Matching stance line to clubshaft line it appears to me that Player is off plane at the top with a bent left wrist. Palmer arched left wrist. Nicklaus and Souchak flat left wrists.
I'm pretty new to the The Golf Machine and all it's the prinicples. But, to me it seems that Player is swinging on a flatter plane than the others and his right elbow is slighty more in front of his chest. Thus, it isn't possible for him to cross the line at the top as the other three appear to do, unless we were to keep rotating. If what I'm saying makes no sense, I'd appreciate some constructive criticism.

Welcome Jwelwell.
Yes, nice one, for sure Player's plane is flatter. His left arm is pointing right at the camera lens while the others are to varying degrees above it.
Its hard to compare them exactly though as I'm sure the golfers and the camera are moving around a bit. They'd never lock it off, probably hand held or maybe on a tripod. Shell's WWG was way ahead of its time with camera men standing on the roofs of trucks. I wouldnt be surprised if this fellow is doing something like that. That's his shadow probably in the bottoms of frame 2 and 3, I think. His head and the camera's 16 mm magazine.
My gut is telling me that Player's laid off a touch. Jack is more on his left side despite his foot angle.
Seems like Arnie, Jack and Mike have the shaft parallel to their stance line.
Knwing how great Jack was and how he played a fade and from viewing other swings of Jack I believe he was pretty close to on plane. Go to the 36 second mark of the clip below.

I think you'd get a better perspective of plane on the startdown . . . You'd see different hand locations and amounts of hip slide.
