Who, what, where, and how: The D Plane.

[Rick Dandy]

Mr. Stallion,
Who coined the D Plane? What is the D Plane? When does the D Plane begin and end? Where is the D Plane? How does the D Plane happen? What practice regimes bring about the D Plane?

Here's a link to who invented the D plane http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hervé_Villechaize

 

[Rick Dandy]

I read it was TRACKMAN. Man do I need some time off! Send in the clowns.

Tatto started the D plane phrase in 1978. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1x_QbVDlLbI

Am I stuck on Fantasy Island? Give me the real deal on the D Plane Boss here in the BM Forum.

 

[Matt 4-L]

Actually I am just as stumped on this one as you, I am eagerly awaiting BM's response.

I was worried I was becoming the photographer in "Apocalypse Now"!

Not Brian, but you can find it explained in Theodore Jorgensen's The Physics of Golf

Thanks armour.

Does anyone mind posting the quote from the book? When I try to pull it up it only gives me a limited preview and page 84 in unavailable.
Thanks!

I would be really grateful if someone out there (even if it's not Brian) can shed some light on this. The book is a start, but page 84 explains the D plane as two intersecting lines, and one of those lines is 'the normal to the clubface' (84). I don't know what that means.

Continue reading through page 89. There are diagrams and detailed explanations.

Oops! Thanks, tank. It would be hard to tell that my job is to teach people how to read!

I'll have a closer look...

I'd wait for Brian's response. Don't ask me to explain but somebody showed me the ins and outs of why Jorgensen's model of the D plane was slightly off.

Some time in the last month Brian did indicate what formed the plane. Could be searched for. I didn't get a firm picture in my mind of what it was, but I assume Brian had it down.

The D-Plane is to be discovered, not unveiled.
