More Questions
Been listening to the recordings, reading the book and the posts here. Still some confusion.

Let me start with that I do understand ( I think) the different procedures - Feelwise.

But the geometrical/mechanical aspects are disturbing me. And I wonder if Homer, unintentionally, mixed mechanics and feelings in chapter 2.

So please comment my thinking.

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.
So here we go;

It took some re-readings to see that Yoda higtlighted clubhead and not clubshaft.

If I trace with my right forearm the Geometric Plane line ( A straight Line ) - The clubhead will cover the Arc of Approach, so the blur makes an arc

also,

With my right forearm tracing the Angle of Approach ( which also is a straight line) - the clubhead will cover the Angle of Approach.

And here comes my thoughts of Mr. K´s mixing.

The feel should be that the clubhead blurs in a straight line, but the blur is in fact making an arc since we have an inclined plane.

The only time the blur does not make an arc and moves in a straight line is if the plane is striktly vertical.

or am I totally wrong here?
