Here is myself, well above the plane, like in the next county.



I really would like to understand how to get it on plane like Tiger, or Els.........I assume this would be a critical step in my learning process?
IMO take a look at the pics . . .

1. Booty
2. Shoulder Tilt
3. Left arm

You can try to trace all you want but the bottom line is your pivot can jack up your plane . . . shoulders basically control the plane of the arms swing . . . spine/hips control the tilt of the shoulders . . . knees control tilt/turn of hips.

Your shoulders are too tilty at this point so your left arm gets "out and away from you" as a result. Note how Tiger's left arm is essentially vertical to the ground at this point.

Hogan may have thought he did this . . . but he didn't . . .





So . . . keep your head centered . . . keep your left shoulder from coming up and swing your arms down faster. Your right shoulder is too low at this point so your hands are getting shifted out over the plane.






Feel like your your butt stays up against the wall and keep that booty UP longer as you slide your hips forward . . . hula hula.

Booty Back Golf as O.B. Left says . . . feel like your hips are going back behind you as you go forward . . .
