Id say that neither Hogan nor Snead had any thrusting of the Hips towards the plane line. Goat humping, early extension or whatever. Tiger doesnt do it. Some of these guys could even be said to have a slight Reverse Goat Hump, "RGH".
The notion of the arms having weight and momentum is a good one. In this regard the golfers rear end can be considered counter balance. Some forms of humping can be attributed to the arms pulling the golfer towards the plane line as they cross in front of the body near impact, but for me it starts to happen when my hands are still at Top, in Startdown. Transitional Goat Humping, "TGH". Its a silent killer.
Perhaps its the direction of the counter balance that is off for me? The thrusting out to right field , the counter balance pulling the Power Package longitudinally but cross line instead of down the plane line. Sending the my C.O.G out towards the plane line, my weight moving towards the toes and then a pivot over top of the toes. The right elbow gets "stuck" Im thinking.
I dunno. But Ill be interested to see if when its fixed I more closely approach Pitch Elbow. Take a look at how much room Snead gives his arms to pass. I couldnt quite stop it right at impact. Hogan in some views had his right elbow on his hip more than in front of it. Im thinking you dont need much room, just enough to not impede or redirect the right elbow.
Not towards the plane line no. But towards wherever their hips are pointing. They all squeeze their buttocs and bring their "instrument" eh... tailbone forward, so to speak. Since their hips are more turned, the goat humping as you call it will be more on the right side than the left. It's not goat humping anymore but compression of the right side.
Kelvin Miyahira has described this move in his analysis of Jamie Sadlowski amongst others. It is an essensial part of a powerful stroke. It is probably a lot less effective when it's combined with a hip stall, but it is probably better still than posing like a duck through impact.
Hump and turn, and you're pretty close to where the good guys are at impact.
