A 4 sec video? that is just crap.
the plane line that matters is the one drawn through his right elbow at address. look at where the shaft is at impact. it’s not on the address shaft plane. then look at where his hands are when the club reaches the ‘paralell to the ground’ position in the downswing. hands on the elbow plane, clubhead on the shaft plane. plane lines are very useful. no they don’t convey a feel, but they can show you what’s ‘real’ about your ‘feel’.
AGREE so much it really f***ed up my game…..but have since changed to just feel and am beginning to get game back.
This truely is the worst way to teach golf. swing analysis on a computer, it has nothing to do with what you should “feel” is happening in the golf swing. If you try to get into positions you will be doomed to failure forever. learn about pressures and loading in your hands.
the plane is the top line if you read hogans book.The clubhead never leaves that plane on the backswing.The hands,and therefore the shaft,get on this plane at about waist to chest high,depending on the particular golfer.
How can one take a line’s relation to Ernie’s swing and immediately translate it to a peronsal feel thought or an adjustment?
Approximates a second plane line. Haney, Leadbetter, et al. have properly identified the fact that there are actually two “planes” (if you think of the plane as a line, which is a bit of a fiction, but a useful one), one set by the shaft at address and another usually about parallel to it and a bit higher, just because of the way the hands have to hinge (club changes its relationship to hands and arms dramatically, relative to its direction, but consistent with the right amount of rotation).
mb6918 those are proper swing plane lines probably just to complex for you
