There are ways to somewhat overcome the problems with Plane Shifts. But if you're willing to work on them, then why not rather work to eliminate them?

If a Golfer includes a Plane Shift during the Downswing then 99% of his problems will be poor execution while learning to control that shift.

I didnt find the thread but I found a few others, including one I started on a similar subject. Clearly my idea isn't clear yet.


What I read was:

plane shifts are hazardous because they change the path of the hands and creates a more chaotic model.

Not exactly on the money. The Hands path changes but the club shaft may point to another plane. Who's watching the store?

hand path and plane shifts are directly related to the pivot - hip action, knee action, spine tilt.

This is true only in "Pivot Controlled Hands" Procedures.

right elbow position dictates the hand path, and therefore if and when plane shifts happen.

Not exactly on the money. In TGM, the Hands (with assistance of Extensor Action) dictates Right Elbow Location for Release. However, with any Downstroke Plane Shift, the Pivot determines the Right Elbow Location and Release Point.

The shortest distance between 2 points is a straight line. Great for the backswing.

And the Downstroke.

Therefore a longer line can create more speed, so would a loop or early plane shifts on the way down create more speed?

Can you "loop" and strike the ball on the sweet spot with a three dimensional Impact? I read somewhere that the "Happy Gilmore" swing actually increased Clubhead Speed. But they said it increased "Torque".

If your goal is gaining club-head speed, then:

2-M-2 POWER REGULATION Clubhead Lag Pressure Point pressure (6-C) is the Power Regulator. It meters out Power by sensing Clubhead Acceleration Rate and Direction. That is:
To vary the Effective Clubhead Mass, vary
1. The Acceleration Rate (Lag Pressure 7-11)
2. The Swing Radius (length of the Primary Lever Assembly 6-B-0)
To vary Clubhead Speed, vary
3. Acceleration Time (Length of the Stroke 10-21)
4. The Release Interval (Centrifugal Reaction 6-N-0)
So it is optional to use any one or any combination of the four alternatives. Also study 12-0 in this connection.

this was fun.
