First I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year.
The problem with mainstream golf instruction today is teaching shaft planes. This is the #1 fault in golf instruction. You do not hit the ball with the shaft. You hit the ball with the sweet spot. Balanced Sweet Spot movement through the swing is KEY for impact and swinging on shaft planes will destroy it.
When the sweet spot is out of balance it is like swinging an out of control club head. Anything can happen at impact. It is the reason for the slice, hook, top shots, fat shots, weight shift and many many more faults.
I tested one golfer who was way “Over The Top” with the club face wide open at impact. BIG SLICE! He told me he was trying to swing the shaft on a flatter shaft plane. This is what he was told to do in his last lesson. He did start his swing on a flat shaft plane with a club face wide open. Now he swings the sweet spot in balance and hits a slight draw.
