Chris Ryan, a great PGA teacher out of the Belfry in England, is going to be contributing occasional content to Be Better Golf.
For our first collaboration Chris is going to offer some great insight to how I can finally eliminate my under the plane stuck inside backswing.
This is a VERY common issue for golfers, possibly the most common issue in the game and in my experience it is one of the most difficult problems to eradicate.
Basically, from a DOWN THE LINE view, a proper backswing should have the clubhead moving through your hands on the way back.

Basically, from a DOWN THE LINE view, a proper backswing should have the clubhead moving through your hands on the way back.
 From This view you should be seeing the clubhead going through my hands. Also the leading edge SHOULD match my spine. So from this angle we can tell I am already STUCK and have the face WIDE open. A lot will have to be do to get everything back to square. |  This issue is worse with my irons. |
Check out the Tiger in the 2nd frame in both his 2000 swing (top) and a more recent swing (bottom). in both cases the club obscures the hands from this angle and the leading edge matches the spine. I want that position!
I would say about 90% of amateurs have the clubhead significantly below their hands at this position, just like me.
The first qustion Chris will address is "Why does the Backswing matter" after all you don't hit it with your backswing. Chris explains the crucial chain reaction a proper back swing sets up.
