I have never seen a top player who used a Rotated Shoulder Turn which was on plane in both directions.

MJ,
I agree, the rotated shoulder turn has a host of problems, not only the above but also Homer mentions it excludes the use of axis tilt!
So it's probably only applicable for short shots.
I think a LOT of people interpret shoulders rotating around the spine in conventional instruction as the 10-13-C Rotated Shoulder Turn. Attempting it requires the correct waist bend for the club at hand, and NO axis tilt in the downswing because theoretically the shoulder is already on plane.
For most applications it's a flat backstroke shoulder turn and an on plane downstroke shoulder turn. See 10-13-A and 10-13-D.
