Not enough shaft lean, thus no reason to start swinging left.

define swinging left?
I don't want to hijack this thread, but I've been meaning to ask this question and I think it fits perfect here....
Can someone define swinging left? I mean, I think I get the idea and the purpose, but, within a swing, when do you actual want to swing left? At impact? Or from the top? Is the idea to do it from the top but just not get overly out to in?? Or yank it left thru impact?

Steering.
Reverse pivot - back swing.
Faulty (lack of) pivot - down swing.
Running out of right arm.
Poor ball positioning at address.
Improper (lack of) weight transfer on down swing.
Lack of appreciation of the need to (swing left post impact).

Too quick of a pivot and the arms getting stuck.
Read the D-plane threads and it should be clear.
...
Just a couple..
Clubhead arc being too in-to out pre impact...
Lack of pivot completion...

I have and it still isn't really clear to me either. Maybe I missed the thread where it was clearly defined. Would anyone mind restating?

I didn't know that existed either. Don't worry, there are many of us "dumb folk" running around these parts.

Swinging Left....
This is 260 yard tee shot by Lindsay Gahm during a lesson today.
It drew about 3 yards and nearly hit the telephone pole we she was aiming at.
THE IMPORTANT PART TO NOTE IS THIS:
If she would have hit the ball dead straight, the club would have "Swung Left" even more.
Understand the idea of "Swinging Left" now?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't swinging left the part of the black line after the ball in Brian's pic of the "U-plane"? On the ground it looks like the clubhead is swinging inside after the ball. Left of the targetline for a right-handed golfer.

Yup.
If the green line is the actual ball flight line how are you going to hit the ball straight at the Flag stick?

The green line isnt the ball flight line. Its an extension of the attack angle down and to the right

Great video, what a terrific thru impact position this young lady has. For me, the number one reason you can't swing left is being underplane or laid off somewhere in the downswing. Interestingly, you can correct a laid off backswing, ie Jeev Singh, Mark James, with a downswing move that puts the club back on plane. However it is much easier with a show the armpits backswing. Am I on the right track with this one?
