Thanks NMG for your further decriptions! If Nesbit and Homer were to meet I am sure that they would have had a fun chat.

My interpretation of straight line delivery path is a hand path which is generally steeper than a circle delivery path...I agree with you that it's "straight line" component is tiny or none existent but the attempt to achieve a straight line thrust of pp3 (with relatively forward aiming point) gives a steep delivery hand path - I would be surprised if this was not close to the optimal path that you describe.

Rather than test a "pro" (who has usually a pivot controlled hands procedure) ...test a TGM person who uses aiming point and hands controlled pivot methodology...

Trying to tell the average pro that the secret to golf is the path that the hands take back to the ball is fruitless...they don't think like that ...there have been at least 2 decades of taking hands out of golf...all big muscle stuff...

Whilst Daryl is on a bit of a rant at the moment he does have a point...how would you use what Nesbitt has found...see what HK suggested achieves and I'm sure that a HCP aiming point guy will be more optimised than Nesbitt's amateurs.
