Thank you Daryl for you insights. I agree within my own swing the thought and feel of transporting the power package unchanged until my left hand reaches approximantely my right hip really give me the feeling of that underhand pitch. Secondly, in your statement above you said that when "your Left Hand reaches your Line of Sight to the Ball that's when your Right forearm becomes on plane." I understand what you are saying and really like your drawings. However, and this is where my thoughts are really focused, can one transport the power package as you have discribed above and get the right forearm on the inclined plane before the shaft is parallel to the ground. Hogan's swing always pops into my head when I think about this, particularly the fourth image below. Wouldn't you agree Hogan must release #4 much sooner it order to arrive at his position at image #4? [IMG]http://golfillustration.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Hogan-Swing-Series.jpg
I'd say that the right forearm is not on plane when it is horizontal, it would have to be parallel to the baseline.

...due to the pitched roof of the plane?

Hogan is not an unusual case. The Elbow Plane seems to forgo stage 2 of the Downstroke Acceleration Sequence. This is when the Left Arm Blasts off the Chest. Hogan, like many today, Go directly from Shoulder Accceleration to the Pulley (Clubhead Release). But thats why so many players, including professionals, lose Clubhead Lag into Impact. But I have noticed that these players seem to have very Fast Pivots. Maybe a compensating factor.
For most good players, the right forearm points over-plane at release and doesn't become on-plane until impact. Step through all the frames from :12 through :13 -
