Ahh, ok. This will be slightly less than technically correct maybe but imagine a piece of tape or a line running up the AFT of the shaft (technically correct would have it from the sweetspot on the face to the #3 pp) and over the back of the right forearm. Imagine the line as being a straight line with the Right Forearm on the same plane as the piece of tape on the aft of the shaft. This line represents the Plane of the Right Hand bend .... the RFFW. Horizontal in your terms.

Now, from Fix (not adjusted address) imagine a line or piece of tape or whatever running up the top of the shaft (as you look down at it from address) and up the entire left arm . Again a straight line and representing the plane of the Left Wrist Cock. A purely Vertical Hand Motion (per ..dont have my book with me right now, Hand Motions ? ).

With a 10-2-B grip these two planes are 90 degrees to each other. Top and Aft , vertical and horizontal in your terms. Dont look at the back of your left hand , which will be slightly turned as is natural (take a look at it when its hanging by your side when standing.... its turned slightly along with the elbow and forearm too ... aligned to your mouth). This is slightly turned Left Hand is "Flat , Level and VERTICAL" definitionally . THE LEFT HAND IS NOT LITERALLY VERTICAL BUT IT IS "GEOMETRICALLY" VERTICAL in this instance.

" Geometrically" Vertical being yet another example of my "out on a limb" line of thinking re Homer's definitions. We have Geometrically Flat why not Geometrically Vertical?



Yoda , if you're here .......life line. I dont want this to get messed up and there is a need for precision here, which may be lacking. The old Left ARm Flying Wedge / plane of the left wrist cock/ inclined plane thing again.
