Yah agreed. Maybe the sooner the better even. Homer preferred the golfer to be on his Impact Plane at Top after all. Zero or Single shift. Which rules out the Elbow Plane I guess. The Elbow plane is fine and dandy if you have mastered the shift down to it but there isnt an advantage to it. Although Homer reasoned that a golfers "psychological preference" for a certain procedure must be taken into account. The high hands trend back in day (higher plane that TSP at Top) required a shift. A "vertical drop" of the Hands was necessary , common advice. "Drop it into the slot" etc. I remember an instructor likening it to an ice skater tucking her arms in to increase the speed of her spin even......... Ah the seventies........."Drive the knees"! Those plaid panted knees. Never thought about this before but Homers book might have seemed even more bizarre to our knee drive'n, high handed, plaid panted brothers back in the day? I remember Five Fundamentals looking awfully "flat" to my young eye. Beautiful but flat. Who's shift to the Elbow Plane would you rather have for simplicity sake.........Hogans or Millers?
