Stricker Down the Line

[O.B.Left]

But remember, guys, the Elbow Plane is not an absolute. Some Angles are steeper than others, especially through Impact (versus Address).

These steeper-than-normal Elbow Planes can approach the TSP Angle and, in fact, remain on it. In which case, there has been Zero Shift from the Top. One example is Brian Gay.

Thanks for this Yoda Ive been wondering about that one. The later editions definition of Elbow Plane got me mixed up.

How bout the TSP is it a range of angles too?

Would I be correct in thinking that though a Rotated Shoulder turn "can locate a TSP angle" its unlikely to be able to locate a TSP angle that is also an Elbow Plane angle? Is this one of the reasons for your preference for "Flat back", Standard Shoulder Turn?

I know this is slightly off topic but ..........since we're talking all around this lingering question of mine.

Anybody got any good photos of jack shifting to the elbow plane?

(or tsp/elbow plane, whichever one he was on - or maybe both)

Does Phils TSP get close to elbow plane to?

You can have several movies to examine!

Thanks so much GMBTempe, Yoda, OB, the Academy! Angle at Impact! How simple, elegant, bio-mechanically logical and congruent. Awesome and satisfying like Dean Koontz or Tom Clancy or the 12 step program!

I have to break out the Brian Gay Premium videos I have!

Another video from the same spot. Kuchar was arguably the best ball striker on tour last - impact is about as square/square as it gets. The back swing is unusual but the downswing is great.

Thanks, MB.

First, take a look at Matt's Underplane Backstroke at 0.05 (pause it, then do a few 'doubleclicks' until the shaft is parallel to the ground). Note how inside the club is and how you can see the full length of the clubshaft as well as the clubhead.

Then, play on to his his picture-perfect On Plane Downstroke at 0.12. With the shaft once again parallel to the ground, you see nothing but the sole of the clubhead, i.e., no shaft. Ideally, that's what you should see in the Backstroke, no matter how Flat the Plane. But . . .

As Matt demonstrates, as long as you have the talent to realign at the Top and bring the club down On Plane into Impact, you're golden!
