ANGLE OF ATTACK AND APPROACH DRAWINGS

[oztrainee]

The Angle of Attack is the arbitrary straight line drawn Down Plane between Impact Point and Low Point. The Arc of Attack is the actual curved path the Clubhead Covers as it orbits Down Plane through the same two points, i.e., the curved Clubhead blur through Impact. The Angle of Approach and the Arc of Approach are those same two lines as seen by the player on the ground from his Above Plane view. These are illusions because they are actually inscribed on the face of the Plane.

As the Clubhead Covers the Arc of Attack and Arc of Approach, it always Traces ('points at' ) the true Geometric Plane Line, i.e., the straight Line Base Line of the Inclined Plane (normally the Target Line). In so doing, it neither traces nor covers the Angle of Attack or Angle of Approach.

So, except when using the Hitter's Angle of Approach procedure, the Clubhead never covers or traces the Angles of Attack or Approach. Instead, it covers the Arcs of Attack and Approach as it traces the Geometric Plane Line.

Thankfully, all this happens automatically when you 'Trace the Straight Plane Line' through Impact with the Right Forearm and #3 Pressure Point (Right Index Finger).

Said another way, through Impact, a correct Golf Stroke (performed with a laser beam at the Right Forefinger) will only Trace, i.e., point at, the true Geometric Plane Line. In so doing, the clubhead will always cover its Visual Equivalents, the Arc of Attack and the Arc of Approach. It will point at or cover the Angle of Attack and the Angle of Approach only at Impact and Low Point.

All this sounds tough, doesn't it? Stay with us and read this a year from now.

It will be animal crackers and duck soup.

It is not that tough with a bit of visual may be.
