Consider this BM-forum thread. www.brianmanzella.com/golfing-discussions/15134-why-2.htmlBM stated-: "About 90% of all hackers have the arms and shoulders on the same plane at the top. A lot of good players do—now—too." I know that BM favors getting the left arm steeper than the shoulder turn angle, but I have never understood why it would be advantageous in terms of accurate ball-striking ability. It may allow the clubshaft to go down the back as seen in this Jamie Sadlowski overswing action, but that overswing action could theoretically be very problematic in terms of clubshaft control for many golfers.

Not a very hard question. If a player stands upright and swings his arms flat around his body, his swing plane will be too flat for anything except a driver and a wedge. Probably easier to steepen the arm swing then get the player to bend over more at address. BTW, Sadlowski's clubhead drop is a function of his wrist cock (presumably helped by flexible wrists), like John Daly, Bubba Watson and the pre-crash Ben Hogan. In contrast, JB Holmes's left arm is just as steep at the top as John Daly, and he has just as big a turn, but keeps the club short of parallel by not cocking the wrists very much.
