Engrained Elbow Plane?
Maybe it was because he could find it in the dark?

I only suggest the possibility because of a vid clip I saw of him making a teeshot against Snead in a WW of Golf. He beat the pants off of Snead that day and commented that it was one of the best rounds he had played.

In the clip, he took his driver to End with it higher than the TSP. It esentially looked like the pop popular Squared Shoulder Plane. His Wedges and wrists didn't look that hot. Then at a split second at transition, he did an almost imperceptible hip bump.... and ONLY his hands and club moved (dropped a good 6 inches to the TSP). Suddenly his right wrist was bent 90*, the left wrist was supinated, the left arm was on plane with the right arm supporting it at 90*. From there the full Pivot and hand Action brought him down and through on the Elbow Plane. Amazing.

At the time I was just starting TGM and it just reinforced the sense of working on a Basic Stroke that was a fractal of a Total Stroke that would be a Zero Shift Hit along the TSP. KISS for me.
