I cannot see this Below Plane and I do not understand what it looks like or what I am trying to feel with the hands. What I think I understand is that Below Plane is directly underneath the plane line somewhere in the dirt. If possible, could someone please help me understand so that I can visualize the Below Plane--thanks.
At address, unless you have zero #3 accumulator (high hands/shaft/forearms in line like Moe Norman), the direction your left arm is pointing, down, will be 'inside' the ball/target line (closer to your toes).

Extensor action can be thought of as trying to extend your left arm, stretch it longer in the direction it points, and since it points inside the ball/target line, that stretch is 'below' the plane.
