What exactly is the "geometrical basis" of the Pivot moving parallel to the Delivery Line?
I find it intriguing that Homer refers to "Parallel Pivot" as a "therapy" (similar to the way he uses the term in the 'exaggerated inside-out Cut Shot Therapy' as a drill to cure Steering. See 3-F-7-A) because it's something that should happen anyway, and it's also hard to exaggerate.
What are the "three motions" Homer was referring to that lifts the Clubhead above Plane?
It looks like it would be good for those that get outside the plane, or "over the top". Looks like it might cause those that tend to get too shallow... to get even more shallow.

Ted tried it on Bucket . . . and it worked! To me this is HUGE. I was having trouble with "roundhousing" and the shoulder going out from the top. If I just made my pivot comply to the Angle of Approach Delivery Line i.e. cross-line out to right field, then by moving my pivot PARALLEL (cross-line) my shoulder stays back and down. And my head stays stationary to boot.
Lagster you are absolutely right . . . . I think this can help A WHOLE BUNCH of people. By having people move the hands club and pivot cross-line, you can use your instincts and not go over the top.

Bucket, are you using the Angle of Approach Delivery Line as a Swinger or Hitter?
I have been using it in Hitting . . . but that is a question that I'm trying to figure out . . . is it possible to use it for Swinging? Thoughts?
Swingers could use the Angle of Approach procedure, but it is not advisable. Swinging and its Centrifugal Force Throw-Out Action naturally produces the On Line Arc of Approach. Hitting and its Muscular Thrust Drive-Out Action naturally produces the Cross-Line Angle of Approach.

Am I correct to say that the above is not the same as a Swinger using the Arc of Approach Delivery Line? Because I interpret the Arc of Approach Delivery Line procedure as one where you try to cover the Arc of Approach with the Clubhead, as opposed to Tracing the Basic Plane Line, or using the Aiming Point concept, even though the latter two procedures produce an On Line Arc of Approach Motion for the Swinger.

Right you are, Tongzilla. The Swinger is best advised to indirectly create the Clubhead's Arc of Approach by Tracing the Straight-Line Baseline of the Inclined Plane. However, the direct application is always available, i.e., consciously creating the Arc itself by monitoring the Clubhead Blur and its Arc through Impact.
Homer Kelley felt that the direct Arc of Approach procedure lacks the precision of the Straight Line Tracing. Hence, he did not recommend it (unless, of course, the player's psychological preference dictates otherwise). However, the direct approach can be useful as a teaching device where the student is dramatically under Plane through the Ball (Inside Out Stroke versus Inside Out Impact) and the Club is off its On Plane 'Up, Back and In' path after Low Point. But even that emphasis should be viewed as a temporary remedy.
Remember, your mind should be in your Hands (and their Plane Line Tracing), not in your Clubhead (and its Arc of Approach).

Align left and swing to right field like Freddy. I enjoyed watching him play at Augusta. Really impressed.

Bucket, I just missed you!! had to eat all those peanut butter 'nanner sandwiches by myself.
My roundhousing problem is rooted in my lack of understanding of where the hands/arms needed to be and habits from my old baseball swing. Ted had me hit the ball out towards the first baseman (exagerated) to help get the concept in my coconut. Once I understood where I should have been (this is an old, ingrained habit, so it took a couple days), my pivot started behaving better to comply with what my hands/arms wanted to do. The parallel hip slide concept has definately helped with this.
