  • An "On Plane" Right Shoulder from Start Down to Follow Through to give the right amount of Axis Tilt and Hip Slide
  • All Pivot Components moving parallel to your selected Delivery Line (usually the Plane Line) at Start Down
  • A fixed Pivot Center
  • A 10-2-B Grip with no wobble in Clubshaft attachment during the entire motion
I stand by my post. Lekommend asked what the most important alignments are in a Golf Stroke, and I gave it a shot. I don't understand why people try so hard to discredit what I say. I think the advice I gave is good advice, so why try to make it sound so bad? I said "On Plane", not On Plane (and no, I didn't just edit it), because I realised at the time of writing that you don't have to use the Turned Shoulder Plane at Impact. Look at 10-13-D #3, the photo with the caption, "End of Follow Through". What do you guys think that arrow in the photo is pointing at? Yes, that's right, it's pointing at the Right Shoulder socket. Oh, look, it just so happens that the tip of the arrow also points at the Inclined Plane. But it doesn't mean your Right Shoulder always has to be on the same Plane as the Clubshaft at Follow Through (or even Impact). Just look at the down-the-line angle of Lee Trevino at Impact (12 PIECE BUCKET, need your here. Please post that photo (or the whole sequence) here for our reference. Thanks!). He clearly uses the Elbow Plane, and note how far "above plane" his Right Shoulder is. But the important thing is that his Right Shoulder isn't coming from the outside -- it's still going Down and Out relative to the Plane Line (which is Open in that sequence). He's even hitting a classic "Trevino Fade" there.

So that's that. I really don't have the time nor inclination to argue any more about this point.
