Planes, Lines, and Words

[EdZ]

If this post doesn't move the thread to the lab, I've done all I can do.

I was thinking more of the shape of a cone. Imagine a golfer standing in a Plane. Now, imagine the plane of the base of the cone is placed on the golfer's Plane, with it's vertex extended somewhere out and in front of the golfer's face (above Plane).

If the Sweet Spot traveled in a perfect circle, a machine could be built. Because of the true elliptical shape of the Sweet Spot travel on the Plane (not a perfect circle), it cannot be a right (triangle) cone with a constant length of "s" (slant). It would have to be an elliptical cone, and therefore would create many problems in designing a machine to hold the Sweet Spot On-Plane, acting as a Plane board substitute.

1. With "s" being of different lengths in this elliptical cone, a machine with a fixed vertex would have to have an "s" that telescopes in length. How would it know when to lengthen and shorten? If done incorrectly, you would add the third dimension to the plane (bad news/bending of the Plane).

2. If "s" was a fixed length, the vertex would have to telescope toward and away from the Plane. How would the vertex know when to move to or fro. Problems, problems, problems.

3. Or, use a plane board, and get the best representation of the Plane known to man.

Indeed, the sweet spot would be tough because the loading/unloading of the power package would call for that telescope, another reason that the 'mind is in the hands' - PP#1 - maintains a fixed length.

I suppose a circle delivery, zeroed #3 motion 'may' allow you to build some sort of sweet spot device, but why bother when you can monitor the hands! The plane of the pressure point travel.
