When you hit and go "in a straight" line. Is that more of a feel or is it true geometry? What I understand has a swinger and hitter the same geometry..

The only thing I know that can move in a straight line is our "clamps" from startdown into downstroke, or?

Arc of approach and angle of approach. Curve or straight line between impact and LP. Does the clubhead really draw a straight line...? If so, whats the difference to a flat spot??? I´m really confused here...

Another but simular question:
I understand as a hitter you can trace the planeline/baseline OR you can trace another line, if so what line is that and doesn´t that mean that you´re bending the original planeline? I know that there is a line that Mr Kelley named the alternate target line. If you cover that line, isn´t that the same as tracing the baseline?

I am sorry for this very foggy thread in english/swedish....
Maby someone can help me back to the path

Thank you!

There are 2 kind of release.

To make it simple talkin bout clubhead blur.

if the blurr is straight few degree out to the plane line.. thats Line.

If the blurr is more circular .. thats ARC.

In my understanding..... May not be 100% correct to your ears.. and some may argue.


The difference? ARC = more Body Pivot. ie Body Release. and a more ROLL effect. Because the body pivot provide the Closing of the clubface .. thus a more "horizontal hinge , courtesy of the pivot.

Straight line = Release down the line which goes a little further... ie a more ARM release and less roll and longer distance. When ARM throw down the line.. it doesn't roll , that much at least thus "angled hinge"

NOW... What is interesting in my opinion.. HOGAN uses ARC of approach. BUT , hold the clubface "angled hinging" . for alot of shots.. AS... his PIVOT provide the Horizontal Hinge. but his arm is no roll. thus .. maybe what is classified as angled hinging swinger.

Nuke 99,

Intresting points. Two questions

When you go in a straight line, what do mean by -"goes a little further"?

If it is like our friend Bulldog wrote, that arc of approach and angle of approach are just visual aspects, how do you than know that a player uses the one or the other without asking. In this case Hogan using arc of approach. Is that because of his pivot?
