I think that many get position oriented instead of plane and load oriented. As an aside, it's something that I find comical about the "one plane", lawnmower type Start-Up. I hope I'm not stepping on too many toes, but I'm shocked that so many have fallen under that spell. You're feeling very, very sleepy. When I clap my hands, you will wake up, and you will be a one planer. But, I'm sure just as many have carried the proverbial tray at the Top, to no avail.

When the Flying Wedges are understood, the smoke and mirrors of position golf are destroyed. The look of the elbow and Right Forearm can be dramatically different based on the steepness of the Plane. Jack was obviously different than Hogan. Who was correct? Both were correct. It's the beauty of TGM: variety.
