Thoughts on Swing Plane

If you have played golf for a while you have probably heard something about swing plane. There is a lot more to this concept than just having the club on plane.

The fact is you can have your hands and arms in a variety of places and still have the shaft on plane or the target li. To really understand swing plane you need to understand that there are four different planes to consider. The shaft plane in relation to the target line or straight line plane is the one most frequently referred to.   To fully grasp on plane however, you must consider the shoulder plane, the hands plane and the clubface plane. Over my years of coaching I have determined  that focusing on the hand plane in relation to the target plane and the impact zone produces the best results with my students. Having the hands on plane reduces timing compensations. The best way to approach the ball is in a straight line thru impact.
