Hi BTS,

The Ying and Yang, the Right Elbow and Hands:

The Hands feel Alignments, and subordinate all components of the Golf Stroke to its command for performing one single imperative; Trace the Plane Line. The Hands sense the Planes angle and Direction and of the two, the direction is more important. The Hands feel only a straight Path to the Plane Line, not curved or angled. Deviation from that straight path, such as plane Shifts Up or Down, forces the Hands to comply with Pivot Positions rather than the Pivot Components complying with the Hands Alignments. The Hands will gladly pass out assignments to the Pivot rather than be thrown around and told to “hang-on”. Geometry over Physics.

The Path and location that the Right Elbow travels, determines The Path and location that the Hands travel. If the Right Elbow truly controls all three elements of a three-dimensional impact, then harnessing the Right Elbow is essential to controlling the Golf Ball. We have three tools at our disposal, which together allow the Hands control of the Right Elbow. “The Magic of the Right Forearm”, “The Right Forearm Flying Wedge” and “Extensor Action”.

Short Swings such as Basic Motion, Chips and Putts, require the Hands to Control the Right Elbow and Arms. Longer Swings draw more Components into Motion and Action and thus, more Components and Actions for the Hands to Control.

That's what I meant: "the plane shifts toward where the action goes"-in your case, the Right Elbow/Forearm.

The pivot action, including sliding, rotating, bumping, tilting or whatever-ing, or their combinations, shifts the plane towards its corrosponding plane, so do(es) the hand(s), the arm(s), the shoulder(s), the lower body, ...., and so on, with the shoulder rotation has literally the minimum of degree of freedom and the actions of the hands and arms the maximum.

On the right-elbow plane, indeed, has the huge advantage. Getting onto that plane, however, demands manipulation, which, depending on the action and, thus, degree of freedom involved, brings various degree of variation, which can luckly be overcome by various degree of instruction and practice.

Shoulder rotation only, in the present of "LAG" and in the absence of "Steering and Hack", can also bring it onto the "Right Elbow Plane" at impact and through impact with, I believe, the minimal variation and, thus, instruction and practice.
