Swing Plane Golf Lesson | Exeter Golf Lessons

[amarchawla66]

Hi Mark, I think I am having a serious problem with my swing. I cant judge where I am going wrong. I am hitting solid shots but I am not very consistent. Please can you take a look at the 3 swings and let me know what areas I need to work on. Thanks BR

Great Video, I have the exact backswing that you show on the right, however on the downswing, I get the club stuck behind me and too severe of a path from in to out, causing a lot of hooks. I've been trying to swing more around my body and get the clubhead going more left after impact. Also swinging a lot with a towel under my left arm, and trying to keep my wrist angle set further down to prevent any premature casting. Am I on the right track here? Any other drills I could be doing? Thanks

i put like tiger.or my version.its true in a way what he says about taking pictures "tiger"

@theciskokid, everyone needs to play their game and not use a swing that's uncomfortable for them. If it goes where you want it and you can repeate it, then you're good to go. I think the video is just trying to show you that having an out to in swing path will result in a slice 98 percent of the time. So no matter how much tech you've got, you still got to hit the thing where you want it. And slicing the ball everytime simply ain't gonna get it done

@theciskokidd There's alot of true in what you are saying. However, when we miss shots, and we do miss shots, this video is a demonstration of what may have caused that bad shot. I totally agree with you in regards to developing our own swing but I completely understand what this video is coveying. I've seen my swing in a video and it looks just like the one on the right. And I'm a 13 handicap. Give or take a few, lol.

[EagleEyeGolfer]

I have to say this is a really great demonstration of explaining the difference in the swing plane. The swing on the right is my swing exactly, lol. When I hit it, it's a solid cut shot left to right, but if I'm off, I either slice it or hit a dead pull. Not hook but pull. So I will definately try and make adjustments to my swing to match the one on the left of the screen. Cheers mate!

Very helpful...thanks!!!

Having the club point between the foot line and the ball line is exactly what Sean Foley has on his video also. Having the club point at the ball is the traditional picture. My kids go to a clinic on the weekends and "point the butt end of the club at the ball" is always mentioned.

My takeaway is a copy of the video on the right. I just watched a shot of my swing and about threw up. Somehow I drop the club back in so I can hit massive hooks...great!! - Now I know the first thing to fix, THANKS

If you look at most of the top players today (2011) halfway back in their backswing the angle of the shaft will be pointing at the ball and not the ground between the feet and the ball as you are advocating here. In fact some players, including Tiger Woods and Adam Scott, the angle of their club shaft will be pointing at the ground 'outside' the line. In other words, the backswing you are advocating is too steep compated to the top players of today.

@idkwia not so fast! tiger's shaft points outside because he gets flat and laid off. next time you see him on tv watch his rehearsal swings--he's doing exactly what this gentleman is saying in this video in an attempt to find better plane at the top! there are no inaccuracies in this vid! there are many ways to swing a golf club.

That was by far the clearest explanation of a correct swing plane that I have ever seen or heard! Thanks. I am a 9 handicap player and have been seriously trying to improve my game over the past year. Watching your videos today I have found 2 very helpful ways I can continue to improve. Both the swing plane and the release through impact are going to help tremendously.

[bigglesthwaite]

Very good explanation - thanks Mark

[radbcc]

Both swings suck.

[ved68]

Tks for a great tip.... Swing plane and the backswing take away is all that I needed.. Tks again..

[MikePedersenGolfTips]

I'm working very hard on swing plane. Gets way too vertical making my downswing going into impact very difficult. Also, roll open my wrists on takeaway much like your video on the right. Enjoyed your video.

[carlogolfitaly]

First i wont to congratulate for your excellent golf tip, I believe that more than lesson with the golf course istructor, is helpfull to see good golf tips on youtube, in this regard i would like know what you think about the two plane VS one plane swing ,there are many videos on youtube

some pga professional teach the one plane (Ben Hogan style) other the two plane.... I'm a bit confused.....take a look Sam Letourneau golfzone....

[onkai]

Nice vids!!! Mark, can you make one with the driver on? i hit my irons no problem, but i always have problem when hitting the driver, always fade too much, sometimes have a big cut on it.thanks alot if you could, appreciate that, take care!

[DeathbladeTM]

the one on the lefft is too steep. the butt end of the club should be pointing at the golf ball not the ground.

[steckleinjr]

@DeathbladeTM not so fast, my friend!

[MrSteckleinjr]

@DeathbladeTM says who?
