I've always considered Bobby Jones to have a tripple shift. Does it look as though when he gets to "Top" he shifts again to the elbow plane on the downswing instead of just driving down the turned shoulder plane?

You have described the correct procedure but are counting incorrectly. As always Homer uses precise key words - Plane Shift. So how many times does the plane shift ?
I think you are mistaking and counting thus: elbow plane (1) - turned shoulder plane (2) - elbow plane (3)........... asking how many planes has he been on ?
Then following on that presumption the double plane would then be mistaken as elbow plane (1) - turned shoulder plane (2) which is why you believe you need to come back down on the turned shoulder plane in a double shift stroke....
Thank you for posting your analysis.
Have you spent a few spare moments
researching Mr. Jones?
Its a recent thing but have still looked carefully at his stroke pattern carefully from the limited footage I have. Apart from the traditional aspect of Jones and the amazing story of his life I wanted to try to look carefully at a stroke that isn't my own and is a 'bit different' in a lesson of objectivity...
Using chapter 11 it makes it easy to categorise and through the 24 components you can gain more precision.

Dear Matthew,
I still see it as a triple shift because he does not do a right forearm pickup straight to the turned shoulder, but rather he starts it back on the elbow plane then shifts up below the turned shoulder, then raises to the turned shoulder. He then starts down on the turned shoulder and shifts to the elbow plane.
