I don't get it...is the clubhead following the "clubhead orbit" in the diagram or is following the angle of attack?
The Clubhead is following the Clubhead Orbit. The Angle of Attack is that straight line drawn on the face of the Inclined Plane (and viewed from above it) that connects the Impact Point and Low Point. This is Impact's Downward Dimension.
That same line viewed upon the ground is the Angle of Approach (Impact's Forward Dimension).
Impact's Outward Dimension is determined by the Angle of the Inclined Plane.
If the Right Forearm Angle of Approach were also on this drawing, it would be a line parallel to the Angle of Approach line just intersecting at a point farther down the Plane Line, right?

I was inspired to do these drawings by Mr. Lynn Blake himself. He presented these drawings to us at our school a couple of weeks ago. With these drawings he helped us all realize that this is what it is all about. They have made teaching so much easier when students finally see what it is they are actually trying to do with the golf club.
I am sure Lynn will explain these in more depth.
Forever Hitting,

It looks like these images were lost during the forum conversion. I have just started studying the arc and angle of approach procedures. Can someone please repost these pictures?

Angle of attack is the line draw on the plane while tracing the angle of attack of the clubhead
Assuming if we have a laser sitting perpendicular to the plane (or a Flash Light in Homer’s day) tracing the Angle of attack line, the projection of the laser on the ground = the Angle of approach.

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 paththe 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 orAngle 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.
