All I know is there are a lot of great players that "swing left", or appear to be tracing a plane line left of center. This is all D-plane means to me. When I do this compression does not suffer and will never be accused of "polishing" the ball. My pivot is much more engaged (and I can sense the 3 stations a lot better as a result i.e. swinging to a particular destination in the finish.) The shaft exits mid body as opposed to over my left shoulder. I feel a lot more pressure in my hands, and my clubface is a lot "quieter" through impact i.e. no hooks! Tough to argue with a physicist who helped make the A-bomb!
I can sure see your point Okie. Wouldn't Lee Trevino be a great example? He loved to swing down - way out - and forward, catching the ball way back in the circle. He had to align his machine way left to avoid the quackers...

It's still making the ball leave practically in the same direction as the clubface just as Homer Kelley stated...

At least that's what I'm visualizing. If anybody finds something that works for them, how can it be wrong!?!?!?
