I have a few questions regarding your concept of planar shifts in Hogan's swing.

This is the photo from your book.



You have drawn two planes - a backswing and downswing plane - and implied that Hogan swung on the lowered downswing plane because of the movement of his center of mass leftwards in the late backswing, so that it is closer to the pivot axis. I cannot understand your point of view from two angles.

Jeff i know you won't like this but i have to tell you that VJ is absolutely 100% correct in how he has interpreted Hogan's golf swing. Hogan lowered the plane in the transition it is clearly evident even with the head position lowering as well. Now since Hogan at impact hits virtually the same plane line as where he was at address postion what does that tell you? Well any further so called "shallowing" or dropping (whatever you want to call it) of the plane would make him be underneath and have a raised handle at impact.So putting all the math together Hogan made an "over the top" move with his ARMS but not with his BODY.
