Absolutely. The amount of work Daryl has put into this is staggering. But the TSP is a StartDown Plane of Motion. Impact is ideally along the Shaft Plane Angle, the clubs lie angle, which will also be considered an Elbow Plane if the Elbow is also on that same Plane Angle. A very good thing that most truly great golfers achieve at Impact and Homer reasoned the perfect alignment around which to adjust our machines at Fix. This alignment, this RFFW on the shaft plane at address is perhaps the only tell tail sign of a TGM adherent. That and some totally bizarre golf terminology.
Plane Shifts do happen, for longer swings anyways, but the straight line Base Line stays put. So keep tracing my friends. 1-L-18
The plane angle you release along is a function of what plane angle shifts you are employing and at what point you release. Its a flat plane yes, like a sheet of glass, that shifts its angle up and down with the base line staying in place.
Now if you point the entire flat plane, sheet of glass, left or right of the original target and trace the new straight base line associated with this new plane of motion , then you are said to have "bent the plane" or its base line to the left or the right. This new Delivery Path of the clubhead when combined with variations in clubface angles will produce curved shots for instance. You bend the plane to the right to hit a draw say. Meaning your sheet of glass is pointing right and your clubface is pointed left of that to some degree. The geometry stays the same, you still trace the base line, the plane angle changes etc.

Who put you up to this? I can't believe you said any of that with a straight face.
Seriously, people are going to believe you if you don't get back here and tell them you're only pranking them.

7-7 PLANE ANGLE VARIATIONS Due to personal preference, natural inclination of the pressure of conditions it is not always possible or advisable to adhere to a single Inclined Plane classification throughout the entire Stroke. Players often – consciously or subconsciously – employ more than one of the “natural” Planes. The Shoulder Planes are the more consciously employed – the Elbow Plane the more – almost totally – subconsciously used. Vaguely or incorrectly defined Planes and Variations must be eliminated. The list is restricted to those of fairly common usage – good and bad. Other than the Right Shoulder positions, only the Elbow reference point has any great general usefulness. The “Hand Angle” is emergency or special purpose application. Wrist Action and the selected Inclined Plane must be compatible – watch especially with “No Wristcock” Strokes.
During any Shift of Planes the Clubshaft is held On Plane with the Plane Line as though the Plane itself were moving to the new location. Other controlled procedures that achieve On Plane Impact may be more difficult but need not be deemed improper. Such as positioning the Clubshaft at The Top of the Plane Angle intended for Release. And study 2-N.

10-7-0 GENERAL Plane Angle Variations are classified according to the shifts in Plane Angle of the Stroke path. A shift may be made (1) during the Backstroke (2) during the Downstroke, or (3) at the Top of the Stroke.
10-7-A ZERO This classification is included so it can be indicated in a player’s prepared Stroke Pattern that one Basic Plane Angle is to be used throughout the stroke without a “Variation” – that is, No Shift.
10-7-B SINGLE SHIFT This Shift relates only to the shift from the Elbow Angle to the Turned Shoulder Angle during the Backstroke, with a Downstroke on the Turned Shoulder Plane Angle.
You worked hard on that, but when I imagined Kev trying to get to impact with a zeroed out #3 angle on a TSP angle, I had to, delicately, suggest another view of things. I didnt enjoy doing it.
I dont want to sound like Batman talking to Mr Freeze but if only your debauched genius were put to some common good.
OK after doing some research, I must retract my bent plane line procedure of post 10. That procedure being more correctly described as a straight base line, geometrically correct deal per 10-5-E Closed closed.
A bent plane line is an off plane, unscientific method without proper straight base line tracing.

Per 4-D-O
Remember a flat plane has a straight baseline. A circle is two dimensional and can lie on a flat plane. If the Plane Line loses it straightness the Clubhead Orbit becomes three dimensional and precision vanishes.

Per 10-5-0
Shifting from one Plane Line to any other, however slight, results in a Bent Plane Line (4-D-0) ,that genetic deformity of unscientific golf, with its Bent Left Wrist Syndrome, (3-F-7-A, 4-D-0). Whatever the symptoms the cure is Alignment Geometry and Educated Hands.
I stand corrected. But per 1-L-18 Changes in Plane Angle have no effect on the Plane Line.

We're misunderstanding each other.
My post has been incubating for years. The illustrations took a few minutes. But they aren't Impact Illustrations. At Impact, even on the Turned Shoulder Plane, ideally the Left Wrist is Level. Therefore, there will be an angle between the left arm and clubshaft. It's reduced because of the necessity to reduce the #3 Accumulator Angle to use the Turned shoulder Plane, but it nonetheless exists.
But this post is about release motions and bending the Plane line. Both halves of the release motion should occur on the same plane line (delivery line) else the clubhead orbit becomes 3 dimensional.
Can the Flat Left Wrist be used with a Double Plane shift? I said no, that the wrist should be bent. But, you can have a Flat left wrist if you keep the clubshaft on the elbow plane during the downstroke AKA Sergio Garcia.
The Hogan Swivel is not the TGM swivel. I had always thought it was but I don't anymore. I do think that the Hogan swivel helped Hogan prevent Bending the Plane-Line. But it's not the only way.
Questions remain. What is the relationship between bending the left wrist and clubshaft plane?
