I have been bending my irons and cut them off 1 inch, also I adjusted the lofts weaker my PW is now 49 degrees, Trying to get into a more Hogan like posture and find my thumbs under the shaft at the top of the back swing, so I can find the Harley.

If you stop it at the 35 second mark - where the clubshaft is just about parallel to the ground on the follow-through- you have that Couples/VJ/Phil - right hand off the grip except the fingertips- interesting.

Here I put in Slow-mo on the second video, since thats the one I lost the right hand grip on. I thought I was the only one that would know that..LoL I am trying hard, and you can see the improvements.
Since you're experimenting, why dont you try getting your elbow on the shaft plane at address with a level left wrist too. It'll take some adjustments of all kinds to get em there. See the photo of Brian Gay for a reference. But that is where you need to be at Impact after all. Id be interested to see what happens once these Alignments are incorporated. Im thinking you'd be more like Hogan than before.

Thanks O.B., I tried that awhile back, emailed LB about it and he talked about left arm extensor, along with a few others things, just did not feel it was for me after trying. I like the idea of what you, LB and the book says and I think it works very well with most people. As for me I am more set after upper body controlled face squaring and the extention of the right arm after low point. I play my ball at low point so you can see that me trying to extend the right arm and align it with shaft angle at address is not a good move for me.

The #1 Alignment is the Flat Left Wrist. Without this, every other component adjustment is a waste of time.
Read the EdZ Drills. Watch Yodas Finish Swivel Video Again.
Uncock the Left Wrist into the Ball. Do Not Roll, Do Not Swivel, do not pass Go. If you don't Uncock directly into the Aft Quadrant of the Ball, you will go directly to Jail.

Daryl - Its noot to my suprise to find that you are right but! That swing is from almost a month ago and I have achieved so much since then. I will put up a new face on Monday, big difference.
The left wrist only needs to be flat @ impact or slightly bowed. Once the ball has been fully compressed and the club enter's the ground it does not matter what happens next. As Hogan's core turned hard after impact the hands worked left and inside. In Homers first book he based it off the the Geometry of Hogan's swing, so were is Hogan holding a right arm flying wedge after low point, since he plays his ball at low point? 4 Barrel hitter, 2-M-3 is more of what I am trying to achieve.
I have made many changes over the last month, I only started this little project on Sept. 21st 2009 and have had 23 or 24 days of practice for 1 1/2 to 2 hours each sesson. In my mind and what I see I have made drastic improvements, and challenge anyone to make the same improvements in this time frame with light practice. I could already play before, I played and chased the tour around for several years. Now, I am rebuilding to maybe give it one more shot, maybe. Even now my scores are good and hitting the ball perfect is the least of my worries on the golf course. My wedge game from 140 yards and in and my putting are my legs, the rest of what I am working on now is to find "Harmony".
Know what you mean about Hogan and the Right Arm being on plane at address. But in that photo of him above, you'll notice a shag boy out in the distance , right at the top of the Shaft Plane line you drew. That is his target. As such the camera is set up square to his foot line but his foot line, stance line is closed! Dramatically. So the camera is not square to his Plane Line or the flight of his ball.
This exaggerates the off the shaft plane look of his right arm. Not saying that is an Elbow Plane it isnt. But he isnt as far off it as he looks here.
In TGM, an On Plane Right Forearm means Having a "Right Arm Flying Wedge" The Right Forearm and Clubshaft are on the same Plane as the Right Wrist Bend. It does not mean that the Right Forearm is ON The Swing Plane at Address or Release. The Right Forearm Wedge is at Right Angles to the Left Arm Wedge.
Furthermore, there is only one location in the Swing where the Flat Left Wrist actually Points to the Target; with 10-2-B; Low Point. Therefore the Right Forearm will only be flat against and resting on the Swing Plane at that Location. Unless you're on the Elbow Plane.

6-B-3-0-1 THE FLYING WEDGES The Clubhead may appear to move in a an arc around and outside the Hands when related to the Left Arm – the very basic Left Arm Flying Wedge. But when related to the Right Forearm, it appears to move “On Plane” with the Right Forearm, at its normal rigid angle (Bent Right Wrist) – the Right Forearm Flying Wedge. So – except in Sections 1 and 3 (Chapter the entire Left Arm, the Clubshaft and the back of the Left Hand are ALWAYS positioned against the same flat plane – the Right Forearm and the Clubshaft are, in like manner, positioned on the plane of the Right Wrist Bend AT RIGHT ANGLES TO THE LEFT ARM PLANE. That is the precision assembly and alignment of the Power Package structure and is mandatory during the entire motion. Hitting or Swinging. Study 4-D-1 regarding “Grip” and “Flat Left Wrist”. Also see 7-3. Then, ideally, the Left Wrist is always Flat and the Right Wrist is always Level (4-A-1, 4-B-1).

7-3 ... So the Right Forearm must leave – and precisely return to – its own Fix Position (7- “Angle of Approach” ...
Therefore, when the Right Forearm is at 90 degrees to the Plane line (near address or release) during the Downstroke, it does not point at the Plane Line.
