I thought that the clubshaft only lies against that specific inclined plane (either hand plane or elbow plane) when the hands are below waist level. When the hands, and therefore clubshaft, are above waist level, they are usually moving along a different inclined plane - usually somewhere between the elbow plane and the turned shoulder plane depending on the degree of plane shift. I therefore thought that the idea of the clubshaft lying flat against the inclined plane as only applying to a small section of the clubshaft swingarc - when it is within about 18" of the ball. Am I wrong to think in that manner?
