[12 piece bucket]

First off I would just like to say hi to everyone, I have a been a frequent reader of TGM related blogs during my struggle to attain a solid golf stroke and at this point I had a few questions regarding impact.

The first being will an under plane swing always result in moving the low point of the swing backwards?

I hate to bring up a swing video but for the sake of discussion I will present it here

My question is would the movement of the low point(in this case) be related to a drop of the correct plane or due to incorrect hand path(more round about then toward the ball)?

Could the plane shift cause this flip, or do you see other things that might trigger it?
Thank you for all the beautiful information you have put up on this site and I look forward to making some(hopefully) valuable contributions.

First of all there are some BEAUTIFUL pieces in your swing. Love the way you move your arms and the power package alignments . . . The problem you have is with your head or the center of your shoulder turn being WAAAAAAY too far back. I wouldn't necessarily say you have an "under" problem so much as a need to get CENTERED AND MORE FORWARD (Right for you) problem. From some view your swing actually looks "on plane" but your center has NO FIXED RELATIONSHIP to the ball. That's the point of being centered.

Check your set up. You have in my opinion too much shoulder tilt at address. Do this with out a club . . . get into your golf posture and have your left hand on your right thigh. Then tilt your shoulder so that your right hand moves more down your thigh to level out your shoulders. From there take your grip.

If you'll notice in your motion your head loads left from there in the backstroke and then moves further right and down (due to your knee action). My prescription would be . . . FEEL LIKE YOUR ARE GOING LOOK UNDERNEATH THE FRONT PART OF THE BALL ON THE BACKSTROKE (NOT THE BACK BUT THE FRONT) . . . That should get you more centered. From their you can slide your hips but notice your left knee and right knee action . . . WAY TOO DIPPY. Have a look on youtube at some "caber toss" video. You need to feel like you are tossing a giant log up in the air and down your stance line. That image should help you clean up that knee action and hip action . . .

Actually you could do some log tossing (uhhhhhh huhhh ) on the backstroke too while feeling like you are looking underneath the front part of the ball. You are "making pie" on the backstroke rather than having a centered motion. You are doing that dippy knee thing to get to the ball due to all the disruption of your pivot in the backstroke. If you had proper knee action you'd hit a foot behind it.

You move your arms beautifully . . . . just clean up the pivot and you're golden. But you need to get the backstroke piece correct . . . that will ALLOW YOU to clean up the knee action. The knees function should be to keep your head or pivot centered.

NOTE . . . . Had to edit this due to you standing on the wrong side of the ball . . . so please forgive if I screwed up in some places.
