For flatter Plane Angles there is more In and less Up in the Three Dimensional orbit (forwards, up and in post low point). So Elbow Plane does have more Left (In) to it than higher plane angles. But to do this and swing left in a non aligned to the base line of the Inclined Plane manner is to risk what Homer termed "Bending the Plane Line" as the clubhead orbit goes three dimensional . .. non planar, with all its loss in precision and power.

Plane shifting can and should have no effect on the Base Line , Plane Line. 1-L-18. In this way the clubhead orbit stays 2 dimensional and the plane is not "bent".

Heres a plane board , but one that shifts angles (double shift represented here) while maintaining its aligned to the plane line relationship.

I wrote this post in another thread a couple of days ago, but it is relevant here and worth a reprint . . .




In a Rhythmic, On Plane Golf Stroke, the orbiting Clubhead moves outward -- to the right and towards the Plane Line -- until it reaches its Low Point. Then, and only then, does it begin its journey inward -- to the left and away from the Plane Line.

The Flatter the 'exit' Plane Angle (after Impact), the more 'left' the Stroke will appear. But, this is a matter of Plane Angle, not Plane Line. The liberating truth is . . .

In a geometrically-correct Golf Stroke, the Clubhead never moves away from the Plane Line before Low Point, and it never moves toward the Plane Line after Low Point. So, it's Swing right, and then, Swing left.



As a simplified alternative . . .

Trace the Straight Line Baseline of YOUR Inclined Plane!
