I'm demonstrating a zero shift here and an onplane right forearm at address......

Wonderful pic Mathew, thanks.


Notice the plane of the hands - the plane that PP#1 travels.

Draw a line from the hands at the top, back down to the hands at address, to the ground.

THAT is what being 'on plane' is about.

The so called 'plane shifts' are only due to what appears to be 'the' things to follow.

Follow your hands. Feel your hands. Feel the pressure points in your hands.

Force must be on plane, it must not 'change' planes, or you give up efficient motion. Force is transmitted through the hands, where the hands meet - PP#1 stays on ITS plane, which is very nearly parallel to the right elbow plane
