Hello.....I have only recently been utilizing visualization of my hands throughout the swing in an effort to improve......Ben Doyle's concept of "eyes on the ball, mind on the hands and let the pivot do the work...." this is a very nice slo-mo representation of swinging on plane.....Quick question.......you do agree (I hope) that if you go beyond the 3/4 swing that you are displaying here.....that your hands and hence club would come off the plane board? If not, could you explain. Thanks

@vjwmd All swings shift to a higher plane, even Moe Norman (who had the smallest plane shift, 1 degree) shifted above the shaft plane!

While, this was the only video captured at the time using the full incline plane. I have made total motion strokes where the clubshaft lays flat on the incline plane angle while the hands stay on plane. Remember, a golfer is either on or off plane. This stroke was set-up on a turned shoulder plane angle w/ zero shift. One could come off the established angle if they go beyond the top of the stroke to the end. Most use a plane shift but that should be established before the stroke is even made.
