Just found this great Yoda Post. Im thinking: not a cross line hit , still a visual equivalent. But with an apparent change in the clubhead orbit , maybe, I think, given the covering of the Angle of Approach.
Thanks for finding the post O.B!. I think my fog is lifted, so with my basic plane line being 10-5-A my Angle of Approach would be visual equivalent of a 10-5-E Plane Line.
My confusion before was I thought I would replace my 10-5-A with 10-5-E, but with my understanding of yodas post there, that 10-5-E would have it's own new Angle of Approach.

Does that sound right?
I believe so, with some reservations given the confusing nature of this topic.
The Angle of Approach is a visual equivalent, a straight line Delivery Line of the Clubhead along a line drawn between the Impact Point and Low Point. Not a true cross line draw producing 10-5-E stroke, just the clubheads Angled Approach to the ball (hence its name Angle of Approach).
The "angle" of the Angle of Approach changes as the Plane Line (Target Line) and Low Point Plane relationship changes ie as the ball moves further "back" of low point and hence more "in", thereby further separating the Plane Line and Low Point Plane. Im imagining a ball struck at Low Point to have zero angle to the Angle Of Approach. (Somebody please confirm this). The Thrust of the hands is still out though.
However the Clubheads orbit for this procedure is altered, different than the swinger Arc of Approach procedure. And here is where it gets very confusing for me.
-Would I be right in thinking the clubhead only appears to travel in a straight line? To actually travel in a straight line the left arm would have to lose it stretch, its radius or its tether at the left shoulder, no?
-For it to appear to travel in a straight line wouldnt the eyes have to be on the clubhead plane line?
And there in lies my confusion.
Here is a link to a great previous thread. But still the fog remains , for now.
I have the same fog. I was hitting pretty good wtih the driver when I just cover the plane line with the clubhead on the BS and hit down to the ball by the RFA. Once I trace the 10-5-E then mishit (hitting thin, hitting low draw with no distance..).
Covering the 10-5-A plane line result with the left arm separate with the left chest slightly, is this correct?

I believe so, see wording in 2-J-3 - "VISUALLY covers" - Traces and visually covers. Clubhead still moves in the very, very slightest of arcs (in line with being a very steep plane angle). As long as the plane is even the slightest bit inclined, the clubhead must move in an arc (again, no matter how slight) to stay on that plane.
