Has he not located the Turned Shoulder Plane with both the Club and his hands in Frame #4???...Perhaps I'm not reading your point correctly!!!! He just locates the Turned Shoulder Plane as a result of over-lengthening his stroke via a double shift...If he hits Cut shots I've seen him use Single Shift...rather than the pics posted here...I'll try to post some different pics of him using a different procedure....For Comparison!!!

I think the primary benefit is Maximum participation and Range of Motion of the Power Package Components are utlized which gives perhaps better performance characteristics of the other Plane Angles and their Variations...

Brandle Chamblee made an interesting point the other night on TGC. He suggest that swinging on a single plane was not advisable. He was talking about that Hardy dude's version of single plane which based on the Yellow Book ain't single plane but whatever. Anyway the point he was making was this . . .

If you swing in a single plane with no Shift, it will be physically difficult to trace the plane precisely everytime particularly in the heat of competition. So he advised that a Plane Shift was a good thing becaused if you know you are going to shift planes (over or under) everytime then your resulting ball flight will be more predictible. Examples Lee Buck push cut, Bruce Leaky pull cut, etc. Where as if you do not shift planes then you could be a little under or a little over resulting in a unpredictible ball flight.

Made some sense to me . . .

Any takers?
