    Why does returning on the turned shoulder plane give you more distance? IMO, the resulting misalignment of the shaft and right forearm would reduce force not increase it.
    Because I just can apply a bigger force with my right shoulder and sustain it
    longer. Although my right forearm does not trace the TSP, it traces the SAP and
    aligns with the shaft (down the line view) in the impact zone...
    Please see the attached document...
    and please let me know what you think... Maybe I am misinterpreting the whole
    little yellow book...

    Please see Kenny Perry's motion (down the line view)...
    http://www.v1golfacademy.com/library...=Kenny%20Perry
    IMO he uses turned shoulder plane on the downswing...
    When he is at the top, draw a line from the ball to his right shoulder and to
    his hands... That is the TSP...
    Notice how his right shoulder is moving on TSP towards the ball...(from top
    to follow through) Not underneath the plane, not above the plane... right
    on the plane...
    And notice how his right forearm gets aligned with the shaft in the impact zone...

    After watching the video, Perry returns his hands down the turned shoulder plane to impact. Most excellent ball strikers, Hogan, Norman(Moe), Knudson and scores of others, have their hands move below the TSP and some are actually ON the shaft axis plane.

    Virtually ALL golfers align the shaft with the right forearm in the impact zone, however, some get there via a different route. Upright swingers NEED excessive lower body drive which creates a huge timing issue. What I believe John Dunigan is suggesting and shown in the position of scores of good ball strikers, is that the right forearm AND the shaft ALIGN, half way down. I may have a different understanding of what "two force vectors"mean, but when the shaft and right forearm are aligned, maximum force can be achieved.

    In looking at the shots of Perry's swing, when he is half way down, his right forearm is horizontal while his club shaft is oblique, about 45*. Not a good position to be in. To me, this would result in accuracy and consistency problems, if this were to be done by we mortals. Perry is a superior athlete and can repeat the compensations for his misalignment. If the straightest and most consistent ball strikers align the shaft and the right forearm, half way down, why shouldn't we?
