Do you prefer a backswing with no plane shift? Or are you referring to eliminating it all in the downswing?

I think a loop can be matched with a pivot that can create a tremendous amount of speed. The only reason I'm mentioning a loop is in an effort to describe a shallowing out the downstroke of a steep backswing with early/multiple shifts.

I prefer Zero Shift in Both Directions. The Bottom right illustration is my Backstroke procedure. I call it a Single Shift but it is not Hazardous. The one on the Bottom Left is Hazardous.




If you want a really shallow impact, then move the ball closer to low point. Why do more?
