Also, as a "real world" issue, what do you think is the significance of being able to calculate the exact degree of wrist cock, or is this just a test question in the making? Another real world issue, is that you would have to put a golfer in a pretty precise and golfer to golfer consistent photo set up to be able to even analyze these issues with any reliability. And finally, other than helping us understand the relationships between the components how would you impart this knowledge as an instructor?

G2M,
I've enjoyed the fact that we are seeing the same description of Jen's plane in our minds eye. I'm still incubating as well.
I think there are some steps to knew discoveries.
First - It's prudent to have another qualified 3rd party expert prove the logic and math.
Second - It needs to be well understood enough that it can be clearly articulated to anyone with a High School Geometry level of understanding.
Third - The applications will evolve slowly over time as the practitioners learn to use a new tool. It may never have a practical application but be a jumping point to something else. I have a hunch it will have at least one practical application in computer modeling of the golf stroke.
For the time being, I'm just going to enjoy the discovery process. I don't think Mathew has thought through the applications or had time to. He's too busy fine tuning the new model.
Pretty cool stuff. In the mean time, there's still lots of s'plane'in to do!
