Flat Shoulder Turn & Laid Off HELP!

[buffheel2]

Just put my swing on video within the past 6 months and noticed that my shoulder plane gets flat on the way back, and I am laid off at the top. I’m sure those two things are related. I also think my issues start on the takeaway as well. This laid off/flat shoulder position causes me to get stuck and way under plane on the downswing. Since seeing my swing on video I have worked hard to get a steeper shoulder turn and get the club more down the line at the top. I have improved greatly with this, but am still not where I need to be in my backswing. My downswing is much closer to being on plane than it was before, but still a touch off due to what I believe is my position at the top. Any advice/drills/tips to help get my swing on plane and more consistent? Thanks

Hands working way more in during the takeaway would help all of the above

Thanks for the reply. More down my foot line on the way back?

Curious, I’m of no pro help like I teach . But what kind of problems is this leading to on the course @buffheel2 ?

I have fought a hook for a long time, and then the occasional block/shank due to my very shallow/under plane angle of attack. My iron play has always been by far the weakest part of my game. I’m trying to get steeper/more upright and down the line going back to help be more on plane coming down. At least that is what I am thinking. I am no pro either, so I could be way wrong. ?

Hands should literally work in as you turn. Away from target line

I feel when my hands work in on the takeaway the club gets behind me and I get really flat. Maybe I am over exaggerating and keeping the hands away to prevent this. Thanks

That’s because your arms over rotate. The more the arms work in the LESS your arms will want to overrotate and the easier it will be to get the shaft more vertical
