Natural instinct? What you are inclined to do?
Only until figuring out what he's talking about:

"....when you grip a golf club to take your first swing at the ball every natural instinct you employ to accomplish that objective is wrong, absolutely wrong.",

"Reverse every natural instinct and do the opposite of what you are inclined to do, and you will probably come very close to having a perfect golf swing.", Ben Hogan

YOU load and sustain the "LAG", during which the "LAW" releases it, ideally beyond impact.
"Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一).
The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
"Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn.
Bend the shaft.

Good morning ball. You're sitting so nicely up on the turf. All I need to do is just SCOOP you up. That's the first instinct of every hacker. Got to get this ball air borne and straight. Result. BANANA, FAT, TOP, PULL, POP UP, etc...

Down and Out to low point and make sure the ball is placed on the circumference before low point. FLW, Clubhead Lag Pressure Point and Straight Plane line; they are the secret to golf.

JUST A NOTE on Down and Out or the Inside/Out swing path. I've always had that motion regardless of what method or procedure was being used. Reason, my dad gave me his 7i and 5i to hit when I was 7. Now that club was so heavy for such a little guy that I couldn't help but drop the club and go DOWN and OUT.

Sweet Spot Plane
Purehitter, you mentioned "Until recently it was not easy to
verify swinging the sweetspot of the club head on plane and
in balance from start to finish".

What is the easy way to verify that the sweetspot is on
plane and in balance from start to finish?

I designed a 3-D swing trainer that shows how to do this. I am also the designer of rover golf swing trainers. The Power Angle Pro, Pure Swing, Power Release and the Power Drive Pro. I am working on a video and a book about this concept. I will keep you posted on the release date.

I know this is a bit off topic, but I noticed in his driver sequence that he chose to use the elbow plane before release, and had a rolled left hand in the release, just before impact. If he had chosen to use a slightly higher plane, ie: the club more between his arms instead of the elbow plane, would he still need to have a rolled left hand near impact? Im sure he did not think about rolling the hand, as it was probably part of his motion as a whole, just wondering if it would still be necessary if his club were in a slightly less inside position.

Yes and Homer gave us the answer by saying nearly every player has a fine out and fine forward but a lousy down.
