Many of the golfers I teach do not really know what "Swing Plane" means or how to accomplish it. The easiest way to describe it can be found in a book I read when I started called "The 5 Modern Fundamentals" by Ben Hogan. Hogan demonstrated that when the golf swing moved along that pane of glass on the backswing and then slightly inside the plane on the downswing, your swing was 'on plane.' (or on the pane, haha) This was a great visual aid to me in my early career.
Swinging the mid irons "On Plane." is an instructional must if you want to understand your golf swing.
The Explanation.
Imagine a huge pane of glass with a hole in the middle. The plane of glass stands just on the outside of the ball and leans forward until your head fits through the hole and the glass plane rests on your shoulders. This depicts the "plane" of the swing. Now imagine swinging the clubs back until the back of your lead wrist touches the pane of glass at the top of the backswing. Then, as you start the downswing, the club drops slightly down on the "inside" of the pane of glass and delivers the clubhead to the ball in an exact way every time!
Travis Fulton, a PGA professional, describes this slightly differently but ends up with the same result!
PGA Professional Travis Fulton shows you how to correctly begin your backswing so that you stay on plane.
