Why do you think that using more #3 doesn't result in distance? I know what #2 and #3 are but I think I'm confused as to their usage with a tsp straight line delivery.
To me the advantage of the elbow plane lies in Mr. Kelley's description of it in the earlier editions (1,2,3) . . . the right forearm traveling at right angles to the axis . . . AND on the flatter plane the rate the clubface rotates around the sweetspot is SLOWER for a given amount of roll . . . so the mechanical advantages in my mind are the slower rate of rotation of the clubface and the physics of the club moving at right angles to the "axis of rotation".
Bucket Asked: is the downstroke acceleration sequence not dependent upon pivot speed . . . massive rotor?
The Acceleration Sequence is present in non-Pivot Swings as Well as Pivot Swings.
Shoulder Acceleration
Hand Acceleration
Clubhead Acceleration
The amount of Lag Pressure required for distance control, in an Alignment Based Swing, determines the Speed of your Pivots Rotation.
This is symptomatic with Pivot Controlled Hands Players, to take the shortest club requiring the greatest effort to hit the Ball within 10 feet of your target, when, if anything other than a perfect wing, results in decreased distance.

You're exactly right . . . you do see pro's on the PGA tour on the elbow plane not controlling their distances well . . . great point.
