Now for the Downswing
After reaching the top on plane, how to make the downswing on plane?
Here's the tricky part, because the feeling of an on-swing plane comes from the rotation of the shoulder. But the downswing is not initiated by the shoulder. The shoulder rotation is just an effect.
Initiating the downswing with the shoulder will tend to result in an over the top (outside-in) move. What seems to work is to initiate the downswing by tucking the right elbow into the right side and then quickly turning the right hip toward the target.
Tuck then hip turn.
The club will pass close to the right side and after a crisp impact the club is released on the follow through and the shoulder rotates on plane.
Sounds complicated but tuck then hip turn simplifies it.
