Use A Golf Plane Training Tool
To Improve Distance

One of the most important factors in distance is golf swing plane. Using a golf plane training tool will quickly give you the proper feel of an on-plane golf swing. For the majority of high handicap golfers, it is nearly impossible to understand and achieve a swing that is on-plane. I know for me personally, I’ve struggled with this for 20 years, and I’m a single-digit golfer.

You see…if you do not get your club on plane, you will have to make additional compensations to hit the golf ball. Most likely with your hands in the form of a flip, or handsy release. This adds a timing component to your golf swing, in which sometimes you might hit it good, and others you’ll hit it terrible.

Your swing plane is dictated mostly by your address position (see below pic of Hunter Mahan). At address, you would draw a line from the clubhead, through the shaft, continuing up through y0ur body. This is the plane you should be coming into when you impact the golf ball. There is some variance as to being a little above that initial plane, or slightly below it, but you must keep it in a tight range either way.

If you look at the 2 pictures of Hunter Mahan, who is considered one of the best ball strikers on tour, in the halfway down position, he is slightly over the plane, which is completely acceptable. And, if he where slightly under that plane, that would also be acceptable.

The problem occurs when you are dramatically over or under the plane.

What’s The Solution?

If you’ve read any other articles on this site, you’ll know I’m a big believer in the use of training aids. Especially the ones that allow you to hit balls while using them. This is the fastest way to improve your golf swing plane.

I have seen success in my own swing using the golf swing plane trainer. If you’re frustrated with your results, I’d recommend taking a look at this training tool by clicking on the Learn More button below.
