If the plane and target lines are parallel, how (or why) does one thrust across? Forgive me, but my nut just won't accept this idea,,,

2-N-0 CLUBHEAD LINE OF FLIGHTThe line of flight of the Clubhead and the Line of Flight of the ball are not the same but touch momentarily during Impact. The one has a vertical plane of action, the other an Inclined Plane. This involves the Angles of Approach (2-J-3) established by the Left-Shoulder-to-Ball relationship of the Lever Assemblies 1-L-11. This line cuts diagonally across the face of the Inclined Plane and passes through both the Impact Point and the Low Point. These points also locate parallel Plane Lines passing through them – that is, the Impact Plane Line and the Low Point Plane Line, each of which must use the “Sweet Spot” Plane (2-F). Herein, “Plane Line” means the Impact Plane Line and “Low Point” means Low Point Plane Line.
Normally, Delivery “THRUST” is “Cross Line” – Delivery “MOTION” is “On Line”. Even at Low Point, because Delivery Path Angle (direction) is ALWAYS the alternate Target Line (7-2-3) even with Circle Delivery Path (1-L-9, 1-L-10). Study 7-11 and 7-19.
If the Ball is back of Low Point then you must take the Lag all the way DOWN and OUT to low point. Remember clubhead lag has no release point so you continue driving DOWNPLANE until both arms straight. For the swinger CF is the DRIVE or Thrust.
Even using Tracing a Straight Plane Line you will see the clubhead move in an Arc . . . So from your vantage point you want to see the clubhead CROSS your Target Line to get Down and out to Low Point. Otherwise you could get the clubhead going toward the green resulting in Steering and its Bent Left Wrist.

Thanks 12, for the comprehensive reply.
This is the heart of the matter for me-again assuming a square/square set-up. I just cant understand how a variation from plane line to target line of aprox. 1/2" (my guesstimate) can be observed from the golfers vantage point as a discernable cross line motion. I visualize a clubhead that traces the plane line exactly and the "out" occurs only as a by-product of ball behind low point and the angle of the inclined plane.

The Delivery Path of the Hands is inscribed on the face of the Plane. Try this out. Get one of them strectchie band thingies. Hold it in your grip with a club with it coming out of your right forefinger. Have a buddy step on the other end of it about where the ball or your aiming point would be. Take the club back up and in to the top. Now look at the band from your vantage point. It will look to you cross-line.
Or it least it does to me. . . . but if you got the down and OUT part then you can just Trace the Plane Line with your forearm. You got options.
