I was looking at the dartfish swing analysis (down the line PW) of ted fort and was wondering if the shaft is off plane (2-F) from the backstroke to the top. At the top it looks like the butt is pointing at his toe line and not the base line. From the downstroke it moves back on plane to the finish swivel. I am not knocking his swing at all as I have seen him kill it. I just wanted to know if anybody else can see this. It looks some what like a nick price move.
this was dealt with i think in the same thread...because he is a hitter he has a new plane line, one that is steeper due to the arc (or is it angle?) of approach.

I'm only a couple of months into to this, but I'll tell you what I took away from this for application.
I had a wimpy PP#1 drive and could see in my vids my right Wedge didn't have decent degree as I came to impact. I needed to find where I was losing it. Backstroke or was I throwing some of it away on the Downstroke. I went to the vid of Ted.
Look at the still of his Top. Although the club points almost vertical. His left arm and wrist are steel straight and on the same plane. His right arm is a full 90* to that plane. A monster of a Wedge with all the applicable PPs aft. Mine was not so.
I'm working on Extensor Action. As long as I maintain the forearm trace, I make sure the right elbow gets fully loaded and at 90*. My technicals are still foggy for the Downstroke, and my Action thought is simply Drive PP1 and PP3 at the inside quadrant of the ball, slightly in to out.
All I know for me is that the full 90* Wedge at the Top makes it easier to get PP1 assertively to the ball, and PP3 gets heartily fed.
