Default Best way to get on the elbow plane

Been working on this for a while lately but haven't found any effective ways to do it. What is the best way for a golfer who usually swings on the TSP, or something in-between the TSP and the elbow plane to get on the elbow plane on the downswing? Is it trying to get the right elbow against the body on the downswing, or setting up with secondary axis tilt? Any help would be really appreciated, thanks a lot.

Don't worry about or try to get on the elbow plane, if it is not something you naturally do.

Quite a few people have wasted a lot of time and ruined their games trying to do so.

Turned shoulder plane or somewhere in between the elbow and shoulder are O.K.

I know that swinging on the TSP is OK, but as I go through impact I shift from the TSP to the EP. This is why I want to learn to swing on the EP. I am not matching my shft angles and as a result hit a lot of thins/fats.

I have literally a hundred ways to get a golfer to "downshift" to the elbow plane.

How?

Because I made the mistake of trying to get people to do it.

Ok, you don't care, you just want the info.

Sorry, I am not biting.

If you want to post up your swing, I'll be happy to tell you what you need to do to improve.

Mr. Manzella, I don't care if I swing on the EP, the TSP, or some other plane as long as I can hit the ball solid. The problem is I'm swinging down the TSP, but releasing on the EP. I'm not matching the shaft angles from hip-high-to-hip-high, and if I do that on the TSP or the EP it doesn't matter to me. What would you recommend to get me to release on the TSP? Thanks.

Default missed it by that much

You must have skipped over the last sentence in his response. It is a great offer.

You should watch my new video, being released today:

NEVER HOOK AGAIN 2.0

That pattern, done correctly, will result in late shift to the elbow plane for many golfers.

Our own Mike Jacobs being one.

Ask him if he is EVER hit it better.
