So....
Sounds like we need some definitions!

No, I meant that I swing back on elbow plane then shift to TS plane and swing down on TS plane.
Over the top does not mean a steeper downswing it means that you are swinging left of (coming over) the plane line.
"How do I tell if I am swinging over the top?"
Assuming your lie angle is correct...look at your divots. If they go left of where you were aiming then you came over the top.
Pull hooks could be that you are swinging on plane and just have a closed clubface. Remember, the ball starts pretty much where the clubface is pointing at separation and then curves right or left depending on the path of the club relative to the clubface.
one of the toughest moves in golf is the downswing transition. I am trying to work on right now getting the club bisecting my right bicep at the start of the downswing. people say just get to the top of the swing and let it fall or swing it right back down and none of that seems to work. when i look at every tour pro at the start of the downswing they have the club bisecting the righ right bicep.
the only way i am able to get into this position is by shifting to my left side and trying reroute the club on a more shallower path than it went back on.
any advice on how to get into this position?
Hi Mr Manzella,If you'll post your video, and I'll help you anyway I can.
I've seen your swing. No offense but you really need to educate yourself on the three imperatives and the three essentials, buy some, if not all, of Manzella's videos, watch the youtube videos, and really spend time reading, watching, learning and then applying.
It just seems like you want quick fixes for your swing.
Read, watch, learn and apply. Applying what you've learned is essential. Don't give up. And be patient with all this learning.
thanks for the link, i understand the concept, that video leads me back to my original question. when that club is traced up that plane and leaves the plane onto a secondary plane (shoulder plane), it is the down swing which entails leaving the secondary plane and getting back onto the original plane that causes all the problem and i am striving to find an explanation of how to get back onto that original plane. i have heard let your arms fall, put your hand in your right pocket and they dont seem to work.
