web.

Dang good to have you carrying the baton now though!

Run Forrest!!!!
