Moving golf plane

I completed a very good day of golf instruction today with a 24 handicapper.

Dave is a high profile business person who is very successful and respected within the building trade.

He purchased "How to kill the Ball" course from me. The book and 3 DVD's. After about 4 days we got together to discuss his golf swing and practice at the local driving range.

We started the golf lesson by looking at the grip and from here I asked Dave to hit the little shot. The little shot allows golfers to develop the feel of the golf club in their hands and to also understand what part the wrists play in the 21 century golf swing.

After hitting some very crisp little shots we moved to the half shot and then to the 3/4 shots.
Again his striking the ball was very crisp and straight.

The main reason that Dave had success in swing the golf club, was the fact that I got him to understand the moving plane that we teach our students. Yes there is not one plane or 2 planes just one "moving plane".

Understanding this moving plane allowed Dave to hit his straightest irons he has ever hit. His distance with the wedge through to the 7 iron were very consistent. (Something that he had not experienced before) He even had the cheek to pull out a 4 iron which he never hits and deliver a very straight and long ball. (Okay he duffed the first one, but nailed the second)

I am convinced that if golfers gain an understanding of the moving plane of the golf swing,they will learn one of the secrets to their golf swing.

The moving plane concept is a big topic and discussed at length in the 21st Century golf swing
