Brian Manzella has come up with a "new" theory.
See this Manzella thread.

Brian continues to baffle me with his propensity to develop "new" theories that are not really new (or controversial).
I think that it is common sense that a golfer should orient himself square to the base of the inclined plane, and not square to the ball-target line if one wants to hit the ball straight. So, when hitting down with a short iron, one may decide to aim "x" degrees left of the target. That means that the baseline of the inclined plane must be moved "x" degrees to the left. Then, one should orient one's 3-D golfing machine square to the baseline (and not the target). Why would one want to do it differently if one wants to hit the ball straight?
In my mind, the "true" target is always on an extension of the "base of the inclined plane" line, and the clubhead arc should in-to-square-to-in relative to that "true" target line.
Jeff.
