He said thanks for thinking of him and that although his plane theory was a pretty good start, you can thank hk for completing the concept. There are two distinct planes. The plane of the left wrist cock and the plane of the right wrist bend. You can swing on one or the other, switch from one to the other, or swing on both simultaneously.

Because this is your thread I will do three thoughts I have.
1. What does this do to "your"/my computer- (your original did say CONCENTRATION). It "has been said" , "Never move a club without the your proper grip, stance, and alignments."
2. The seperate functions of the two hands difficult with one. I will not try a list here.
3. It may be as good/fun to practice bouncing and catching a ball on the face of a wedge.

ps. On the other hand- I, myself, like to experiment and take short-cuts, Sooo.

Common conceptual problem here as the word "plane" is being used to describe three different alignments , direction or planes of motion. The plane of the left wrist cock , (the left arm flying wedge) and the plane of the right wrist bend (the plane of right forearm flying wedge) are different than the plane of the sweetspot orbit (the inclined Plane).
Thats ok, sorta like being in a room , with floor , walls and ceiling. They are all Planes. They have structural alignments too. In golf the flying wedges with their respective planes are in motion but maintain their mechanical , structural alignments .
First time I saw Lynn hit some balls in person I was amazed. I was near scratch at the time but I wanted what he had. At lunch after much discussion , most of which I didnt understand I finally just asked him in common speak ; "Whats different about your swing ? How do you make that sound at impact". He replied mid hamburger, head down ......."Its just mechanical, structural ALIGNMENTS". Chomp , chomp.
Thats when I decided I had to read the damnable yellow book. I had to understand it to understand Lynn and his swing. And so I entered the riddle within a riddle world of Homer. Where no two people understand it in the same way. Its been a great journey .

And then there's the most important plane - the sweetspot plane, which, unlike those two, doesn't change orientation or completely disappear like they do. Hogan just put an upper bound on the club head plane with his pane of glass, which even he shattered in the finish.
