Plane shift on down swing

How does the plane shift on the down swing happen? This plane shift drops the club down toward the ground before it starts going at the ball right?

For some, yes. There's a down move into the ground but it's sometimes disguised by how much early rotation there is. Others have an out shift before there's a downplane shift.

What are you working on?

Trying to get the club in the so called slot but for some reason I have a tendency to start the drop but then my right shoulder goes out not at the ball. I might have a lack of lower body action. Could this be a cause of the type of swing I am getting? How do I get the drop to be automatic? I would like to get the shaft on the elbow plane, a vertical drop than go forward.

hmmm I wonder why no one responded to your last question? Must be the mention of the "elbow plane" They prefer a turned shoulder plane around here. ....

What has worked to help me get the club at least near the shaft plane is to get my hands pretty high, and then drop them before turning your shoulders. Brian has video out there called "catch the drop" you may want to search it out on YouTube
 
a lot of posters preferences around here for starters....

Im all for using the TSP vs elbow, as a mere mortal hacker I find getting back onto the elbow plane awfully tough. I tried for a while, but now if I can just get the shaft somewhere between my rt shoulder and my elbow going into impact Im happy.

FWIW, Brian taught me to get to the elbow plane. So I think you're a little off base on that assumption.

Why don't people get it yet? He doesn't necessarily prefer one thing over another, but will teach you what it takes to do it right.

He, Brian, prefers everything and what you need from everything to get the job done and upgrade what you do.

That is why he (Brian) is the best!
