Fred McCrary
This is the same Fred McCrary from the Superbowl Champion New England Patriots, who presently plays fullback for the Atlanta Falcons. He's one of the nicest men you'll meet. But, after meeting Yoda, he had a nice swing to match. The photos in this post and the one to follow should be viewed in sets of two and from left to right. First the Before and then the After. Quite a difference, wouldn't you say!

Permanent Progress
Thanks, Ted, for putting these photos up.
Everybody please note that Fred (immediately above) and Larry (the first student in this thread) had exactly the same problem: Both were way Off Plane in the Backstroke (and consequently, also in the Downstroke). Interestingly, though, their respective problems were in opposite directions! Fred was way above Plane at the Top whereas Larry was way below Plane. Not to worry: At the end of our time together, both were On Plane. And both had a Finish Swivel. 
No 'quick fix.'
No 'band-aids.'
Just The Golfing Machine as written by Homer Kelley and taught by a competent Instructor in adherence to its Principles. 
Most important, a Student-Teacher relationship established in advance.
Grounded in reality...
With a mutual commitment to long-term progress.

explanation please.
It appears the only point at which their trailing arms line up with the shaft is at impact and beyond. (perhaps startup)
This seems to be at odds with swings of the great hitters, and advise of just about every other instructor I can think of.
Are you saying that coming from inside is a power leak?

How do you guys shoot your down the line camera angles? The second video shoot is inconclusive at best, being from a very different camera angle.

I'd assume a good way to do it would be to centre the body (not sure which part would be ideal.....prolly the right shoulder or something) AND the target in the camera.

Fred McCrary -- A 5-Handicap In the Making

Fred McCrary, offensive fullback for the Atlanta Falcons, called tonight...he was back home from a celebrity golf tournament in South Florida and time with friends at the Superbowl. The off-season is when Fred 'gets it done,' and he's rarin' to go.
Fred has been playing golf for six years -- he started in San Diego when he was with the Chargers -- 4 1/2 of which preceded our chance meeting Woodmont C.C., Canton, Georgia, in the summer of 2005. I had just finished up a day's worth of work with V.J. Trolio, GSEM, PGA, who had come over from his home club in West Point, Mississippi, to do some preliminary work on our soon-to-be released videos. Anyway, with V.J. headed down I-75 South toward I-20 West, I decided to hit a few balls at the far end of the range.
That's when Fred came on the scene. He introduced himself and said he had been watching me. He was very enthusiastic and asked how I was getting the results he was seeing. Before you know it, I was watching Fred hit balls.
It's what I do.
Fred was a 19 handicap at the time.
Today, he plays competitively at 9. That's a 10-stroke reduction (52 percent) in less than 18 months.
It goes without saying that Fred is a 'driven' person. Once he discovered his possibilities, his goal immediately became to break 80. He did so twice last year -- a highlight was his 79 at Harbor Town (the PGA TOUR stop on Hilton Head Island) at an Atlanta Falcons organization outing -- and his 'PB' (Personal Best) is now 77.
This year, his goal is a 5-handicap, and his call tonight was to schedule time on Thursday.
I can do that.
Let the games continue.
