2) Assuming a centered strike, a ball hit before low point, need a low point plane line that points left of the target(for righties) and a face pointing at the target. This is because when the ball is actually struck, the club head is still moving downward, outward and forward. That's the direction we need to be at the target for a straight shot.

Having a really hard time here. Please help.

In your example:

1. The ball is struck before Low Point.

2. Low Point is Down Plane from Impact Point (assumed for practical purposes to be on the Target Line, though actually slightly inside it).

3. Impact and Low Point both lie in the same Clubhead orbit and on the face of the same Inclined Plane. In fact, "Plane" lines may be drawn through each that are parallel, the Low Point Plane Line being further "down" than the Impact Plane Line (and therefore further "out"). In which case . . .

4. The Low Point Plane Line lies below the Impact Plane Line.

Here's my question:

If Impact occurs prior to Low Point, how can the Low Point Plane Line (tangent to the orbit) be "inside" -- Above Plane -- the Impact Plane Line (chord across the orbit)?
