A karate chop is a strike made with the heel of the hand which in golf is thrust by the pivot towards a point on the plane line. It is a strike towards the plane line and not a strike gliding along the plane line. This is trying to control the clubhead orbit with the left arm which is a big no no in golf. It is the downstroke prior to the release motions maintaining the palm directly towards the inclined plane.
However this karate chop strike towards the plane line is guided via the clubhead control of the right hand or specifically pp3 drawing a straight line of thrust towards an aiming point after you adjust yourself in a position to do so (top arc).
Why is trying to control the clubhead orbit with the left arm a no-no? Because of its offplane position during release/impact?
What's wrong with maintaining the left arm flying wedge?

The left arm is always offplane - until followthrough. The left arm/hand has no direct control over the clubhead because of it.
I never said that you destroy the left arm flying wedge - I am merely stating the FACTS that it has to comply with - namely the inclined plane....
A frisbee is thrown on the plane of the arm - it does describe longitundinal acceleration in relation to the inclined plane. It however is not an accurate description of the motion.
Just one thing I would like to add that I think I should of mentioned also. Is when preforming a karate chop - when the hand is turned towards the plane - the motion the hand is going to accelerate is parallel to the plane line.
In this context you could say you are preforming a karate chop along the plane line - it is not right to say it in the context of along in the sence of directly pointing towards the plane line....ie frisbee toss.
How does one comprehend the use of the right shoulder? Do he go and visit, or talk to a qualified coach who really understood to seek knowledge by perhaps throught proper demonstration. Look Look Look Feel Feel. And really understand it? Giving a fair chance.
Or he simply decides from speculation in the internet, or talking to a person who already decides otherwise? And make an assumption?
Curiously, how should one best learn?
And If one understand the role of right shoulder, why would he ask about Axis Tilt?

Man I'm in trouble then. I swing left but I'm right hand dominant, I feel awkward when I try to do too much with my left arm. My right arm is not inert, maybe to my detriment. When I drag its primarily with my right arm.
