You may want to back it up a few frames and see why you end up there . . . generally that move is a symptom of something that happened on back from there . . .

Look at Hogan beginning in Frame 7 - 12 . . . that is an on plane golf swing . . . look at frame 8 and 9 . . . can you imagine the plane board there . . . note how the right forearm flying wedge is just riding the plane back up and in . . . compare that to D. Graham in frame 4. Look how Hogan's wedge and hands have disappeared around his body on-plane but the club is still out there where you can see the club. Awesome . . . .but look at graham . . . the wedge is done . . . he's showing you the butt cap. Not that that isn't a valid way to swing . . . but he's shifted the plane line out. Notice what the face does and how straight the right arm is and how away from him it is. Graham evidently was a great ball striker . . . but Hogan's action certainly has the mechanical advantage.

Thanks Brosuph. I've learned something from this.

Ive never swung on a plane board. Homer advised that we all should do it and that we'd be surprised by what we discoverd. Ive tried benches, ropes, Explanars but never a full fledged plane board. Maybe Ill hit Home Depot this afternoon for some plastic and some 2x4's. My wife will really be busting my balatas over this one.

In my second lesson with Lynn he said "ok show me a little cut shot". Then he said something like "interesting, that was a perfectly straight shot and a nice normal swing" . I used to get lessons from a pro who really wanted to see the hands appearing long before the left elbow from a DTL point of view in Finish. I'm thinking now that this promoted my David Graham type overswivel (and most likely off plane as you mention). That the left elbow ideally supports the on plane motion of the hands, as it does in the backswing. The right elbow opposite the#3pressure point's knuckle or the first joint at Top. If you had an "Up" The LIne point of view of the backswing you'd see the right elbow appear in much the same manner as Hogan and Lynn are displaying, no? Lynns goal posts in their formative stages, mirror images?

Wait a minute, do you load the #3 again in Finish? Knuckle or joint depending on whether you eat corn dogs or not? But with the left elbow supporting, opposing? Never thought about this. My head hurts.
