TGM "Straight Line Power Package Delivery Path" are Hands Delivered on a Single Plane (no Plane Shift). This is the Wheel Track HK talks about. Face on, it's not a Straight Line, but Down the Line it is a Straight Line. In years past there has been confusion about this.
If that is the case then why does Homer illustrate the concept with the face on caddie view? I think this is simply his concept. Don't think your right on this . . . not the procedure just illustrating the concept.
In Editions 1-5, HK is referring to Hitting Patterns and his comments remain as true today as they did back then.
Huh? What evidence do you have to support that?
In the Sixth Edition he added "Throw-Out" for Swingers, but with a Warning about the occurrence of an earlier Release.
Earlier release isn't something that should be warned about . . . . the Elbow Plane has more #3 angle and thus is more #3 dependent in it's release motion requirements. Nothing to get spooked about . . . . just how it works for the On-Plane requirements. The TSP is more #2 Dependent.
A Turned Shoulder Plane Locates the Right Elbow On-Plane and Closer to The Belt Buckle. This Geometry also includes a Right Forearm at 90 degrees to the Torso at Release.
Where's your evidence for this?
Shoulders are more open at Impact for Flatter Swing Planes than Steeper ones because more Pivot Rotation is needed to locate and Keep the Right Elbow On-Plane for Impact (the Right Elbow needs more Pivot Rotation to locate it closer to the Ball when using the Elbow Plane while Swinging)
