The Point I'm trying to make is that assuming he (his pressure points) are on a Square Shoulder Plane at Top the "shoulder sockets drop" thing you describe is a plane shift in the manner of 1-L-18. Its "The" Plane , The Inclined Plane but its Angle Shifts. Those "shoulder socket drop" hatched lines you draw are illustrative in a 1 D pen on paper sense but the truth is seen in 3d perspective with animation. This is Homers Inclined Plane and its angle changes. Dynamically and according to our own Pattern. You could do a unique animation for any golfer from Jim Furyk to Lee Trevino.

The Dashed Line in frame two represents his double Plane Shift and not the "Shoulder Sockets Drop Thing".

7-7 PLANE ANGLE VARIATIONS ...........During any Shift of Planes the Clubshaft is held On Plane with the Plane Line as though the Plane itself were moving to the new location. Other controlled procedures that achieve On Plane Impact may be more difficult but need not be deemed improper. Such as positioning the Clubshaft at The Top of the Plane Angle intended for Release. And study 2-N.

AND

10-7-0 GENERAL Plane Angle Variations are classified according to the shifts in Plane Angle of the Stroke path. A shift may be made (1) during the Backstroke (2) during the Downstroke, or (3) at the Top of the Stroke.

I understand how the Plane angle may vary yet the base line of the Plane stays straight and remains unchanged.

Homer is saying that as your Hand Path Changes, the Clubshaft Angle should Change to Match. Which is contrary to 1-L#18 because the initial path of an Elbow Planer Double Shifter is to have his hands drop almost straight down from the Top of his Swing and not anywhere close to the Plane-line. But, he says, also, that if you know how to control the procedure, set the Clubshaft onto the Impact Angle and keep it at that Angle throughout the Stroke regardless that it doesn't point to the Baseline of the Plane until RELEASE which again, is contrary to 1-L#18 because throughout the down-stroke, the shaft is pointing into the cosmos but never at the Plane Line.

This is why Plane Angle Shifts are Hazardous. In order to remain in control, the Shaft angle and Hand Path should be the same which can only occur if the Hand Path can follow a Straight Line Path to the Baseline. Review the Iceman Picture.



Your response missed my point completely. I was saying that the Right Shoulder, being forced down-plane by the pivot, will align the Hand Path and Clubshaft onto the same Plane if you allow it to.
