Take a deep breath. Relax. Breath in….Breath out.

Maybe it’s time to think about not thinking so much about the Plane and think more about the Plane Line.

INCLINED PLANE: Golf – The through-the-waist “Plane of Rotation” of the Clubshaft as established during the Address Routine.

The Concept of “Plane” as a Flat Surface that frames the Golfer has led most Golfers to waste countless hours futilely trying to lay and keep the Clubshaft against its surface on the Backstroke and Downstroke.

Maybe Mythbusting is in-order.

Agreed. Of the plane and plane line, I believe compliance with the plane line to be more important. However, they are both very important in that the club must be making contact with the ball while on its correct shaft plane to prevent a toe up or toe down strike.

There are many options for plane shifts beyond the shaft plane interval. The greats of golf have demonstrated a wide variety. A plane board could be custom fitted with hydraulics levers and a computer to correctly change the plane boards angle for any golfers selected shift pattern. The ideal results would still see the golf club (both head and grip end) tracing the plane line from horizon to horizon. Or so I believe right now anyways.
