Hi Darius, you live in Europe? House looks bit continental Europe?? Edit - ah yes ... i see POLAND... cool Europe TGM spreads East... communism in reverse!! Traditional instruction is harder to break down that Berlin Wall!!!...ANyway...

Errr...you are not strong in history of 20th century, huh ? if we Poles only could we would have sent communism back to East 60 years ago...we did help to send it a bit later, but better later than never...

Not always easy to tell from videos where the path of the clubhead is but you seem sure that it is in-to-out and stays out... ie. the clubhead may appear to be going straight down the target line (steering)... see what the book says... ( underlined the bits relevant to you, IMHO)

"3-F-7-A. STEERING
is the Number One malfunction - The Bent Left Wrist and Clubhead Throwaway. Any or all of the following faults during Impact may need to be adjusted out - holding:
1. The Clubface square to the Target Line
2. The Clubhead on Target Line
3. The Clubhead on a level or upward path

A very successful and anti-steering therapy is an exaggerated "inside-out" Cut Shot, per 10-5-E. (Study 2-J-3, 2-N and 12-3-39.) You always Swing along the Plane Line but not always along the Flight Line. So Learn to dismiss the Flight Line. Depend on Clubface alignment for direction control (2-J). In fact, learn to execute all Plane Line Variations (10-5) to remove all uncertainty from your Computer (14-0).

3-F-7-B. QUITTING
slows or stops the Hands during Release and is almost always a semi-conscious maneuver to change the Down-and-Out Clubhead Path (2-J-2) to an On-Line Path through Impact, on the mistaken assumption that this is the purpose of the "Wrist Roll" (2-G) and/or "Wrist Bend" (6-D-3) and that such Clubhead control is, somehow, automatic Clubface control. That is a distorted interpretation of Sequenced Release (4-D). This results in:
1. a Bent Plane Line (Steering 4-D-0);
2. a shortening of the Swing Radius (loss of effective Mass);
AND, depending on Impact Hand Location, results in either:
3. a "Down Only" Clubhead Path (deep Divot or "Fat" Hit 1-L-14);
4. an "Up-and-In" Clubhead Path (Topped Shot 2-J-2).



Sorry mate, I know you had best intentions and I am extremely grateful, but I am not a TGM guy and I don't have the book. The numbers and letters, unfortunately, can't say me anything...
You see how steering and quitting are linked....

If the clubhead is going off plane then how are you squaring the clubface...

options are strong grip, flipping ( bending left wrist at impact) or pivot ( well not pivot for you i suspect because your are off plane)

My grip is not strong, I am not flipping hands - although you can suspect it from my video since I don't use a crossover release type.
need to check your grip first... is your grip forcing you to play an abnormal plane line?

Do you have face on video of your swing? check for flipping?

Matthew is saying that IMPACT is an in-to-out experience with the clubhead going down and out fractionally beyond impact AND THEN coming up and inwards.

The clubhead will actually do this if you have a Flat Left wrist and swing "on plane"... ie. the whole of the shaft lies an a flat , inclined plane throughout this time.

Get a piece of MDF board ( 1 metre by 50 cm) and use this as a mini plane poard...see what "on plane" feels like.... remember that TGM asks that you do the correct mechanics and learn your own individual feel from that... If you do this you will probably find that you feel your hands much closer to your bodyjust past impact... i think this is what people call swinging left... you are swinging right too much...

Yes, Brian Manzella has already given me an excellent advice with his Towel Plane Board. It seems to be a good drill with it.

Well , see how you go, remember that i advise only as a professional surgeon and not as a professional golfer!! Would you let Tiger woods operate on your eye....? So take advice from the pros but at least think about what i said...but it is not gospel!

Thanks for your help. I do appreciate it. My comments in red colour above.

Cheers
