First of all, I did not read through this entire thread but I have a question that has been puzzling me for weeks now. Understand that I am fairly new to TGM and I am learning alot through LBG.com. Anyway, my question is in regards to the extensor action. The problem I am trying to understand or visualize in my mind's eye is Below Plane. I cannot see this Below Plane and I do not understand what it looks like or what I am trying to feel with the hands. What I think I understand is that Below Plane is directly underneath the plane line somewhere in the dirt. If possible, could someone please help me understand so that I can visualize the Below Plane--thanks.

At address, unless you have zero #3 accumulator (high hands/shaft/forearms in line like Moe Norman), the direction your left arm is pointing, down, will be 'inside' the ball/target line (closer to your toes).
Extensor action can be thought of as trying to extend your left arm, stretch it longer in the direction it points, and since it points inside the ball/target line, that stretch is 'below' the plane.

Wait, Bat Girl was really Commissioner Gordon's daughter, so therefor..
Bucket, are you up for a few more rounds on the "Most Misunderstoods"?
If so, Im foggy on 10-3-K the Bat Minor Basic Stroke, Arm Motion. How can the right elbow replace the Left Shoulder as the center of the Clubhead orbit? How can the Flat Left Wrist not be essential? etc. I dont get it.
My reason for asking is two fold: Im goofing with Hitting and loving it but dont want to risk injury to my old squash elbow (which forced me to quit the game) so far so good however no twinges. Secondly, in trying to figure out the 2-J-3 Angle Of Approach Procedure's Straight Line, "Steeper than you think" clubhead arc (which I am nowhere close to figuring out, has anyone?) Mr Kelley mentions an "uncentered linear motion out to right field", which perhaps relates to the above. How do you uncenter a stroke with a taught Left Arm, Primary Lever?
I get that the Right Arm is Powering the Clubhead directly not powering the Primary Lever assembly. I get that Thrust is straight line and I can imagine a straight line Clubhead path requiring the Left Arm and Club , Primary Lever to be uncentered at the left shoulder BUT the only way I can imagine it is via a slackening in the Left Arm or Radius. Is there another way? I hope so cause Im so sold on Swing Radius, Taking up the Slack, the Flat Left Wrist , Extensor Action etc What gives?
