@bobscottjnr The difference in the real world between a flatter plane and an upright plane really isn't that large when comparing the same clubs being used. So, I don't think a case can made in favor of any particular plane angle over another.

Once again, with driver attack angles there won't be that large of a difference between the swing plane angle assuming a similar Angle of Attack.  Positive attack angles with flat or upright swings will produce the most carry distance.(depending on spin)

John . . . Great video! A few questions for you. In the earlier videos you demonstrate the principles with a "lofted" club. As the d-plane "angle" due to loft becomes more acute the ball would start "closer" to the path (with still more weight to the face) vs. a more lofted club right?

Also . . . could the golfer rather than adjust the "path" or horizontal plane due to the nature of hitting down or up alternately adjust the face open/closed?

Very good stuff . . .

@12piecebucket Yes that's right about the closer the path vector gets to the face vector. I'm not sure I understand you second question but a golfer could change the face to change the relationship for sure.

Hopefully, that answers your questions and thanks for the kind words.

John, is this a good case for a more upright vertical plane? It seems that in the case of say...Hogan, that a flat swing plane needs more "compensation" or adjustment . Then again does a flatter swing plane with the driver provide an advantage when the attack angle is positive? Thanks for your "patient" explanations.
