In my post about head movement and tempo, I mentioned that I was on a golf simulator/analyser when I had my lesson with Brian. I already knew this, and I'm sure most of you do as well, but it is a point that I don't think about much, but shoul: In the golf swing, most people use path and plane interchangeably...I know I am guilty of it. Plane and path are not the same thing. If you swing on a SQUARE PLANE, your PATH will be 2-3* inside out. The clubhead is traveling on a square plane line, but the path is down, out, and forward. The farther back in your stance, the more inside out your path will be at impact and the more forward the ball is, the less inside out your path will be at impact. However, until you reach low point, your path will always be inside out even though you are swinging on a square plane and tracing a square plane line. This is an important distinction that needs to be recognized by all. An inside to out swing is not the same as an inside to out impact. The former is a bent plane, while the latter is a geometrically correct impact interval.
Square plane + 2-3* inside to out impact + 1-3* open clubface = KNOCKING DOWN THE STICK ALL DAY LONG.
Educate the right forearm to trace a straight line, educate the pressure points to drive down, out, and forward, and educate the left hand to control the clubface and you will be on target. You will have lag, a straight plane line, and a flat left wrist. Clubshaft control + clubhead control + clubface control = ball control.
