But, physiologically, you can't have a conventional grip in a golf club, and keep it on plane, and not rotate it and take the club back to 10:30-11:00. Humans just aren't built that way.

I'm able to get shoulders 90 degrees with palms square to target line at address, and maintain all the critical positions previously discussed. The triangle will fold toward the target near the top IF one is still connected. John Daly gets in this position when he is swinging well (that's been a while). Its all a matter of how deep the shoulder turn is. I do not actally swing that deep, nor do I recommend anyone attempting to apply these principles go for the fold. The opportunity for error is magnified exponentially for each increment of breeching IVROM; mine is about 10:15, and I have found nothing is gained by going past it. One's maximum velocity at impact is determined by leverage, compression, shoulder to club equilibrium, acceleration, all of those things and more, not length of swing. Dana Quigley?
