Although for a short shot,putting ,chipping maybe there is the Push Basic , Minor Basic Stroke that is more of an in line arm extension deal that can as an option be aligned so it pushes straight towards the target or parallel left or whatever. To attempt to do this for a full shot is a common misconception for a new Hitter I think. It was for me anyways.

I love Daryl's references especially 1-L-15 .......basically you are thrusting until your right arm is straight. Thrusting down and out towards the Plane Line all the way to Both Arms Straight , Follow Through. Way past impact , or low point. Despite the fact the clubhead is moving Up and In. There is more down and out to be had than most people realize is possible, way more.
It is the down and OUT that prompted my original question -- to thrust out, it seemed that the elbow has to be somewhat under the plane (understanding that my point of view above all these planes distorts what might actually be going on!).

Regarding the "throw" feel -- I thought hitters "punched" from a somewhat higher elbow position?
