Agreed. We say much the same thing. Therefor, given my track record, it occurs to me that we could both be wrong.

It maybe doesnt matter how we perceive this issue about the plane as long as the butt ends of our clubs point at the base line. One mans "curved plane" is another mans shifting single plane, perhaps.

I really enjoyed the 1-L-18 animation. I see a single plane with an angle that changes and a constant straight line, base line. Planes and lines to help us with our alignments. No small trick of Homers to find the correct straight lines to swing along in an otherwise circular golf swing. Many have found the wrong straight line or lines. Steering for instance.

You could take a clock, with its hands unwaveringly traveling along its fixed plane face and tilt the clock from vertical to horizontal or any which way. I see the plane of the clocks face as undisturbed. No curves. I see the hands of the clock and the plane or face they travel as unchanged in terms of their relationship to each other.

Mapped in 3-D space the clock hands would reflect their journey and show curves, flips, twists or whatever. This could be of great use in some manner but I think Homers planes and lines to be better for alignment purposes. At least they are for me, so far.
