Due to the fact that a golf club has a lie angle, nessesitates that the club must be used on a particular plane during impact or alter the clubface to compensate for that deviation.
Whilst it would be nice to stay on this plane during the entire motion and is extremely advisable on chips/putts your going to have real troubles attempting a 'zero shift' too much past basic motion.
The 'ideal' would be to shift from the top of the backstroke with the club on the turned shoulder plane - to the plane the club design nessesitates.
I could be way off on this . . . but I think Mr. Kelley said that the sole and heel of the club was rounded inorder to accomodate some difference in Plane Angle. Somebody holla?

Whilst rounding the sole and heel may allow 'slight allowances' in the plane angle, it does nothing to change the fact that any change in plane angle will consequently tilt and thus alter the clubface plane. You can however compensate with clubface positioning yet I have serious doubts that it advisable for people to practice these alignments at fix... x degrees toe deep and the score lines x degrees closed to the target at seperation....what happened to precision alignments - this isn't MORAD...
Watching the BMW yesterday, it seems as though Tiger is swinging on a steeper plane than he was a few months ago. It also looks like he is standing closer to the ball. I wonder if his ball striking improvements as of late are related to these changes?

Yes ,but the club will "lie" at the angle created by your impact alignments-just changing the lie angle and nothing else would have a big effect on direction.

It looks like he is on plane per TGM and off plane according to Haney . It looked like a little angled hinging on one of the par 3's on the back. I think he was trying to hit a slight fade on that one.
