Going back to the original thesis of this thread.
If a single plane, with or without the aiming point concept, is used. And, this plane is well above the elbow plane. Does the same problem occur? If not why not?

Great question HB.

Couple of thoughts :

In Homers single plane downswing he presented what he termed the "high elbow plane" . An elbow plane that lined up with a Turned Shoulder Plane allowing for on plane Right Shoulder support to the on plane Power Package in Startdown and an On Plane Right Forearm Flying Wedge through the ball. Not very common in the field I know.


Some time ago on this forum Yoda pointed out that the Aiming Point is represented in the photos of 10-19 through to 10-23 by a dark shadowy like arrow. An arrow perhaps made of black card or tape by Homer and placed flat to the plane in the photos . Its a straight line cutting vertically across the face of the plane of the plane board that whats her name is standing in. What the heck was her name again? She's still alive eh! Living in Hawaii.

Anywho if you flip along through the pics the arrow can be seen more in some photos than others but I believe this is due more to Homers exposure than his intentions. I even see it , if faintly, in Circle Path 10-23-E #2. Now go to the photos accompanying 10-23-A , Straight Line Hand Path (associated with zero shift IMO) and 10-23- D Angled hand path (associated with a shift down to the (true) Elbow Plane). Notice how the arrow which is clearly visible in these photos has been moved!! Moved from Top in A , to a position at the top of the straight line path on the Elbow Plane in B. There being a "vertical drop" of the hands in B which would be better seen from a down the line perspective but is shown as a angled line in that photo from caddy view.

So, Im thinking the thrust of the Aiming Point Procedure commences once you have reached the top of the impact plane angle. Makes sense to me you wouldn't want to thrust at the aiming point and drop vertically at the same time. Plane shifters have to wait a little longer!

My apologies for not answering your question more directly .
