Thanks Yoda for the great video and stills of Ted's stroke. Your analysis has been very helpful. I'm still a little froggy on the description of the BACKSTROKE section. At first glance at the BACKSTROKE pic, my reaction was that looks steep. But based on your description, I figured I was missing something: "Ted's hands continue their journey to the Top on the steep Plane dictated by the Hitters Angle of Approach procedure (2-J-3)." per Collard Greens.
So when in doubt chase it down in the Yellow Book . . .
2-J-3 VISUAL EQUIVALENTS
The straight line ANGLE of Approach Delivery Line changes the Physics of Impact because the centered Angular Clubhead Momentum becomes and uncentered Linear Momentum out toward “Right Field” without ever returning to the original 10-5-A configuration during the Follow-through. This just arbitrarily requires a 10-5-E Closed Plane Line with a steeper Plane whose Angle agrees with the new Clubshaft motions so it can maintain a straight line relation to a straight line per 2-N-0.
Ok so Mr. K is saying the Angle of Approach is a straight line procedure towards "right field." Got that. But what about the Plane Line? 10-5-A is Square. So based on 10-5-A the Plane Line is is parallel to the Line of Flight. Ok cool.
But now the frog rolls in a bit . . . the new Clubshaft motion is based on 10-5-A. 10-5-A is Closed so the Plane Line is rotated clockwise towards "right field" as compared to the Line of Flight.
Question: Is Ted's Stance Square to the LOF but his Plane Line is Closed to the LOF? So with Angle of Approach procedures you are NOT using a Square to the LOF Plane Line, right?
Next task: Chase down 2-N-0
2-N-0 CLUBHEAD LINE OF FLIGHT (IN GEOMETRY OF THE CIRCLE)
This “Delivery Line” procedure (in this case Angle of Approach?) completely replaces the geometric Plane Line (2-F) and the Target Line because these were established at Impact Fix (7-8 ) according to the intended Hinge Action (2-J-1) and Stance Line (10-5) requirements, and their control is completely automatic. Both the Lag Pressure Point and the Clubshaft must so relate to the selected Plane OR Angle of Approach – to the geometric or the visual – but don’t try to Monitor both at the same time, though equally dependable, they need not be identical in execution AS LONG AS THE CLUBSHAFT HOLDS A STRAIGHT LINE RELATIONSHIP TO A STRAIGHT LINE – POINTING AT A STRAIGHT LINE.
So we are to replace the "geometric" Plane Line (which I assume he means the 10-5-A Square Plane Line) with the Closed 10-5-E to "right field" line.
Is this why Ted's BACKSTROKE pic looks "steep" because he is tracing the Angle of Approach delivery line? AND after the ball is struck, and the club travels in and up, should Clubshafts On-Plane relation be to the "right field" 10-5-E Plane Line or the Square to the LOF 10-5-A Plane Line?
Sorry for the epic post. I have a stomach ache in my head. Time for night night.
