Watch this latest Milo Lines video.
I agree with Milo that the trail upper arm should never internally rotate and perform a punch elbow motion between P4 => P6 because that will "tumble" the clubshaft over-the-plane and produce an out-to-in clubhead path between P6 => P7.
Milo actually performs those 3 biomechanical actions superbly in his personal golf swing action.

Milo obviously knows how to avoid an OTT move, but I do not think that he gives the optimum advice in this video in a very thorough/complete manner. Listen to what he states between the 8:00 - 8:40 minute time point of the video where he states that he does not think of actively adducting his trail upper arm and he vaguely talks about his trail arm just reacting to his pivot motion.
I personally think that three biomechanical motions involving the trail arm must optimally be performed between P4 => P6 to create the optimum early-mid downswing action - i) the trail upper arm must be actively adducted; ii) the trail arm must perform a pitch elbow motion where the trail elbow leads the trail hand down to P6 so that the trail elbow is always closer to the target than the trail hand and iii) the trail forearm must increasingly supinate between P4 => P6 (and actually continue to supinate to P6.5).

The red splined path is his hand arc path.
Image 1 is at P4, image 2 is at P4.5, image 3 is at P5, image 4 is at P5.2 and image 5 is at P5.5.
Note how fast Milo is adducting his trail upper arm between P4 => P5 by noting how much his trail elbow drops below the level of the lead elbow during the P4 => P5 time period.
Note that Milo is performing a well-executed pitch elbow motion where his trail elbow gets actively driven down to a position just above his trail hip joint by P5.2 (image 4).
Note how much Milo supinates his trail forearm between P5 => P5.5.
Milo has previously produced a number of videos on this same topic and here are two capture images from those videos.
In this image Milo is showing how to optimally perform a side-arm throwing motion with his trail arm.
Look at how he is actively adducting his trail upper arm between image 1 => image 2 and how is simultaneously performing a pitch elbow motion (where his trail elbow is closer to the target than his trail hand). Note how he increasingly supinates his trail forearm between image 2 => image 3.
Here is a good drill that Milo teaches.
Note that his hands are rotating clockwise on the rim of that ball basket as he performs that drill - and that requires i) an active trail upper arm adduction move and ii) a pitch elbow motion of his trail elbow and iii) increasing trail forearm supination.
Milo obviously knows what are the three correct motions that the trail arm must perform during the early-mid downswing, but I don't think that he discussed each one in enough detail in this latest video.
