I think it would be fun if you members analysed the swing of John Daly.

1. Has a flat left wrist at impact
2. Traces a straight plane line
3. Has tons-o-lag. (accumulator lag, I'm sure he also feels some lag pressure on the downswing )

He has a great swing, it is just long. I actually love his free hip turn in both directions.

Somebody very knowledgeable but whom I will allow to remain anonymous pointed out something interesting in Daly's swing. I've often seen announcers on TV talk about how he crosses the line at the top - actually the end? (shaft pointing right of the target). If you think about it, his shaft should not be parallel to the plane line but pointing at the plane line which it nearly is.

The guy who pointed this out to me said it clearer. What do you guys think? Is he accross the line or appropiately pointed at the plane line? I think he's on plane.

He normally isn't pointed exactly at the plane line, but outside it; I think this may be due to the fact that his left wrist is so bent at the top. But you're right. Once the clubhead dips past parallel, it should be pointing to the right (not parallel to the target line), just like a club short of parallel should be pointed left.
