that's cool . . . forget "components" . . . what about arm swing? High Low Depth . . . Pivot? Centered? Weight shift? etc. how would you tell somebody to move their various body parts to achieve this "ideal" direction etc.
That depends on how the player is moving his body now. My instruction is always tailored to the individual. But when working on plane direction, a laser device, like The Smart Stick, and a "plane board" are indispensable. Let 'em see it and feel it for themselves.

fair enough . . . however . . . i would assume that you do video lessons and maybe draw lines on people? maybe not . . . but anyhooo . . . . what are the reference points to this "zero" out plane angle . . . where doe the club and hands enter and exit the body? Is it easier to achieve with "low hands" "high hands" "deep hands"? Where does the club generally exit the body on the thru side? Does it even matter? What about the wrist conditions and hand motions? Do you try to keep your left wrist flat? Let it bend? How does all this work?
As I said...the reference point for the Plane Line is the Target Line. Variance to the vertical angle of the plane does not change the location of the Plane Line. As for the rest of your questions...they are good ones. I guess you'll have to wait for the book. The point of this post was simply to share a video of a stroke which traces a straight, square Plane Line.....not to explain everything that I know about the golf stroke.

Sorry . . . i thought you were saying this was THE ideal plane angle . . . misunderstood . . . apologies . . . can you field this one though? What is the impact on the HSP and Angle of Attack as the plane angles go from "steep" to "flatter" if other variables are held constant (not sure the can)?

No problem. Again, the HSP (Plane Line) is not affected by a change to the vertical angle of the plane, either steeper or flatter. The Attack Angle will depend on WHERE impact is made on the plane. But, if impact is made at the same distance before Low Point, then the Attack Angle will be more descending when the plane is closer to vertical (steeper).

EDIT . . . I have been corrected . . . HSP is just the Machine version of the plane line . . . got it now . . . duh . . . sorry . . . .
Now . . . rephrase . . . does track man have any data on relationship of angle of attack and club head path as the plane angle goes from "steeper" to "flatter" . . .
Thanks Mr. Graham . . . for righting my ship!

Steeper plane (say 60*5 iron) = less out = less plane line rotation left to zero out path and face (if the ball is not a T)Flatter plane = more out therefore more plane line rotation to zero out the path and face.
