This is the same Fred McCrary from the Superbowl Champion New England Patriots, who presently plays fullback for the Atlanta Falcons. He's one of the nicest men you'll meet. But, after meeting Yoda, he had a nice swing to match. The photos in this post and the one to follow should be viewed in sets of two and from left to right. First the Before and then the After. Quite a difference, wouldn't you say!
Everybody please note that Fred (immediately above) and Larry (the first student in this thread) had exactly the same problem: Both were way Off Plane in the Backstroke (and consequently, also in the Downstroke). Interestingly, though, their respective problems were in opposite directions! Fred was way above Plane at the Top whereas Larry was way below Plane. Not to worry: At the end of our time together, both were On Plane. And both had a Finish Swivel.
No 'quick fix.'
No 'band-aids.'
Just The Golfing Machine as written by Homer Kelley and taught by a competent Instructor in adherence to its Principles.
Most important, a Student-Teacher relationship established in advance.
It appears the only point at which their trailing arms line up with the shaft is at impact and beyond. (perhaps startup)
This seems to be at odds with swings of the great hitters, and advise of just about every other instructor I can think of.
Are you saying that coming from inside is a power leak?
The Right Forearm can only be On Plane when the Right Elbow is On Plane. And, on the Downstroke, that occurs only during the Impact Interval (Release to Follow-Through).
Regarding "coming from the inside," Golf Stroke Geometry mandates that the Clubhead travel Down and Out to its Low Point (1-L-13). In other words, from the 'inside' toward the Plane Line (1-L-10) as directed by the Right Forearm and #3 Pressure Point.

these on plane swings seem very upright compared to the shaft plane--aren't clubs designed to work from the shaft plane angle?? Does one need to adjust one's clubs to swing on the turned shoulder plane ??
