Do those of you who do a good job of dragloading the club on plane at start-down use a particular image or swing thought to make that happen? I'm still struggling with getting the butt of the club to point at the plane line from "end" into "release" (although with better extensor action it seems to be getting a little better). My tendency has always been to have it pointing above the plane line (i.e. too "flat") and I've done that for so long that even though I "feel" like I'm on plane during these sections of the swing, I'm not.
Is it simply a "look, look, look" at slow speeds until I can create the mechanics that create the proper feel?
What is the right shoulder doing? Is it tracing the TSP on the downswing or is it inside of that (down the line view)? If it is inside of that then you might need to make sure you don't create too much secondary axis tilt at the top of the backswing or during the downswing.

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)
