It seems that Mac is the only player (assuming camera angles are positioned properly) that has achieve the alignment of the Sweet Spot, PP3, Right Forearm, Right Forerarm Flying Wedge assembly, and Right Elbow all on the same Plane Angle Line drawn from the Right Elbow to Base Line of the Plane.
Of course there are some pretty dang good players in the pics that have managed a great deal of success without achieving the "uncompensated alignment." Many of these players DO have the Right Forearm Flying Wedge Structure intact. However, they are "off-plane?" Correct?
So . . . question . . . .
Which is more important?
Maintaining the structure of the Right Forearm Flying Wege i.e. the Level condition of the Right Wrist with the Clubshaft and the Right Forearm in the same plane like the javelin chucker?
OR
Being perfectly On-Plane without the integrety of the Right Forearm Flying Wedge?
You have certainly spent a great deal of time putting this together. What are we to learn from this?
If Mac's clubhead is on the yellow line, then how come you can see the whole back of his left hand in that shot? Wouldn't that point the club back under the plane?

The question isn't if Mac's Clubhead is on the yellow line...The facts are it is on the yellow line....These are the purest alignments when both flying wedges are aligned to the Plane Angle at this point....
How do I know the picture is accurate?...it is a still from my VHS copy and is filed on my V1 Digital Coaching System.....A tripod was used and it was placed properly by the subject being filmed...
Unfortunately ...I watched the LCG trace all the way down to this point.....I wouldn't ever deliberately choose a picture that wouldn't represent what I was trying to convey...I know I'm not the smartest tool in the toolbox...but I ain't that stooooooopid!!!

That picture was taken at the 1999 US Open at Pinehurst when I was working with Keith Clearwater by my colleague Scott Brazaski...The picture was captured by my Video Analysis and the sign was cropped out by me....Matt Kutchar...Sorry...but I was there ...it is him...He does resemble Nick though...
Here is the sequence...Frame #5 or Bottom Left
