In your opinion what do you think is the best way to keep the back swing on plane, rft, stt? I seem to go a good job of keeping it on plane with a rft but feel as if there is no club face rotation
I think the stock answer would be that a RFPickup naturally would be easiest to keep the club going up and down the TSP....
But then again Nicklaus I think did a STT on-Plane (with some right forearm lift in there too of course....doesn't work otherwise)....same with "old Tiger."
...
And then again....a lot of people are Double Shifters/Single Shifters.

One of the biggest reasons people get off plane is that they let their hands move 'out' on the backswing, usually right off the bat - rather than the hands going back, up and in.
This results in a 'lift and roll' move where the hands are too far outside, above plane, while the clubshaft and clubhead are likely too inside and underplane (visually).
Practice your takeaway with the shaft along a picnic bench, which will let you 'allow' the clubface rotation and still stay on plane - tracing a straight plane line

How many of you have actually built a PLANE(Plastic Sheet) like Mr. Kelley had?
Alot of fun to be had just standing in the plane! I listened to Homer on one of the audio downloads from Croker site and felt inspired.
Feeling the plane around takeaway , impact is pretty easy with a small plane board but feeling where it goes after impact towards finish swivel ... that made a difference. I had been steering and now have starting using finish swivel to get the shaft on plane again after impact.
Mine can be assembled or dismantled in 5 mins so no hassle to use really!
I remember Mr. Kelley talking about the PLASTIC PLANE he built... the one in the book. He said something like... "You won't believe what it feels like, until you get into that Plane." He advised building one for yourself.
If, however, you are not having a problem with PLANE, and maybe have an unusual, but effective shift, for example, the PLASTIC PLANE may better be left alone.
