Low ball hitter, hate the 3-wood, etc. When focusing more on maintaining a constant RW bend things got better in a hurry.

The putter even gets better with that image.

Thanks comet.

Ive heard you talking about this under plane thing before. ARe you by chance over turning , swiveling your left wrist in Startup? Nancy Lopez, Raymond Floyd style? Swiveling under plane? It begets the opposite action coming back into the ball , also bad. I used to do that many moons ago. I sort of took it outside but brought the head back inside with an over turning of the left wrist .....brutal stuff from years ago.

Tracing and using the Right Arm to take it back fixed it , got rid of the last remnants of it ..... finally and forever. The Right Elbow bending UP supplies the UP of the Clubhead, the pivot turning supplies the IN. They both contribute to the BACK. The three dimensions of IMpact and takeaway being BACK, IN and UP. The UP of the Right Elbow bending ensures the on plane motion .....without it you'd have Single Horizontal, a conical shaped motion to the primary lever as opposed to Double Horizontals on plane motion. Think the Machine from 1-L.

Its confusing I know but you could just plug your nose and go with it , the Right Arm Takeaway , with its Right Elbow Fanning and PIckup or Right Elbow Bending and see what happens......bet you see some on plane motion. Its a brilliant bit of HOmers thinking. The right arm is uniquely positioned to the lifting while the left side is not. The lifting does occur over top of the right elbow. And like motions we make when doing all sorts of everyday things the shoulders do not have to plane themselves to the target the Hands are going towards. YOu dont align your shoulder plane to the thing you are reaching for ....... a glass , your shoes etc. The shoulders provide some power, facilitate things for sure but the pivot and the hands (which is what the brain is directing) go their separate ways , directions in common movement and in the golf swing.

I dunno just sharing what has helped me....... profoundly. I used to provide some IN with the left hand and that was killing me. Gotta keep those flash lights pointing at the target line or you're off plane.

Hey have you ever goofed around with flash lights or lasers stuck in the butt end of your club? Its a revelation. Getting on plane has immediate. results. Immediate!!!!!!!
