I can understand the idea of mentally "directing" the hands to go in a straight line direction towards the aiming point, but I have never seen a straight hand arc in a "real life" golf swing. All the hand arcs that I have seen are curved arcs/paths that are C-shaped or slightly J-shaped.

If you have access to a golf swing showing a straight line hand path, please let me know - I would like to analyse it using my swing analyser program.

I can see Diane mimicing a straight line hand path in the early/mid downswing by pulling her hands down that white path on page 203 of TGM, but I have never seen that phenomenon in a "real life" professional golfer's swing.

One can try and pull the PP#3 point in a straight line direction straight down to the aiming point, but the hand arc/path will still be curved because while the hands are moving down in the direction of the aiming point, the body is pivoting and the arms are moving around the body at the same time, and the end-result is a curved hand path.
