Left Arm Flying Wedge and Plane
Is the entire Left Arm Flying Wedge Parallel to the Plane (not On Plane, as noted by Martee!) during the Stroke between the Startup Swivel and Release Swivel?
Thanks!
I think Mike O's answer on this is 'no, except only for brief periods'.

And if so is the Flat Left Wrist a product rather than a cause?

Without the Flat Left Wrist there is no Left Arm Flying Wedge, regardless of its relation to the Plane.

On Plane or Parallel to Plane?
The reason for the question, is that if the aft side of the shaft is on plane, then the left arm would be hard pressed to be on plane

You're being quite precise Martee!
Well, "left palm facing directly toward the Plane" would mean parallel to the Plane to me.
I have edited my question at the beginning of this thread to accomodate your insight  .

Absolutely! E.g. with a Turned Left Hand...
Ok...we are all picking on little things about my question (which is all very good), but no one has attempted to answer it!

Answer to your initial question - no, it is not, although as a mental image/feel this can be helpful in some cases (Hogan's pane of glass)

I would say Yep if employing Standard Wrist Action. Since the the Plane is defined by the Sweet-Spot Plane with Standard Wrist Action the Sweet-Spot is In-Line with the Left Arm.
That's my reasoning anyhow . . .

Actually....
Wasnt Mike O ( and my) point that the entire left arm is not on plane at all times? I do not recall a discussion in regards to being parallel.....
