Am I correct in thinking that a club that is on Plane, moves more smoothly and feels quicker and better balanced?

I'd ask if I was crazy in thinking that, but OB and Daryl, and maybe others would not be able to resist beating me with such an effective stick!

I play with differing swing thoughts from time to time as I'm sure many golfers do. In the past, pre LBG, my best Swings have come from trying Jim Hardy's description of a one plane swing. I'm not defending any of Mr. Hardy's definitions. I'm just wondering if some of the components of his Swing can help a novice serious golfer be more consistent and effective. Before LBG, I did not notice the left elbow pull as part of Mr. Hardy's description. Because of my research into the Finish Swivel, I realize my left elbow has to bend to Swing down and the left palm has to wind up facing Jesus at some point. We might say that the Finish Swivel is proof of the existence of God, as the left palm looks up in a good shot. ("Every good and perfect gift is from God.")

I've noticed that when I try the components of Mr. Hardy's Swing, I can feel my left elbow touching my left side and my forearm rolling with the left palm swiveling up in a very close mirror image of my RFT. I do not "lawnmower pull" since studying at LBG but use EA to RFT up. The thought occurred to me that I should feel such a Swivel regularly. Maybe, I chicken wing a lot, all the time since I am so concerned to keep my wedges intact that I hardly ever feel my forearms cross.

When I try my version of the Hardy Swing, I let the RFT turn me and the left elbow bend turn me back. The club winds up on my left hip as the turn stands me up straight. The Plane of the swing feels very flat so ball position is important.

When the other fine golfers G.O.L.F., what does the left or front elbow feel like as the club face overtakes the arms? Is there a feeling that the left elbow is stuck to the left side as the Finish Swivel, finishes? is that the same feeling that good golfers feel when they "twirl the baton" as Jeff and Lynn spoke about in their very good "Address" videos?
