Sorry Bossmang! I misunderstood you question . . . I'm with you on your pic. It is at Top of the Line Delivery Path.

I may be wrong about this . . . but here goes . . .

Thrust is always CROSS LINE . . . So if you were to take one of them stretch band thingies and attach it to the ground at the ball or Aiming Point it will be a straight line regardless of if the hands are at Top or at End.

That being said . . . read up on the stuff about Wheel Rim vs. Wheel Track. I think Homer said that if you used the Arc procedures you should feel the hands move in a CIRCLE??? I'll check the book and holla back . . .

Somebody?

I like your crossline thrust stuff... you had good post on that somewhere which i got saved , thrust is down and out to low point etc...

I been thinking today about it... Hogan has one of the most pronounced "away from target lateral hand moves" between "end" and "top-of-theline" on downswing....

He also has a pronounced lateral hip movement at the same time...

The hogan video with gridlines in the backgound really show up his head and hip moves and show his hands going the other way ( each moves about 1/3rd of a square)...

Still keeps his right shoulder up and shoulders minimal rotation...

He slides (and head returns to centre , and perhaps fraction lower, as address) all the time keeping hands and lag hovering, sustained... only then does his right shoulder go down and rotation occurs...

See the video if you can find it somewhere....

The hips go one way and the hands go the other , whilst lag is increased or sustained....

I guess the pp3 feel is one of hovering above your prey (like a hawk) just waiting for the moment of straight line delivery... he just waits for the slide to left ( during which the hands respond by moving opposite way ...?for balance? helps him remain centred?)... then bang...!
