Different planes is different feel. Determine which plane you use up and down swing and as long as the plane line stays the same, its correct. There are many best ways around. if you lift and trace forearm,, zero shift easy. if you swing your club back , single shift easier .. And as long as the shaft head or Butt point on the plane line, it is on plane. Zero shift is Ideal.. however not everyone can get comfortable with it. Lynn, Hogan use single shifts..

Many here will agree using the turned shoulder plane is easier for downswing, in this case, the club shaft should feel to be disecting the upper arm in half during the downswing. And for Elbow plane, normally people with Pivot controlled swing will use that, this case the club shaft is inline with the forearm during downswing.

Use the lazer / torch line / plane board to correct your plane. Its a totally different point of view and feel. Thats why having a coach is much much easier to understand the concept.

I suggest you read the following article.. and look at the other plane articles by Paul Smith.
