If I start the downstroke by rotating my lefthip and getting all my weight onto my left heel I tend to hit a good shot.
If I do anything with my hands at the top of my swing I tend to go OOT.
I also use a toned down version of the same move for pitching and chipping.
I use an exagerrated version for punching

I still have way too many OTT shots and could be more on plane in the down swing.
I need that secret Yoda!!!
I'm hoping repeated watching of Alignment Golf over the next few months will sort me out.

You and me both my friend......wonder if you can wear out a DVD by watching it too much
I just picture Yoda's move on the downswing and try to mimic it.

From the ground up. Weight starts moving onto the left leg (left foot pushing into the ground) as the hips bump slightly and start to rotate. The arms and hands are relaxed and simply along for the ride (the hands are "aiming" only with a little help from the right shoulder).
I have a little "UTT" (under-the-top) loop during startdown that I'm learning to embrace. (I've spent many hours trying to eliminate it, but I think it's just part of "my" motion).
I'm changing everything, and this is where I'm making the biggest change. I'm picking up a Smart Stick, and I am going to work very hard on keeping the club on plane, pointing at the sweet spot plane, on the downstroke from the start down past follow through. I think that is where I really need the most work.
Believe it or not, I have had NO concept of the swing plane in my own motion before...

Hi!
I´ve been on this site for over a year now and thank everyone for helping me understand the golfswing better especially Henning, the swedish ambassador of TGM!
I have been battling with i) - going under plane on the way back and ii)have a strong tendency to throw it OTT on the way down.
2 things have really started to help me with the problem areas
i) the image of keeping my right forearm higher than the left has created greater axis tilt and held the shaft on plane better - whoops... maybe wrong thread!
ii) I bought a CROWBAR 750mm, 2.6 Kg, (biltema for the swedish) fits in the hands excellently and even has a "clubface" feature. One of the best training aids I´ve ever had! I swing the crowbar before (could need some explaining!) I go to the range in order to get the "down" not the "over".
I'd never felt so much down, I feel the underarm throw feeling and the sheer weight of the thing makes an intenser swinging feeling. I don't know but presumably doing a few sets with it would n't hurt ones distance?!
Thanks again for great info
What winter-time drills -- and real time play drills -- will put you 'in the slot'?
All I think about is trying to deliver my hands and right shoulder down plane.
Yoda, winter has passed and it's already spring... BUT surely winter-time drills -- and real time play drills would be just as effective in the spring.
I apply pressure into the ground, i feel my left shoulder move down, out and forward applying pressure in that direction. Once my ankle, knee, hip and left shoulder joint are in line, then i rotate keeping the left shoulder on a flat plane to promote horizontal hinging and keep maintaining the pressure into the ground via the left foot.
