How should I trace?

[comdpa]

Many times in the book, in various posts here and most of all in the flying wedges clip there are references to tracing the plane line. It seems both an important and useful concept.
Problem is I'm not quite sure how to use this information...

For a straight shot: am I supposed to 'follow' the plane line, parallell to the stance line, on the ground with the first joint of my right index finger?
If yes- what does follow mean? My hand will obviously move backward, inward and upward.. What is my visual reference?

How about that now?

Well I HAVE been restrictive with posts since I started studying the book. And that was for a reason- no need for stupid questions (RTFM). Problem is- when you're alternating between book and forum/videos you get sort of ahead of yourself. Even though it's evident that this isn't the fastest way to proper learning it's sometimes hard to pull the reigns...

Well. No more of that now. Need to finish the book- I AM well under way.

Thanks for your patience with posts such as that above.
