Another video from the same spot. Kuchar was arguably the best ball striker on tour last - impact is about as square/square as it gets. The back swing is unusual but the downswing is great.

Thanks, MB.

First, take a look at Matt's Underplane Backstroke at 0.05 (pause it, then do a few 'doubleclicks' until the shaft is parallel to the ground). Note how inside the club is and how you can see the full length of the clubshaft as well as the clubhead.

Then, play on to his his picture-perfect On Plane Downstroke at 0.12. With the shaft once again parallel to the ground, you see nothing but the sole of the clubhead, i.e., no shaft. Ideally, that's what you should see in the Backstroke, no matter how Flat the Plane. But . . .

As Matt demonstrates, as long as you have the talent to realign at the Top and bring the club down On Plane into Impact, you're golden!
