My analysis of PGA Tour players is that from start-up to backstroke, the clubshaft NEVER goes below the right forearm. The only one player I know who does this and made a good living at golf is Raymond Floyd.

One of my aims this week and the next is to make sure that from a down the line perspective, my shaft post-impact,"exits" at my right shoulder or a hair above. I still think I am wiping my shots a little and this should prevent the shaft from moving left too soon past impact.

Thank you for the interest and I will keep all updated.
I agree that the club should not go below the right forearm. Even though Floyd started the shaft too low as you said, he corrected this by shifting to a more vertical plane at the top by lifting his right shoulder after the flat initial move. I also like where you're going with the more vertical post-impact shaft. The current fad is swinging the hands way too far left. I look forward to the post-mod videos.
