Shoulder turn takeaway takes the Hands in the direction the Shoulders are traveling

Who says that you can't do both simultaneously? That's what I'm doing when I play my best golf. Feels like starting the back swing with feet and arms basically.

Daryl,

Thanks for a very thorough and very advanced reply. I'm not sure if I understand all of what you say.

My problem with single plane is that I am no good at it. And one of the issues I have is that I loose the sense of right hand control in the down stroke.

Being a plane shifter I don't see my own ball striking in you description. I use the hands a lot - for distance & trajectory control. The pivot for sure doesn't control nor command what the hands do. And the hands aren't able control the pivot either. Right hand lag pressure is key to distance control on less than full shots.

I find it much easier to achieve a stable pressure point balance and a steady clubhead through the ball on the elbow plane than any other plane.

Of course, all of this may be due to personal style & preferences.
