Angle of Approach Procedure & Right Forearm

[YodasLuke]

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.

Here's how I've been doing it:

- Setup with 10-5-A Plane Line.
- Ball Position set with Clubface aligned for Angled Hinging.
- Visualize straight line Angle of Approach through Impact and Low Points.
and extended in both directions.
- Grip taken in Impact fix with, per 7-2-3, back of Flat Left Wrist and #3
PP facing down the Angle of Approach.
- Right Forearm "On Plane", Turned Shoulder, and facing down the Angle
of Approach, showing precise Cross-Line direction of Thrust through
Impact.
- Machine setup adjusted per 7-2-4. Flat, Level, and Vertical Left Wrist
with Club soled and aligned for Impact.
- 10-5-A Plane Line evaporates leaving 10-5-E, ONLY, to cover with the
Clubhead
- Make Total Motion with Clubhead covering the Angle of Approach. The
covering creates the steepness of the new Plane. The Delivery, is
then the Wheel Track Motion, with the Right Forearm and #3 PP tracing
the Delivery Line.

I believe this is accurate. This should have alginments set, and verified, per 3-F-5, Forward Press. Grip per 7-2 and Right Forearm alignment per 7-3. And the Delivery per 7-23 Wheel Track Motion.

Please let me know if I'm missing anything.

That sounds like a good "how to" list - thanks! Helps me alot.

YodasLuke,

With 10-5-E and the steeper Plane causing the Clubshaft to be almost vertical at the Top do you find the loading of #3 PP feels different than when using 10-5-A?

Also, I just wanted to say that your posts here in the Hitters forum are a great help. They really help to give me an understanding of the mechanics and feels of the Hitting Stroke.

Thanks again.

I'm happy that I could help in any way. I just want to be a conduit for the information. Lynn helped me beyond measure. And, I'm sure that he would agree that Homer helped him beyond measure.

The feel of the #3 is different for each. When the club is on a steeper Plane, it feels lighter.

Absolutely, Ted. We stand on the shoulders of a giant.

Add a little Lag Pressure and a Top Top (10-21-A) -- Hands Right Shoulder high per 10-21-0-1 with a 'high' Clubshaft (pointing toward the sky and nowhere near horizontal). Then, with all due respect to my British friends:

By jove, I think you've got it!
