Do you mean that I should NOT let my arms seperate on the downswing?

You could swing back on a 2 Plane Swing/Upright, lay the hands off at the top and be in the same position as the Hardy 1 Plane Swing.
I have tried a very upright 2 plane type backswing, it just does not feel natural.

You want your right elbow to be driven down the line so you do not push the clubface out to right field forcing the ball to go in the same direction.
I think Brian will be happy to hear this...I think I am doing too much PUSHING with the right side. Greg's comment when I said "fire" the right side made me think I am getting too aggressive and forcing things. If I feel that my left arms PULLS across my chest, I hit great shots. That whole staying connected thing. How does that sound?

Thanks Cmays for the replies. And Dawg, this is exactly how I wanted this thread to go. I need to tie all of these ideas together, and I think I am very close.
