The Right Forearm always Traces -- points at -- one of the three selected Delivery Lines (2-J-3):
1. The True Geometric Plane Line (usually the Target Line);
2. The Arc of Approach;
3. The Angle of Approach.
The Clubhead may Trace -- point at -- the True Geometric Plane Line and simultaneously cover the Arc of Approach. Alternatively, the Clubhead may simply cover -- not Trace -- the Angle of Approach.
If you trace the Arc of approach, would'nt that bend the plane line?
If you trace the Arc of approach, wouldn't that bend the plane line?
It depends on what is doing the tracing (of the Arc of Approach).
If you use your Right Forearm to trace, there is no bending of the Geometric Plane Line (the Baseline of the Inclined Plane). Remember, the Right Forearm simply is not long enough to cover the Arc of Approach; hence, it can only trace it. As the Right Forearm traces the Arc of Approach, the Clubheadcovers it (and the Clubshaft remains On Plane and pointing at the Plane Line).
However, if you use the Clubhead to trace, then you are correct. In this instance, the Plane Line will indeed be bent. In fact, it will be bent anew every split second of the stroke.

Yoda, aren't the arc of approach, angle of approach and plane line on one and the same plane? It would seem to me to be the case so the right forearm to trace these at the same time.

More precisely, the two Visual Equivalents (of the Geometric Plane Line) -- the Arc and Angle of Approach -- are the illusions that appear to the player to be on the ground. It is the Arc and Angle of Attack that are on the Inclined Plane itself.
When you use the 'on the ground' Angle of Approach as the Delivery Line, you abandon the original Plane Angle (with its Geometric Plane Line) and substitute a steeper one erected on the Angle of Approach. The Right Forearm then traces the new 'Inside-Out' Baseline, and the Sweetspot covers it.
Apology to Lynn if i have done wrong by ediing footage and reposting but i found this helpful.
Sorry - link not working - it is at about 3 mins 35 seconds in the preshot routine hitters section with Lynn and Ted.... Ted's target line plane line "evaporates" and all he then ses is the "dleivery line"...going from 7-1 o' clock ( if 12 is the target)....

Thanks Yoda for clearing up the difference between approach and attack angles.
The sweetspot can only cover the angle of approach during the interval of ball to low point? Beyond these two points the sweetspot will cover an arc of approach?

No. The covering happens much longer than that, not just from Impact to Low Point.
Thanks Yodasluke. Just came back from the practice range using the angle of approach. Experimenting with hitting I'm more accurate with hitting. I looked at the video of you with Lynn, and noticed that your left shoulder barely moved at start up and then left arm loads against the chest during the backstroke(pp4 loading). At start down do you feel pp4 loading increase? This is what I felt and thought I should clarify whether this is compatible with hitting. This site is really great.
