I ask if The mechanics I will describe below can also be found in TGM.
To demonstrate;
Find a long - about 10 ft. - dowel.
(I used a 10 ft. section of pvc 1/2 in. electrical conduit)
Hold it accross your choulders.
Take a stance parallel to the plane line,bend forward the "normal" waste bend.
if the shoulders are turned back and forth the "dowel" will lay on a plane above the normal plane.
Pivot to 90 degrees as in a normal backswing.
The dowel will now be 90 deg to the plane line and on the same slope as address.
Hula-Hula- shift your hips down target line but don't move your shoulders.
(this would be dynamic move but I cant do that and explain0
the dowel did not move but your spine has both a tilt an the forwaqrd bemd.
Now if the shoulders are rotated they will rotate on a plane that is tilted. Much as Hogan explains.
How does TGM handle this geometry?

before the big boys chime in, I will say shoulder plane was always a bugger for me to understand, that said, I know your answer is in 10-13-C and 10-13-D. And our only concern is with the right shoulder staying on plane, the left only re-acts to the right. Understanding the shoulder plane always gave me a problem because my only 'on plane' concern was the tracing of my right forearm. I have since increased my spine angle and stack myself over my left knee more which has shed more light on my shoulders and plane angle than before.
There is no left shoulder in tgm only right axis tilt allows the right shoulder to deliver the power package down planews preferably on the same plane which gives it it's best support and guidance otherwise the shaft will be in the elbow olabe and the right shoulder down the tsp like most
