You simply can't stay (or even really start) on the elbow plane without the shoulders accomodating, and unless you made a very non golf like motion, you have to shift. The right forearm/torso alignment from release to follow through is powerful, but requires exact/precise amounts of spine angle, #3 angle and knee/hip action to reproduce. If I recall from photos, I think the series of Mac O'Grady from GD 1983 (or was it 87), show him in those alignments. Elbow plane reduces backspin because it requires a shallow angle of attack. __________________ "Support the On Plane Swinging Force in Balance" "we have no friends, we have no enemies, we have only teachers" Simplicity buffs, see 5-0, 1-L, 2-0 A and B 10-2-B, 4-D, 6B-1D, 6-B-3-0-1, 6-C-1, 6-E-2 EdZ View Public Profile Send a private message to EdZ Find all posts by EdZ
