Flattening out in the downswing
I have found that keeping a horizontal(flat) plane of the arms(and the clubhead) in the downswing makes it easier to delay the hit and retain the pressure at pp3,and pp1 . The gravitational force invites to a casting of the clubhead in a steep downswing. It may be more neutralized by a more flat plane in the downswing. Am I right or?

I am working on this as we speak, and following a very uncomfortable feeling motion devised by my guru in order to effect a correction. My shots are generally sh!te but I can understand why and see the benefits to be gained once I get the motion sorted out.

The steeper you (I) get on the back swing, the more the tendency to then come over the top on the downswing with a need to re-route the club in order to strike the ball on the inside aft quadrant.

Even with this odd feeling motion that I am working on the sensation of coming into the ball at the correct angle, and the satisfaction gained from a compression causing shot, is worth the trouble of doing something that I perceive to be completely alien - at the moment.

What you are seeing as a horizontal, flat, plane might just be the plane that you should really be swinging on.
Persevere if you are getting consistent, repeatable, results that are an improvement on what you were doing before.
