Under plane

[EdZ]

How do you correct getting too far under the plane in the downswing? I have a tendency to take the club out on the backswing and drop it to the inside coming down.

Is anyone familiar with this problem? How would you correct it?

The ball will go dead right and short.

Often this happens when the shoulder turn gets too flat, and you don't turn fully enough on the backswing to get it back to the plane - thus you can't go 'downplane'.

One potential reason for the shoulder component change to 'rotated' from 'flat' in the 7th edition.

That said - a key to helping resolve it is to think of getting the lead shoulder 'under' your chin on the backswing, and the trail shoulder 'under' your chin on the downswing. Be careful not to overdo it, can lead to head bobbing, especially on the backswing. Getting the shoulder 'under' your chin on the backswing will allow you to get those hands into a higher position and onto a steeper plane angle both back and through.
