The location of the low point is a function of the loction of the center of the clubhead orbit.
You can't be dogmatic and say that the Low Point of any golf swing is always underneath the left shoulder. Mr. Kelley knew this and stated so in his book.
The swing preferred by Mr. Kelley has the right arm driving a primary lever assembly (left arm/clubshaft) that is swinging from the fulcrum (the shoulder joint). In this case, the center of the clubhead orbit is the left shoulder joint and the low point is where the lever assembly is vertical, directly beneath left shoulder joint. That is, as long as you keep a flat left wrist. If you bend the left wrist prior to low point, the left wrist becomes the center of the clubhead orbit and low point moves.
If you Right Arm Swing, the fulcrum becomes the Right Elbow and the low point of that swing is beneath the Right Elbow. Mr. Kelley discusses this in his book at page 146 (6th Edition), where he states: "The center of the Clubhead orbit is readily transferred from the Left Shoulder to the Right Elbow."
