more on me, you lucky people!
psheehan, for sure you should have posted. If newcomers like us can't test our knowledge on each other, when can we? What you've said seems right on the money.

I have been working with flashlights, and, at at slow speed at least, I am tracing a straight plane line. This may be a result of actually being able to apply Delayed Hip Action when swinging very slowly inside. (more on this later)

I have had problems with the right shoulder. I don’t really get a lot of feedback from it, but I was hitting hooks with my driver and after working on that specifically, now get a very consistent little fade. I may not be paying it enough attention with the irons... this will change.

I'm almost certain (no video) that the shaft is not getting to horizontal. However, and I'm working on this, my hands do get above shoulder height. Feeling the extensor action seems to help. Another reason for this may be that I have a hard time with the Delayed Hip Action, 10-15-B. My hips seem to want to wait until my hands stop before they bump. At least that’s how it feels when I do half pace swings in front of the mirror.

I have no sensation of pulling at all, and whenever I LOOK LOOK LOOK, the clubface is across the plane at end of Follow-Through, but again, no video.

I think my grip is ok, slightly turned Strong Single Action. Sometimes I get the feeling that I have the club closed in my hands, although that may just be a result of the ball flight.

I don't have a Standard Shoulder Turn, 10-13-A, which surely is anything but 'standard'. My shoulders, I believe, rotate at right angle to my spine, 10-13-C. In front of the mirror, I can produce a Flat Backswing Shoulder Turn, but it takes an awkward lifting of the left shoulder and isn't something I've tried to incorporate to date.

Also, I'm not Zero shifting, 10-7-A. I'm yet to understand how that works on the Turned Shoulder Plane. I physically cannot have my forearm pointing at my shoulder without a straight arm, and if the shoulder and forearm are both meant to be on the TSP during release, that’s exactly what is required... obviously I'm missing something.

The first time I went out and gave Hitting a bash, I hit some beautiful high shots that tailed to the right on the way down. Now I have a tendency to draw it, if not straight. That’s without closing the face at Address to compensate for angled hinging

So there it is, all the ways I'm not matching up to 12-1-0, that I know of or suspect. Oh and I have a little Bobbing and don’t think I'm using a Straight Line Delivery Path
