[O.B.Left]

Let's discuss Turning Shoulder Plane for a while. And don't worry, I do not actually want to use it.

First off, you CAN use it you wish. Many Majors have been won with it.

You might not want to pick it as a procedure to begin learning the game with but if mastered , through the ball , properly executed, it is geometrically correct . But mechanically complicated which one could logically assume to tend towards more inconsistency. I said logically, uh Furyks component pattern seems to be pretty consistent and long lasting. His "machine" has been producing excellent impact dynamics consistently and for a long time now.

Re Furyk his swing can be explained in terms of plane theory , easily , despite its apparent non planar first appearances . . Put simply his Plane Angle is CONSTANTLY shifting . Up up up and down down down . An almost literal VERTICAL DROP in transition.

Homer in his day , the day of sky high hands encountered a lot of Turning Shoulder Plane golfers . In the book he offers that it is the most common procedure ..... it isnt any more. While he might not teach that procedure to a beginning golfer , faced with one on the lesson tee he had to decide whether to retrain them or not. Often he wouldnt . In these instances he would improve their Turning Shoulder Plane procedure .

IMO , if Furyk showed up at Lynns lesson tee I dont think Lynn would teach him a Turned Shoulder Plane . But Lynn could work with his procedure as is .... fine tune it , if you will. And how many instructors are capable of doing that? No offence intended but imagine Furyk working with a teacher who teaches a one plane theory of some sort! We'd probably never see him again on tv. His components, different than most that they are .... form a workable whole. Take for instance the very beginning of his swing; his Steering of the clubhead straight back in Takeaway . Its THE geometrically correct takeaway for his procedure. A teacher who told him to Trace (geometrically correct for most) would be doing him a disservice. Actually Steering the clubhead straight back , Homer reasoned to be the genesis of the procedure as it takes the club out to higher and higher plane angles immediately and progressively.



But I digress, well maybe I touched on your Question #3.
