His hands don't arrive on the Turned Shoulder Plane until about shoulder high (the Top). That would be a single shift -- Elbow to Turned Shoulder.
rwh~Is this illustrated by the 10-6-B photo? Also, as I read it, 10-13-D makes the same point from a different perspective- because Els' right shoulder does not reach the address shaft plane (or sweetspot plane) in the backstroke, he would have to steepen it for a zero shift.

OTOH, while Mr. K in 7-13 provides rationale for the hands and shoulder moving on the same downstroke plane, rationale is less specific for why PP3/hands should move back on the TSP instead of to it.
