Bennet & Plummer talk a little bit about the importance of the angle of the left arm in relation to the target line. Their ideal position for the left arm is 20degrees inside the target line when the left arm is parallel to the ground in the downswing.

The posted swing sequence vs. the YouTube sequence are very different in regard to this checkpoint.

In the YouTube swing sequence, his left arm is parallel to the stance line on the downswing when it is also parallel to the ground. He hit a nice bullet fade.

In the swing sequence posted on this thread, his left arm is angled 45 degrees inside the target line when it is parallel to the ground. There is no way he could hit anything but a draw/push on this swing.

Bennet & Plummer say that the angle of the left arm at this checkpoint is largely controlled by amount and rate of shoulder turn. If you look closely at the YouTube sequence you will see how his shoulders start unwinding immediately from the top of the swing, while in the posted swing sequence on this thread he moves more weight onto his front foot, moving his swing centers forward, but his shoulder rotation is slower on the downswing.
