Amazing changes
 

Amazing Changes after working with GSEM Greg Smith and training on the C-Plane.

what is "c-plane"? never heard of it....

I like the leg action much better...what are y'all working on?



You using horizontal hinging? See Hogan's clubface at a similar spot....your "pivot" look is similar...I do remember from your swing caddy view the head wanted to move back some...Hogan goes forward big time...will slow the face down....

www.thecplane.com It's a padded swing plane structure I designed and created as homer says in 4-d-0 "construct an inclined plane" so I did...

Check out the "swing plane devices" thread in the training aids forum. I created it to help me with this whole Process...

hard to compare hogan there not really in the same spot, not sure what kinda shot he's playing

Hogan swings on a flatter plane, however the body positions are very similar. I especially like the 2nd photo where the hips look a bit more open, a little more waist bend, and the inside of the thighs almost touching - a la Al Geiberger. =D>

Not sure about comparisons with hogan or if that pictured can be compared to mine, my three pictures were to show how the feet and knees improved greatly over time

We are Working on
7-3 (10-3-B) (12-5-1 no. 17 and 12-5-3 no.13)
10-7-C
10-15-B
10-22-B
7-14(2-N-1-B)
10-13-A(6-M-1(6-H-0-F no. 2))
10-23-D
10-3-B
6-B-3-0 (10-15-B, 10-13-A)


All these numbers may look extremely complicated but it really simplifies the process by breaking down and understanding only the components that are relevant to me as assembled by Greg Smith

By working on these components in sequence and understanding their relationship to one another I now have a better sense for the total motion.

1-E To properly adjust, compensate, interchange, and correct every component, and to detect imprecisions, is the instructor's function. The students need to know only the factors and components, etc., of their particular stroke patterns as recommended and assembled by the instructor. Or themselves. The student who can play and practice only occasionally should not be induced to proceed on the lines of detail and precision that a prospective champion would need

Cool...will check out....

Hard to say on Hogan....but you see that face position quite a bit...more closing and laying back than closing only...of course you can hit "all the shots" with any hinge motion.....I'm an angled hinging cat...so may just be a personal preference as to "look"/function....but your pics look nice.

I prefer dual horizontal for the long game

Somewhere YODA relayed the idea from Homer Kelley that Horizontal Hinging offered the greater compression of the available hinge actions.

Kevin

that however does not make it superior!

The long and short games
 

I mostly prefer adjusted address and dual horizontal for the long game. impact address and angled hinge for the short game.
