If there are any drills someone can recommend that would be great. Thanks take a dowel and put it through your front belt loops so it is parallel to your plane line. If you fire the hips to hard or get too under plane, you won't be able to clear the right hip/dowel. Really gets those hands down plane. If your backswing is very flat, do some slow practice swings with a wedge with your back against a wall (feet about a foot away). That will show you how you can use your right forearm to take the club 'UP' plane. Get two mini mag flashlights, taped back to back. Find a straight line on the floor and practice tracing the line with the flashlights. Whichever end is pointed down should point to the line. __________________ "Support the On Plane Swinging Force in Balance" "we have no friends, we have no enemies, we have only teachers" Simplicity buffs, see 5-0, 1-L, 2-0 A and B 10-2-B, 4-D, 6B-1D, 6-B-3-0-1, 6-C-1, 6-E-2 EdZ View Public Profile Send a private message to EdZ Find all posts by EdZ
