Roundhousing IS my problem. I've got everything else, FLW, BRW, good pivot. BUT at the start of my down stroke that right shoulder goes a little out instead of down and I smother hook it.
If I could get my right shoulder down plane consistently, I really feel like I could be a good (scratch or better) player. Instead I'm stuck at 5 because of 2 or 3 smother hooks per round.
BTS... I don't understand your statement. Isn't it still possible to load the lag even round housing or bent plane?
Yes, but very difficult, unless you really want to "hit it straight".

Yes, but very difficult, unless you really don't care if you're gonna "hit it straight".
It's in your intent.

"Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一).
The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
"Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn. Bend the shaft.

What type of knee/hip action are you using in your pattern? How well is your right forearm set on plane at impact fix? Do you use a left foot position that is square or open to the target line?
As always, let impact fix be your guide to alignments.
Check out the Tomasello videos, chapter 1 for a good pivot drill.

If you are really serious about fixing this problem . . . mat, net video camera and hard work are your answers . . . I'm convinced you can't drill this away. You gotta figure it out yourself and MONITOR your progress via video WITHOUT having to worry about where the ball is going.
People can tell you do this . . . do that . . . it'll feel like this . . . but it is TOTALLY a personal journey. Your feels must be confirmed with the visual feedback of video. You may have to feel like a mongoloid to make it happen . . . but the video don't tell no lies.
I took some video of my swing yesterday and confirmed what I already felt I was doing.
Above the turned shoulder plane a little on the downstroke coupled with clubhead throwaway, which I did not have last summer. No wonder I'm pulling it left of Hillary Clinton. I feel like I'm back to square one.
I think the throwaway actually comes from taking too many practice swings in the garage during the winter without hitting balls, there is nothing to throw the lag against, so over a few weeks it just gets lost. Same thing with roundhousing.
I've got a net and a mat, I will get a better camera and get to work.

Throw your lag against an impact bag......and throw your right shoulder the same way while your at it...
I know I need one......
I want to private label an impact bag for LBG. If anybody in our community can help me with a foreign manufacturer-direct contact here, I'd appreciate a Private Message. I've run into a couple of dead ends on my own. Thanks!
