The Elbow Plane is a fixed Plane. For a Clubshaft to be on an Elbow Plane, it simply points

The Turned Shoulder Plane angle can vary from player to player
and club to club. It is defined by the Right Shoulder getting
onto a plane and while Moving Down Plane will Locate the Right
Elbow onto the same plane for Release. If the Clubshaft at
Impact has the same angle as that defined by the shoulder and
Right Elbow, then it and the Hands are on the Turned Shoulder
Plane. The Right Forearm Wedge functions to get the Clubshaft to be at that same angle.

The great thing about the Turned Shoulder Plane is that it not only locates the Right Elbow On Plane,
but it locates the Right Elbow correctly Forward On Plane to the perfect release point. If the Right
Shoulder wasn't directly behind and driving the Right Elbow to that location, you'll need a compensation
to get the Elbow so far forward or use the Elbow Plane and add a compensation.
Agreed, some players appear to shift to the elbow plane because of the significat head and torso drop (old Tiger swings). I do not consider this to be the elbow plane but might appear to be if one were to draw lines on the screen video. The elbow plane is clearly identified in the book (where the elbow meets the waist).
