Ted is using the Angle of Approach procedure with its steep Plane (2-J-3-B) and you are using the geometric Plane Line (the straightline baseline of the Turned Shoulder Plane). Therefore, his Angled Hinging appears to Fan less than yours -- Angled Hinging on a steep Plane approaches Vertical Hinging -- even though you are both using the same procedure.
Also, he hits the Ball very hard, and the Ball stays on the Clubface longer. Therefore, the Slice producing characteristic of Angled Hinging is greater than normal, and to compensate, he must Close the Clubface more than normal.
You're on the right track, Danny. Stay with it.
Yoda,
1-L, #6. The Clubshaft always points at the Plane Line except when they are parallel to each other.
Ted's impact alignments are MARVELOUS, and even though his procedure does not follow the above dictum to the full extent ...aren't predictable impact alignments the end that we all should be seeking?

I'm extremely happy with my impact alignments, especially from the front. I've got a couple of recent videos that I've compared to Trevino, and I'm happy to say I look like I'm copying his impact alignments. If there's anyone that I want to look like when I'm touching the ball, it's him.
I'm not perfect, nor would I ever claim to be, but I'm much further along the 'Journey'. I'm also happy to say that I'd never been able to do such wondeful things in such a short amount of time without my proud Papa, Lynn Blake, a.k.a. Yoda, Mac Daddy, Da Man, The Genius, The Legend, the one and only Homer Reincarnate.
