Plane Line Question

[Notorious B.E.N.]

Just Wondering

Is the Towel plane board the best way to practice plane line. I recently had a practice session where i hit between two wooden dowels placed very close to the ball, worked very nice. Is this better. Thanks

Towels don't break as easy!

The staight line illusion can get you above plane if you aren't aware of it.

Folks that try and trace the target line with the clubhead. It's off plane and powerless and generally why they suck.

Could it be...

that plane liones are best traced with the right fore finger?

The thing to watch out for with that is that you can trace a straight plane line with the right forefinger and still have an off-plane right shoulder.

Sorry if i'm way off here but you're saying the two dowels is not a good idea because it would kind of just make me swing the clubhead and make a hackers flail at the ball, so the towel is the best drill for plane?

A club goes back, up and in depending on your pattern and preference. If it only goes back (or up, or in), you are off plane and out of balance.

That will do. Thanks cmartin.

No one is saying it's a bad thing. Just not the best thing for plane work.

First you would have to know what he's using it for. If he's using it for alignment, fine. But that's different than using it for plane work. Because a plane board (towel or otherwise) is three dimensional, then it will provide more and better feedback than the double dowel system.

That said, if that double dowel system works for you, then use it, right?

Look how left he swings!!

Beautiful!!


Most folks would STEER THE $#!+ out of it with the dowel track.

And, I hate dowels anyway.

Camilo's got a good swing eh?

I've always thought his lower body ("action") looks contrived though. (very noticeably restricted)
