Turned Shoulder Plane/Zero Shift

[tongzilla]

Those pics left me with lingering doubts as to the practicality of a zero shift on the TSP.

Due to personal preference, natural inclination or the pressure of conditions it is not always possible or advisable to adhere to a single Inclined Plane classification throughout the entire Stroke.

The Zero Shift Sequence is actually in the book. However, it's not put together on the same page.

If you want to see the model for a Zero Shift Stroke (on the Turned Shoulder Plane), look at:

1) Address: 10-6-B- #1
2) The Top: 10-6-B- #2
3) Follow Through: 10-14-D #3

Tongzilla,

Did you mean 10-13-D #3?

Also, would you consider the three photos -- 10-13-D #1/#2/#3 -- a complete model for the Zero Shift on one page?

To whom it may concern,

In Ted Forts swing sequence posted in this section of the site.

Is he using a zero shift "hitting" stroke on the turned shoulder plane??

or

Is he shifting from the elbow plane to the turned shoulder plane??

Also...
Swinging on TSP with zero shift appears steep when looking at pics 10-6-B #1 adn 10-6-b#2....Just thought i'd note that.

Sorting through the Duffer's Bible!

Oh dear, I meant 10-13-D #3 rather than 10-14-D #3 (which doesn't even exist!).

And yes, I would say 10-13-D #1/#2/#3 is just as good a model for the Zero Shift as the references I gave earlier. Which means contrary to what I said, you can find them on the same page.

You're doin' great, Tongzilla, making us think and learning a ton in the process. Thank you for all your wonderful contributions. Keep'em comin'!

Sorry about starting this food fight. It certainly wasn't my intention. I got the answers I was looking for, although I should've worded my original question more clearly. I just wanted to confirm that there are other viable methods of getting the club from the top of the swing down to impact other than a return to the elbow plane (which many instructors state is THE way). Also wanted to make sure I wasn't seeing the wrong thing in Els's and Toms' downswings.

The photos in 10-13-D are Toms-like, no?
