A really good thread is going off the rails due to arguments about plane lines drawn on hazy old footage filmed from non-ideal angles.

At best you can get a qualitative point across ( as Brian did) but little more than that so lets not quibble over exact TSP / elbow plane etc... or start another thread...

What is much more interesting is Brian advocates that a backswing move like Snead or Palmer ( technically off plane as per TGM) actually seems beneficial TO SOME and has been reproduced at the highest level in players of differing eras...

It could be said to have evolved in seperate eras ( or been passed down to the next generation ) and is therefore a factor that,either has no gross disadvantage to the user or is sufficiently advantageous for tour survival.

You do not see that discussed on many forums...any ideas why it works...what are the subsequent benefits from this move?

Or extend the discussion to those who take the club the other way off-plane ( TGM description) like Fred Couples maybe...They both use very different plane lines for back and downswing....what components are required to make these moves work?

Ok - maybe not back on same track as Brian started...but at least not quibbling about names of lines...:rolleyes:

Yeah I agree, not to mention Parallax...
 
I was a little worried that my takeaway had gotten a little too far inside. The pictures and discussion here made me feel much better....
