Now if you watch any golf or watch any on line videos or play with your mates you will often hear the term of “Swing Plane” being banned about by the commentators or golfers on the course. They are talking about the plane of the club. Now for a lot of golfers they don't necessarily understand this terminology or how it relates to their game or how it can help them improve. Let's have a look at swing plane and particularly today we're going to be looking at flight swing plane. So an address position hits the goal pull the club move back away from the ball the angle of this club. Here or here could determine swing plane how we can swing swing plane and downswing swing plane and they're not always necessarily the same. So from a good address position I would make a case for the fact that the plane this club is steep so it's more vertical it's a steeper swing plane and this would be a swing plane.
Now for a different goal for the different levels you'll often see golfers with steep swing plane flat swing planes be very successful even on the P.G.A. till you've got golfers like Jim Furyk swing the club steep not way too much of the flattens out into a good position. Much like the poster boy of a flight goal swing just swing the club very much around these body this way into the goal but if that works for him he's making a great living on the P.G.A. tour with a flat swing plane. So in these next few videos we're going to discuss whether a flat swing plane is going to be suitable for your game the benefits the pitfalls the body types it works well with. So go ahead and look at this next section and see whether a flat swing plane would be right for your game.
