Looking at their left arms being in line with the shaft, (I suppose that is that wedge thingy ya'll talk about), when does, if ever, that shaft get out of line with that left arm? When can their right arms race around the left? Study, study, study this thang. The answer lies within.

Not sure if this is where you are coming from....but

I seems to me that the only time (from these pictures) the the shaft could get out of line is well after impact.

Elbow plane

Joe,

My beliefs around elbow plane>

I wouldn't worry about shifting to the eblow plane if it doesn't happen naturally. And if you're a Hitter I would not be concerned with elobow plane at all.
The elbow plane is accessed by getting the right elbow in the correct position on the downswing. If you want get there, you need to make room for the elbow be a bit deeper (closer to the body) than if you are swinging down a steeper plane. Most golfers do not have enough room for the elbow (even on the steeper plane) and end up Roundhousing. So for most this can be dangerous. I think it also helps to rotate the right shoulder a bit more relative to the torso at the End to allow a bit more time for the shift to occur.

EDIT: I think that some golfer have builds that make it difficult or impossible to access an elbow plane effectively. END EDIT

If I am wrong, perhaps the pros out there could provide comment on the physical changes required to access the elbow plane.


Cheers

Not really, the only photo that is 'suspect' is the second one cuz i can't quite see where the shaft is.

But you can't be using saying the TSP and have the shaft line up with your right forearm THAT EARLY, you just can't do it.

ok ok...i studied the pic for a while and it looks like 2-3 aren't on the eblow plane. Hard to see all the shafts.

Looked too fast, some of the clubshafts are too steep and higher than the right forearm.
