Just checked out the down the line video. Looks pretty good, I personally wouldnt worry about the hip stuff. Just work on right forearm tracing the plane line. Look at the frame before impact. If you drew a line through the right forearm it would not be pointing at the plane line, rather well outside it. If you could get that pointing at the plane line at the same point, the hands would be coming in quite a bit lower, with less need to downcock the wrists to get back to the ball. Checkout Davis on frame 5 here: http://redgoat.smugmug.com/gallery/81492 . Draw a line through his right forearm and it is pointing right at the plane line.

That right forarm trace is what I was trying to make happen through my right elbow position. If you compare the old swing to the new one, the right forearm is quite different. In the newer swing, I think it is much closer to tracing the plane line than in the old swing. But as Homer said in 7-3, "So, Right Elbow Action either powers and/or controls all three elements of Three Dimensions Impact.."

If you do the right arm pickup, is it possible to trace the target line back and up with PP#3?

That's the whole point of it - to trace the straight plane line with PP3 going back.

I guess I just can't picture it. WHen I think trace down the line your right arm would stay straight for a longer period of time until the length of your right arm forces the bend, unlike the pickup is lifting the club up which takes the pp#3 off the target/plane line. If using the flashlight drill how does the flashlight stay on the line if you lift the club?

If the plane is a sheet of glass does the top of the right forearm/pp#3 rest along that glass all the way to the top? The plane line though shifts up at hip height to a more vertical plane. right? you can't swing along the same plane as your right arm or you would be swinging to flat. oh the confusion...

It is absolutely possible to keep PP3 (right forefinger) aiming at the plane line the entire backstroke. Notwithstanding whether the right arm bends or not. Just take it back and let an imaginary light from your right forefinger (PP3) shine on your straight plane line on the ground.

Think of your right elbow being/staying on a plane board. Throw down plane.
