Inside-Out, Inside-Aft And Tracing

2) horizontal hinging with the left hand redirects the inside out motion of the wedges to an onplane motion so that PP3 traces the plane line parallel to the target line, and the blur of the clubhead is the proper inside-out-inside motion.

Still can't reconcile an inside out motion with tracing the plane line, which is going forward.
DDL,

I reprinted from your post the Quote below. My answers appear in bold.

1. However, I was also not tracing the plane line with PP#3. By trying to strike the ball from an inside out path, I was actually tracing a plane line that was going out to right field.

There is a difference between the Inside-Out Impact that is characteristic of all On Plane Downstrokes and the Inside-Out Stroke wherein the Clubhead actually crosses the Line of Flight per 10-5-E. The latter should be avoided unless:

-- The player is deliberately attempting to produce a Draw or Hook;

-- The player is deliberately employing the Hitter's Angle of Approach procedure (2-J-3). In this instance, he will erect an Inclined Plane whose baseline is 'out to right field' (10-5-E Closed Plane Line) and then 'Cover' -- not Trace -- that Line with his Clubhead.


2. Am I on the right track that:

-- the right arm ala #3PP is initially directed in a straight line towards the inside aft quadrant of the ball...

Thrust is directed at the inside-aft quadrant of the Ball only when the player is (a) monitoring the (Cross-Line) Delivery Path (of the Hands per 10-23); or (b) is employing the Hitter's (Cross-Line) Angle of Approach procedure. Otherwise, Swingers (and Hitters) monitoring the (On Line) Geometric Plane Line (the Straight Line Baseline of the Inclined Plane per 2-J-3) should direct Thrust directly at the back of the Ball. In all instances the Thrust is directed by the Tracing Right Forearm and Forefinger (#3 Pressure Point).

2) horizontal hinging with the left hand redirects the inside out motion of the wedges to an onplane motion so that PP3 traces the plane line parallel to the target line, and the blur of the clubhead is the proper inside-out-inside motion.

Hinge Action is independent of Plane and Power. Any Hinge Action can be executed on any Inclined Plane and with any one or combination of Power Accumulators.

Still can't reconcile an inside out motion with tracing the plane line, which is going forward.

You must think in terms of the Three-Dimensional Attack Angle, i.e., the player's view from above the Plane's surface. As the player Traces (with his Right Forearm and #3 Pressure Point) the Straight Line Baseline of the Plane (Forward movement), the Clubhead is simultaneously moving toward the Plane Line (Down and Out movement). Hence, both the Line of Flight of the Clubhead and the motion of the Right Forearm are Three-Dimensional (2-N-0).
