Where does Homer mention that the Hand Path (Delivery Path) must match the Clubshaft Plane? Assuming one is using the TSP the Hands and the clubshaft travel this plane for instance no? If you are tracing.

You may know the concept by its Given Name. “Left Arm Flying Wedge”

While he recommends using a bench or rail for demonstrative purposes he doesnt preclude a plane shift during Release.

It isn’t the Plane shifting but the risk of the 3 dimensional Clubhead orbit resulting from a shift not properly compensated.

OK I think I get you, now. The geometry is tuff. I have it on good authority that you can with great effort seek to understand it or you can merely trace a straight line Base Line and you'll be ok. A concave plane is not a plane, not a flat plane and therefore wouldnt have a straight line base line. So in fact youd be tracing a new base line or lines and by definition you'd have a bent plane line.

Wow. Great thinking. That got by me.

The geometry is confusing but for a flat plane ,that shifts angles, the straight line base line stays the same, the club rides the plane with one end or the other pointing at the base line BUT ASSUMING A SHIFT THE HAND PATH, DELIVERY PATH IS NOT A STRAIGHT LINE. See 10-23-B, C and D. Each photo of Dian in 10-23-B #1, 2, 3 has her club pointed at the straight line base line. Her Hand Path running down plane, her club following and doing likewise.

For a Swinger to uncock on the left arm wedge when its delivery line is not the plane line where the ball sits, will require taking the Clubhead out of orbit to reach the ball. Additionally, not executing the “Roll” at the Hinge, will take the Clubhead out of Orbit.

Shifting your weight is hazardous. Going to End instead of Top is hazardous. Homer used that Hazardous sentence in connection with choosing a Plane Angle higher than the TSP, it requiring a shift back to the TSP before Startdown. That is hazardous, but still good enough to win many a major championship.

And Country Club Championships as well. IMHO, “Hazarous” is code for “find a compensation”.

You're going to have send a diagram on what this relationship means to you. Where is this in the book? What do you mean by clubshaft plane here? Look at Dianne in those photos, her hands and her clubshaft are traveling the same plane angles as she shifts.

I see the misunderstanding. Homer is providing photographic aid to help people understand Plane Shifts. Plane Shifts don’t cause Bent Delivery Lines, uncocking off plane or rolling off plane does. So, if you’re uncocking on the Plane of the Left Arm Wedge, but the Left Arm Wedge is not on the Impact Shaft Plane, then you’ll be uncocking off plane. If a Swinger with a sequenced release doesn’t “Roll” at the Hinge, then he’ll “Roll” off plane.

If your Left Arm is pointing to the ground 12” inside the Plane line, and you uncock on the Plane of the Left Arm Wedge (left arm wedge has a flat left wrist), how is the Clubhead going to reach the Plane Line?

This boils down to the Left Arm Wedge. The Wedge has a Flat Left Wrist. At release, if the Left Arm Wedge is On Plane and when you Uncock the Left Wrist, the Clubhead path is On Plane headed toward the delivery line, then...... But what if you Lower your left hand to the Elbow Plane (about 6"). Can the clubshaft uncock toward the delivery line and left arm wedge plane with a flat left wrist at the same time?

It is mandatory that there is no break or bend in the Delivery Line direction during either half of the Release Motion. Both halves, as well as, the Release and Finish Roll (2-G), must be executed on the same Delivery Line (2-J-3) – On Line or Cross Line, but not both.

I have probably taken a simple concept and made it complicated.
