Feet , hips and shoulders can all have their own alignments it seems (relative to ball/target line) but usually they all point in the same direction ... at least for general play purposes. so that puts me down as 10-5-A...
10-5-0. GENERAL
"These classifications are based on the combinations of positions described by the identifying dual-term names. The first term in each combination refers to the Plane Line - the second term refers to the Stance Line (Feet only) and denotes the relation of each Line to the Line Of Flight. Three possible Plane Lines are presented but the three possible Stance Lines for each are discussed with the Square Plane Line only, because parallel Stance and Plane Lines are the basic Variation of each group of positions. Any "Line" rotated - even slightly - to the left of parallel to the Target Line (CCW), is in its "Open" position - rotated to the right (CW), it is in its "Closed" position. Use the appropriate dual-term names in the Stroke Pattern for Variations not listed herein. No Plane Line Combination is restricted to Clubs of any length. (Study 2-F, 2-N, 7-2, 7-10 and 8-3.)
The relations among Plane Line, Angle of Approach and Ball Location are constant per 2-N. Changing one changes all three and usually, Plane Angle as well, but not necessarily the Clubface alignment (2-J-1). All can be synchronized by "Laying the Clubshaft on the Line" (the selected Plane Line) during the "Parallel to the Ground" (2-F) portions of the Stroke. For additional information, see 2-G for Basic Clubface Action, 2-F for Basic Clubshaft Action and 2-N for Basic Clubhead Action."
Interesting that Homer uses plane line and feet line. Does plane line mean shoulder alignment... I think it does.... Hip alignment has more to do with hip turn (10-14) maybe...so square shoulders/square feet / open hips just limits the extent of hip turn rather than plane line...or so it seems....
would be grateful for some more expert opinions...thanks
