Mr. Kelley seemed to have a bit of a different view of the Elbow Plane in the earlier editions. I think it's in the 3rd that he says the Elbow Plane has an advantage because the club is moving at 90 degrees to the axis of rotation.
Some of this waist bend stuff has to do with the shot at hand. Also, not sure that it's good to have the image of the spine as a "rod" stick straight . . .. cuz it ain't. However I think there is an advantage to considering an axis of rotation that the spine, hips, knees and shoulder comply with. For the head to stay steady the hips and spine have to do some bending and unbending.
Also . . . from an optics stand point . . . chin down . . . not up.
