Golf swing plane tip

On this page, I will share an excellent golf swing plane tip I came across a while ago. Learning to swing the club ?on plane? is key for building a better golf swing. So, what exactly is a swing plane? The plane of the golf swing basically describes the angle at which the club swings around the body.

Different golfers have different swing planes, depending on how tall they are, the way they address the ball and so on. The important thing, is to swing back and forth on the same plane, as this will build a much more consistent swing.

1. Place a tee into the top of the grip of your club.

2. Now place two clubs on the ground at right angles to each other. Place one club in line with the target and the other club square to the target so the end of its grip touches the middle of the target-line club (see picture above).

3. Grip your club and take your normal stance as pictured above. The meeting point between the two clubs on the ground forms the impact point (you can also simply tee up a golf ball as impact point in place of having two clubs on the ground).

4. Swing your hands back, turning your left forearm until the tee in the grip points directly at the impact point formed by the two clubs on the ground ? this is a great plane position on the backswing.

5. Now swing through so that the tee in the grip points directly at the impact point from the follow-through position ? again, this is a great plane position on the follow-through.

6. Practice this drill by swinging your arms back and forth ? this will really help you develop a great feel for swinging the club on plane.
