PA#4 is releasing in that last image. I merely wanted to state that Hardy OPS golfers turn very fast in the early downswing and maintain a powerful torso rotation throughout the downswing. That means that any upper torso deceleration will be later - compared to a standard active pivot action swing - and therefore PA#4 release will delayed. However, the clubshaft will still be on plane during the time period that PA#4 is unreleased - because of the golfers bent-over posture and arm release angle.
Jeff.
Jeff . . . much of this has to do with plane angle and how "deep" the hands go (which is also related to plane angle) . . . . Inorder for the pivot and hands to comply to the "flatter" plane angle and "deeper" hands . . . the pivot can be more "rotary" . . . because there is simply more out in that plane . . . .
However regardless of the plane angle there has to be some hip slide and releasing of #4 to comply with the plane . . . the steeper the plane the more slidy and faster #4 has to go just due to where the hands are in space relative to the ball. Spin to quick on a steep plane and you shatter Mr. Hogan's pane all to pieces. That being said . . . . Mr. Hogan released #4 FAST and went WAAAAAY forward with the hips . . . but he did pretty much whatever he wanted to do.

Agreed. Like Totally.
Prior to TGM the Judge and I travelled to Florida to get some One Plane lessons. The pro there was not entirely Hardy based so I dont know how relative this is but I can tell you that afterwards I struggled with pulls , divots pointing left of the hole and the odd "s word". The Judge (hope he isnt reading this) suffered from the elbow saw take away (no EA) and an early rotation off his back foot in transition. Too much rotation , too early, roundhousing.
The teacher in question has one fine, fine swing and is a great guy but I can today see through my TGM eyes that his right hip is cleared, his weight is left and his axis is tilted.
And now, thanks be to Yoda (TBTY), so is mine. Straight Divots just flying down the fairway. Being a Nawthaner and having to replace the things, its making for a lot more walking.
O.B.
Warning: Results may vary. Any reference to axis tilt is in the context of the posters personal preference as implied, weight left and cleared right hip are however implored regardless of users chosen pattern.
