Correlation Between Loading/Release And Plane Angle

Not sure if this specific question has been answered before...here goes anyway.

A few questions to consider:

1. People who have "lots of angle" (i.e. Sergio) tend to be ones that swing on flatter downswing planes, yes? I could be wrong as I am just going off the top of my head...but off the top of my head, it would seem to be true. If true is there a reason why?

2. Any TSPers (steeper plane) with "max delay?" (what about double-cocked?)

I realize a flatter plane visually makes it LOOK LIKE (from a face-on perhaps) someone has more "load angle"...but I can't think of any double-cocked Max Delay TSPers, off the top of my head.

Maybe someone knows of some.

...

I will say I am no longer too concerned with what plane I swing on and how my release operates so long as it works.

But to be honest it still drives me a little crazy that I can't seem to DO IT when I want to. I shank I mishit it I miss wildly and erratically and I struggle to get on a flatter plane altogether.

It's something I wouldn't mind learning if possible. Probably because it has been difficult (i.e. it is "a challenge") and because I want to gain understanding. (particularly if I am gonna teach people)

Not sure if it is possible for me to do it with much efficiency or ease at all.

This I think can be a pretty involved topic. It's one of those things that seems to be very individual from golfer to golfer: either you are inclined to the EP or the TSP...for whatever reason(s).

Players with alot of "angle" have swings that are inherently steep, so they play on a flat plane angle to widen the tangency to the ground to offset the steepness. Conversely, better players with a sweepy release have higher plane angles for the opposite reason.
 
Makes sense to me. I kind of suspected it was something like that.

Thanks Kevin.
