For example the flattest usable swingplane is the elbow plane- I use the HANDSPLANE. If it is not stated in the yellow Book IT IS WRONG!!! 10-7-G. THE REVERSE LOOP This is similar to the Reverse Shift except that the Shift is made from the Squared Shoulder Plane Angle but also is done with a looping motion of the Clubhead. Handled with skill, this Shift can be very effective. So I am using a reverse Loop from Elbowplane to the Hands only plane with quite good success but it is not stated in the yellow Book! So please TGM followers take a look at my Swing at youtube!!! http://www.youtube.com/user/tarifachris So for Mr. Kelly I am hitting constantly accidents? This really confuse me because he gave us so many good pieces... Chris What??? You don't Swing on the Hands Only Plane. You Swing on the Elbow Plane. Very Shallow because your Elbow is Lower Than Average. With the Hands Only Plane, the Toe of the Club would be about 2" above ground and your divot would look like a thin line caused by the heel of the club scratching the ground. Does the Heel of your Club create a divot that looks like a scratch? Homer Kelley stated that the Elbow Plane is the Flattest Plane for properly soling the Club, but everyone knows that. Did you have the Lie of your clubs Flattened 10 degrees by a clubmaker so that you can strike the ball on a Hands Only Plane? The Hands Only Plane can actually be any inclined angle. The only Requirement is that ONLY THE HANDS be on plane. No on-plane support by any other component. It's used for hitting balls when they roll under bushes. You can hit the ball about 20 yards. No accumulator support. Hitting a Ball with One Hand on the Club, off of a Tree Branch 5 feet above your head using only wrist motion would serve as another example. Using your golf club to scrape Ice off of your windshield in the winter would be another example. TGM is Alignment Golf. If you have difficulty with the information in the book, then maybe you would like to see the Cliffs-Notes? __________________ Daryl Last edited by Daryl : 06-01-2009 at 08:02 AM.
