Isn't this #3 angle definition a little bit confusing (please see the bolded underlined sections further below from your website)? Shouldn't the #3 angle be defined as the angle between lead arm and an extension of the orange line?
The black line represents the legs and the blue line represents the spinal bend inclination angle of the torso. The green line represents the straight left arm and the orange line represents the clubshaft. The curved red-arrowed line shows the size of the accumulator #3 angle between the left arm and clubshaft. The size of the accumulator #3 angle is greater if that angle is smaller (and more acute) - as seen in image 1, and the accumulator #3 angle is less if that angle is more obtuse and closer to 180 degrees - as seen in image 2. A major factor that affects the accumulator #3 angle is the way the golfer holds the grip end of the club in his left palm - a mid-palmar or high palmar left hand grip decreases the size of the accumulator #3 angle and makes the clubshaft and left arm become aligned in a near straight line at address/impact, while a finger left hand grip increases the size of the accumulator #3 angle and creates a clearly visible acute angle between the left arm and clubshaft at address/impact. A second major factor that affects that left arm/clubshaft angle through impact is the angle of the left arm (relative to the ground) at impact. In image 1, the left arm is near vertical at impact, and that promotes a larger accumulator #3 angle, while the accumulator #3 angle is less if the golfer angles his left arm more outwards through impact - as demonstrated in image 2.
