if you take Hogan 2 frames back from the impact picture then his hands are higher and fit what he is saying about Jack as the shaft is not pointing behind the ball but sill many inches behind the ball with the shaft still trailing the hands.
sorry Brian but i don't go along with what he says. you could use the same picture and say the force makes you bend lower just as much as he says it makes you stand up.
you said three ways to bring the club back? i must of missed one as i only saw Grippers and no-Grippers.
cheers

When the club is swung the forces generated will cause it and the arms to be pulled away from the body, if the arms hang loosely down at address then the clubface will move out causing heel or shanked shots unless the force is countered or allowed for. There are those (Few) that use muscular effort to keep the club in the same address plane. Those that bring the hands and shaft to a steeper plane and those that use a one plane swing where the arms are pre-extended at address and maintain the shaft on the same plane. That's the three
