ANGLE OF ATTACK AND APPROACH DRAWINGS

[Jeff]

I have a question regarding this video demonstration. The laster light is placed at right angles to the plane and therefore the light beam tracing the arc of approach on the ground is seemingly going to be different to the golfer's viewpoint of the arc of approach - where the eyes are looking down through the inclined plane from a far more vertical angle. Which is the "correct" arc of approach?

The true arc of approach is on the inclined plane, however the visual equivalent to the eyes would appear as a curved line on the ground

I realize that the true arc of clubhead movement is on the inclined plane and that the arc of approach is the visual equivalent as seen on the ground - by the golfer when viewed from above. However, that "visual equivalent image" on the ground is surely not in the same place on the ground as the laser light track if the laser light is shone at right angles to the inclined plane, rather than shone through the glass pane at a steeper angle (as from the golfer's eye position)?

I would imagine it depends on the degree if inclination
