Actually I take that back, Allen Doyle can't be touched on the flat o meter. Jimenez is pretty crazy as well.
Jimenez is only flat to the top. His over the top gets his in a good spot late. Doyle just has no backswing.
Chad Campbell and Justin Leonard are as flat as anyone ever. Lanny was flat. Most TX guys are flat out of necessity.

A lot of these MORAD/TGM swings are flat as well. In fact I think just about every one of them are. Zach Johnson comes to mind as well, his club face is dead closed at the top.
Campbell's swing will deceive you in terms of flatness, and I don't think the Campbell/Hogan swing comparisons that people like Kostis make are fair. Leonard I agree, looks more like a baseball swing than golf.
I think Hogan post car wreck is much more flatter than Campbell.
Know nothing about them. I know the swing, on almost anyone, happens on two planes and any machine will struggle to replicate that. Flatter, with locked right elbow, would be simpler, for sure.

TGM is Homer Kelly's work. Brian Gay has been pretty successful using it. Based around two swing patterns, Hitting and Swinging or CP/CF. Stack and Tilt stole a lot of MORAD stuff, very similar swings.
I'd rather keep the swing on one plane rather than two, Moe Norman was brilliant at that.
Norman has very close to a single swing plane, but he still doesn't. The dynamics of the legs assures that nobody does.

That's the benefit of a flatter swing, it stays more along the original swing plane and you don't have to redirect. That's not to say redirecting doesn't work, it quite obviously has been successful for a great deal of players.
