I diss the Elbow Plane, but in all seriousness, it's an elegant swing. Elbow Swing Players with lots of accumulator release separation are more like artists than golfers.
I can use the Elbow Plane as well as anyone but I don't like the amount of physical effort. I don't like any physical effort. I hate the effort and I won't swing a club that way. It takes all of the fun out of the game for me. The TSP is a no-physical-effort way to swing. Zone 1 is simple and the overall feel is that I'm just making a motion. Comparatively, the Elbow Plane Zone 1 just tires me out. I'd rather go to the gym and do 3 sets of a Total body workout.
Here's my comparison, with the TSP I can hit 500 Drives and I don't get tired. With the Elbow Plane, I'm wasted after 100 balls and my hands and core muscles will hurt the remainder of the day. I'm sure that if I did it every day for years, that wouldn't be the case.
On the other hand, in favor of the Elbow Plane, it's very pleasurable to set up at 50 yards from the Green and plunk 200 balls using the elbow plane. I find very few things in life as pleasurable. I can do it with my eyes closed.

That was fun and well said, Daryl!
As far as energy consumption goes the TSP is probably the more environmental friendly alternative. But EP is the healthier one.
I agree that there is more work involved in EP. But the major part of it is done by the big muscles and hitting from the feet feels really effortless. So I don't mind spending a few calories extra.
I like the fact that I can go by my instinct. I don't try to loosen the grip or anything fancy when I want extra distance. I simply try to hit the ball harder from feet up Same thing basically when I want to take off a few yards, which I do quite often when there's wind on the course.

How is this relevant to actually playing golf? You don't hit 500 drives in a round....shouldn't the choice be made on what works best?
