[12 piece bucket]

yoda, i see the bold 'start down' statement. do you mean it should be this way at end of backswing? or something else? especially seeing he is still on his backswing...i understand the geometric relationships that this 'position' would be perfect up AND down, is that what you are saying?

I think Yoda's statement was misapplied to the plate number. Check out the 2nd Smaller Swing Sequence from the down the line view. Look at the "transition" from the Top to Start Down. Then re-read the post. Yoda was referencing Start Down not Top. Take away the first picture here . . . and you may mistake him for Hogan.
