Resist The Temptation Of The Perfect Golf Swing (Video) - by Pete Styles

Then you’ve got to be careful that once you’ve decided on the swing plane that you’re going to use, and you’re comfortable and you’re happy with that swing plane. If it’s efficient and it works and it hits decent golf shots, you don’t really need to worry about it too much more than that on the golf course. There’s no point standing on the golf course knowing that you’ve just hit the ball beautifully on the range with a two plane swing, and then trying to hit the perfect one plane golf swing. It’s an area that you don’t really need to focus too much on once you got you’ve got your one or two golf swing set. Like say I can’t suggest whether a one or two plane golf swing is necessarily better for you because every time I think, oh that’s definitely the best way to swing it, somebody wins on Tour the next week with the opposite swing. So clearly both one and two plane golf swings and variations within those paths can be very good golf swings that work and win money on Tour at the highest level under pressure.

So we can’t categorically say swing it this way or swing it this way, within those two swing planes. What I would suggest is get yourself videoed, get a pro to have a good look at you as well, once you’re happy that you’ve decided that your takeaway and your downswing match the swing plane that you’re trying to work on. And you’re accurately hitting the golf ball with that, take that on the golf course and just go and implement it, go and play it. Don’t get on the golf course and start checking your backswing too much, and checking these sorts of positions and trying to match Furyk or trying to match Matt Kuchar. If your swing plane works for you in practice there’s no reason to suggest it wouldn’t work for you on the golf course. Go out and play good, confident consistent golf, committing to your shot rather than searching for that perfect swing plane every time.
