Many people in the "LAID OFF position at the TOP actually come over the top with a steep downswing plane. I have seen a few get into the Position Mr. Haney shows in the last picture, but not that many.

Actually... most people that take the club way inside going back, are Cross-the-line at the TOP or End, and those that take the club back more on the opposite extreme, may get LAID-OFF.

GET THINGS JUST RIGHT... SIMULTANEOUSLY UP, BACK, AND IN... AND YOU GET THE CLUB IN GOOD SHAPE AT THE TOP OR END... unless other things done by the hands, elbow, wrists, etc. jump in there to mess it up.
