The Hitter does indeed direct the #3 Pressure Point (Lag Pressure Thrust) along the Angle of Approach and thus through the inside-aft quadrant of the Ball. The wrinkle here is that, unlike when using the Swinger's Horizontal Hinging, you do not hit the Ball with an Open Clubface when applying the Hitter's Angled Hinging. Instead, you hit the Ball with a Closed Clubface.
The Clubface for Angled Hinging is aligned at Impact Fix Closed to the Target Line per 2-J-1 -- and the longer the Shot the more Closed the Clubface. Also, the further back the Ball is located toward the Right Foot, the more Closed the Clubface becomes to the Delivery Line and the Lag Pressure Point (7-11).
Thus, though the Lag Pressure is driven through the inside-aft quadrant of the Ball, the Closed Clubface 'wraps around' enough to impact the outside-aft quadrant. This action, at a minimum, offsets the Fading tendency of the Uncentered 'Layback Action' characteristic of the Angled Hinge Motion. When the divergence of Clubhead Path and Clubface Alignment is more severe, the result is a Draw or Hook.
Yes, John, you can produce a 'natural Draw' when Hitting (or 'Manipulated Hands' Swinging) simply by playing the Ball back a bit -- provided you (1) align the Clubface Closed to the Flight Line per 2-J-1 and (2) Rotate your Grip per 7-2. You can do the same thing as a True Swinger by Rotating your Plane Line. Opposite procedures are employed to Fade the Ball.
There are not enough words to properly explain and telegraph into your brain what I've just said. Therefore, we will soon produce a video to collectively explain and demonstrate these relatively simple procedures...for the first time in the history of Golf Instruction.

Bobby Clampetts swing was clearly showing its early 1980's roots (as did mine and most everyone else back then). While Mr Kelley was no doubt asked to analyze a very prominent TGM student he also seems to be gently critiquing a generational swing style. In the era of knee drive and hang back Mr Kelleys ideas must have seemed even more radical then than they do now.
I used to have a backswing like that with the right arm staying straight and it was a recipe for angled or even vertical hinging for me. Mr Kelley deals with it all very politely I think. Sadly much of his insight was edited out. If only the golfing world had a chance to embrace what he was he saying, they could have saved a decade or two of wandering around in woods, literally.
Im still weeding some of these things out of my garden. But now thanks to Lynn's site and Homers book, I can separate the weeds from the flowers quite easily.
Thanks to Yoda for sharing with us this unedited swing analysis by Homer Kelley. Its a rare glimpse of his swing thoughts in a somewhat casual context.

PS Clampett's release, impact and follow through photos look fantastic by any era's standards.
Mid-afternoon Wednesday, I walked into the Men's Grill at Atlanta CC. I had a nine-hole round scheduled for 4 p.m. and wanted a snack to tide me over 'til dinner. As I looked around, I saw that someone else had the same idea: Larry Nelson.
Now, this was a rare sighting. Larry lives off the 18th fairway and normally does his eating at home. But, there he was, and hearing me order my half-tuna salad sandwich and cole slaw -- I really am trying! --before even sitting down, he glanced up and motioned me to his table.

So, there we were: he with his potato soup and me with my tuna salad. Mano o mano with one of the great players in history. What do you say? What do you talk about? Like a racing clubhead through impact, it's all a blur. Some things personal. Some things PGA TOUR politics. Some things golf swing.
The Quiet Man talked.
The Green Man listened.
As did, I suspect, more than one or two at the nearby tables!
Anyway, it was great fun, and thirty minutes later we were headed to the Practice Tee. He to get ready for the Champions Tour's upcoming Toshiba Classic in Newport Beach, California, and me to get ready to play with my junior student Katie Skeeles in preparation for her varsity qualifying. Each playing our respective roles in this great game of golf.
