The Right Elbow and the Elbow Plane

So much to be learnt from this one it seems!
Solid post, golfbulldog. Thanks!

One point, though, for the newbies . . .

Sergio's Basic Swing Plane is determined by the line drawn from the Ball to the Turned Right Shoulder. The true Elbow Plane -- the Inclined Plane established by the Right Elbow's position at Impact -- is much flatter. During the Backstroke, Sergio's Hands and Club move from the Elbow Plane to the Turned Shoulder Plane (Single Shift / 10-7-B). Coincidentally, that tends to put the Right Elbow on the Elbow Plane long since left by the Hands and Club. Had the Hands stayed on the Elbow Plane, the Right Elbow would have been well beneath it.



P.S. Gosh it feels good to write about 'real golf' again!
