On-line/ cross-line / 2-J-3 / etc

[golfbulldog]

I have read all the old stuff and the recent stuff on these topics and still can't say i really understand how i can use these in my game.... so i am going to beat down this door once and for all. I apologise if this appears "workmanlike" but I need to get this right...and I can not believe that every other guy here has got it all understood! - thanks for any assistance along the way.

The bits that confuse me are the descriptions of the straight/angled line delivery paths as being "cross line" procedures and.. the circle delivery path as "on-line"

I have always thought that :-

-online procedure means swing (arc of apporach) and

- cross line procedure mean hit (angle of approach)

So i get a few questions in my head

- Does that mean that a swinger needs/requires a circle delivery path??

I do not think so ...

- does that mean that if a swinger uses a straight line delivery path then it is a cross line procedure and they can use the angle of approach?

not sure...

- Now if i am aiming for a later release/more snap than sweep....I think i have to use a straight line delivery path ( not circle...circle path can not do snap release...right?).....

so what options does my right forearm have for covering or tracing?

I think that it can always trace the geometric plane line...but as I am now using a cross line procedure ...does that mean "out to right field" ( ie. more 10-5-E rather than 10-5-A...but that sounds too much like hitting!!!)

You can feel my confusion by now...i assume that some of my original assumptions are incorrect ...hence my confusion! Just not sure which bit of the puzzle is incorrect

- Is there a swinger's visual equivalent for the right forearm in a straight line delivery snap release??

A few worked examples may help my fog problem

Thanks very much for helping...PS. somewhere in the back of my mind is Hogan's picture of a "10-5-E style" downswing plane...is that a "cross -line feel" that he felt whilst actually being incorrect mechanics??



There needs to be a more confused smile than that...

Now add in the slide of the hips parallel to whatever and does that mean that a swinger slides his hips differently in a crcle delivery path as opposed to a straight line delivery path???

I have ignored this issue for nearly 2 years...grasping the words rather than the real meaning... time has come to lance this boil!
