Plane Hands and Hard Work

Originally posted by EdZ

And from another perspective, the plane that is quite helpful to visualize - the HANDS - the path the hands (the pressure points) travel during the motion.

THIS is why Furyk is at the top of the accuracy stats.

Watch the path of his HANDS

"my hands are never out of bounds" - Moe Norman

Only the HANDS can travel on 'one plane' back and through.

The problem is one of perspective, of how folks usually look at plane - as being tied to the shaft.

At address, imagine a line running straight down the undersides of the arms, to the ground.

Your hands, the 'tip of the triangle', can stay on "that" plane back and through.

Perspective is very often the root issue when people disagree about plane, or plane shifts. There is only one 'sum' plane of force, of motion, in an efficient swing, and that plane is most easily seen by looking to the hands.

Yet another reason the "mind is in the hands" - Ben Doyle

When I use that more severe shoulder tilt with level wrists, I can see the Sweet spot of the Plane. When I RFT to Pivot and then pull my left elbow to Pivot I feel like there is no shift in my hands and I feel powerful and on Plane and I don't worry about my hip or leg shortage. It seems like a simple and effective Swing, now. I think LBG is helping me understand what the heck is good and "True North" or "Sweet" as in "Sweetspot!"

With April and Cuscowilla fast approaching, the reader might wonder why I'm sweating all these details. Let me answer like this. When you go to a job interview, you need a new job at some level. But you put your most confident persona forward so the company wants to hire you. I want to be a golfer worthy of the good insights of a very good golf teacher, Lynn Blake.
