I have been trying to resolve these three questions for myself and I would greatly appreciate your opinion.

What are the advantages/disadvantages of going to maximum trigger delay as advocated by Ben Doyle?

What are the advantages/disadvantages of setting up with the right forearm and shaft on the same plane angle at address? (I don't see pros do this but it is where they are going to end up at impact isn't it.)

What are the advantages/disadvantages of using a zero shift swing on the turned shoulder plane angle as shown in the chapter 12 basic stroke patterns? (Again, I don't see any pros do this, but at least in theory, it would seem to make the motion more simple than the more traditional double shift?)

I apologize for the length. Thanks for all your contributions to the forum.

Justin, Thanks for writing. My answers are in bold.

1. What are the advantages/disadvantages of going to maximum trigger delay as advocated by Ben Doyle?


Very few Shots require Full Power.


2. What are the advantages/disadvantages of setting up with the right forearm and shaft on the same plane angle at address? (I don't see pros do this but it is where they are going to end up at impact isn't it.)

The exact Right Forearm On Plane Angle is established in Impact Fix (8-2) with the Weight (Hip) shifted, the Spine Tilted and the Right Shoulder On Plane. The Left Wrist is Flat and the Right Wrist is Bent. For Hitters, these alignments will be maintained at Adjusted Address (8-3). For Swingers, after Fix, the Weight will be returned between The Feet, the Spine will be Vertical and the Right Shoulder will parallel to the Line. The Left Wrist will be Bent and the Right Wrist will be Flat. Nevertheless, every effort should be made to keep the Right Forearm On Plane (and pointing toward the Line).

From Homer Kelley:

"That's where I get in trouble. When I move back to Adjusted Address, my Forearm gets too high."

3. What are the advantages/disadvantages of using a zero shift swing on the turned shoulder plane angle as shown in the chapter 12 basic stroke patterns? (Again, I don't see any pros do this, but at least in theory, it would seem to make the motion more simple than the more traditional double shift?)
