Getting Questions about how tracing the plane line with the right forearm works when the golf swing is arced. The Smart Stick at www.smartstickgolf.com shows how.
@scottlee73 The slow motion movement helps ingrain the proper movements in the swing. You wouldn't just try to swing in fast motion and expect to ingrain good habits...
Golf swing happens less than few seconds, so I am not sure how this slow mo will help. Or it is going to take lots of effort to do the same in a real swing. I am not saying the logic is wrong but I guess it is not efficient? There got to be a better way..
Martin...thank you. I have played golf for 30 years. I have always heard about the importance " keeping the club on plane" during the take-away. But I never heard an explanation that made any sense, Yours did. I have been following your golf videos the past week. I have had more "aahhaa" moments in a week than I have had in a lifetime of golf practice and instruction.
Buy a £2 lazer, blue tac to the butt end of a club and you save having to buy one. Good idea-better idea from me-haha. Ok mine checks on plane at half swing-but if you get there almost certainly you'll be on plane for the rest!
This tool is great, but it's pricey - so i just took a wiffleball bat - drilled two holes in it..took two laser pointers (for dogs and cats) and tuck them in...and bam - smart stick. once i can afford it, i'll get one...but until then, it works great!
Aid is worth about 50 bucks tops... will make my own from PVC and lasers for 15 to 20...
