I simply think that HK correctly implied that the right shoulder should move downplane during the downswing to support the clubshaft and that it should be tracking close to parallel to the inclined plane in the late downswing and early followthrough. That's what I think Creamer is doing. I think that it is physically impossible for the right shoulder to move on the same plane as the clubshaft (eg. elbow plane) because the human body cannot contort to that degree. It is my understanding that HK merely implied that when the right shoulder moves downplane, that it should move as close to parallel to the inclined plane so as to better support the movement of the right forearm/clubshaft.

I also think that it is physically impossible for the right shoulder to move steeply downplane at the very start of the downswing. I think that the pelvis has to shift left-laterally first, so that secondary spinal axis tilt is produced, and that those biomechanical events allow the right shoulder to move more steeply downplane later in the downswing. During the early downswing, the right shoulder has to move around along a less steep angle.
