pg. 4 about Tour players: "... Ernie Els is a "pure" one planer ..."

pg. 35 about one plane arm movement on the backswing: "...as for your right or rear arm, it should be folding up and behind you ..."

The video of Ernie's swing doesn't seem to endorse this, or maybe I'm missing something?
IMO Hardy's book is not about 'plane' but about the differences between a setup with a lot of forward lean at address, and one with little and the differences and adjustments/compensations that each represent.

Focus on what the hands do. IMO you don't want them getting 'behind' you.
