THE Swing Plane::::

The Swing Plane:

In Golf we consider the ground as a horizontal plane and your body when you stand upright can be considered a vertical plane. As you swing, your golf club will describe an incline plane somewhere between horizontal and vertical.

The longer the club, the flatter the plane (more horizontal) and shorter clubs will describe a steeper plane (more vertical). Each club has it own swing plane which is determined by the angle formed between the club head and the shaft, were the club is soled properly on the ground (the lie). The shaft should follow this plane due to centrifugal force as you rotate your hips and torso about your axis of rotation.

I think the changes have given me freedom to move my hips faster on the downswing, increasing my distance as much as 10%, and I recommend them. At address most golfers will turn the left foot about 30° to the left. When i tried this particular stance i always felt that my hip turn was being checked too soon and that as a consequence I was losing power. My left foot is now turned out 45°. In addition, I have moved my right foot forward just a little so that my stance is a slightly open one, rather than closed as is more conventional. Thus I set up like a boxer who is about to throw a long right hand punch and who must get his body completely out of the way if he expects to hit his opponent hard. On the downswing  i am able, like the boxer, to ach...
