Thanks for clearing that up for me. I have been almost pulling my hair out trying to understand this afternoon, and I really don't have that much hair to spare.
One final question to completely clear the fog. Should there be a deliberate effort to get the hands and sweetspot back down to the elbow plane? I think understanding this moment of transition may be a real help for me. If there is no concerted effort to do this, can you elaborate on a feel or key?
Thanks again.

You could consciously return to the Elbow Plane, and if you do, you will have executed the Double Shift Variation (10-7-C). That is, from Elbow Plane to Turned Shoulder Plane and back again to Elbow Plane. This would mandate an Angled Line Delivery Path of the Hands (10-23-B or D).
However, the easiest thing to do would be to stay with the Single Shift (10-7-B) and simply execute a Straight Line Delivery Path (either 10-23-A or C) down the Turned Shoulder Plane. To do this:
1. Mentally construct a Straight Line (of Thrust) from the Right Forefinger #3 Pressure Point to the Ball (or alternative Aiming Point).
2. Load the Lag with your Start Down Pivot Motion without disturbing your Hands and their On Plane Location. In other words, Start Down with your Hip Action (Standard or Delayed per 10-15-A or C) but leave your Hands (and the Club) at The Top. Failure to make this move is where the great majority of potentially good golfers go bad.
3. Finally, take your Hands and their Loaded Lag Pressure directly down this Straight Line Delivery Path toward the Ball or Aiming Point (per 6-E-2) in preparation for the selected Release Trigger. In so doing, you automatically will be Tracing the Straight Line Baseline of the Turned Shoulder Plane.
Incidentally, there is an error in the Delivery Path Component Variation (10-23) of the Swinger's Drag Loading Basic Pattern (12-2-0). If you haven't already done so, correct 10-23-C to read Top Arc and Straight Line (and not simply Straight Line).

The model in the stroke sequence included here demonstrates a shoulder turn almost perpendicular to the spine which would fit the 10-13-C Rotated shoulder turn classification. If this assessment is accurate an option other than the 10-13-D On Plane downstroke from a TSP is suggested. Does that option offer a benefit?
BTW, I was viewing 4 and 5 to be on the downstroke and the impact frame missing so the calibration was helpful.
