V.J. Trolio's Hands Plane for short Pitches is a sophisticated concept for achieving a special effect beyond that of the normal shot. It requires either personal or video demonstration because a written description simply cannot get the job done.

Until either of these is available -- and I think V.J. would agree -- you are best advised to use a Plane Angle no Flatter than the Elbow Plane. This is particularly true for players lacking a well-educated pair of Hands.

Yoda ,I did try to make the point that I picked this up during a very special few minutes.It is in the book -and I find it very easy ...for some reason,but at the moment only for short ,high shots around the green.Still working on hitting a straight 6 iron though
