Well, I might have analyzed hundreds of golf swings in my life but perhaps Tom Watson’s explanation on secret to a consistent golf swing will help you more with his simple wisdom, “keep your spine angle consisten and turn around it.”

And this has everything to do with keeping your clubhead and body parts on-plane.  The golf swing plane only exists as a result of this spine angle.

I think this advice will help you more because it’s so simple and it’s coming from Tom Watson.

Watch the video and learn! :)

Follow Through

Follow Through

As you can see, the follow-through shown here is not too on-plane, but not too bad. (for playing golf for the first time in couple months…)

Anyways, the ideal follow-through is the one that will meet that yellow line. (or the plane)

This swing is actually going slightly outside-in, which was how I was hitting the ball today.

Anyways, hopefully I should be able to get my golf game together over the next couple days and get you a perfect plane shot…

In the meanwhile, you can try to “hit the right field” if you are experiencing lots of slices. For hookers? I don’t know, just stop being a hooker! :p

Bad-Plane

Here’s an example of going outside my plane. As discussed in the previous post about Tiger’s plane, it seems here that I am on my way to hitting the ball with a 50 yard slice here. This is what NOT to do…

Tiger’s Takeaway – The Secret Swing Plane

Tiger’s Takeaway

After analyzing Tiger’s swing for more than 10 years since he’s appearance on U.S. Amateur, I have found what Tiger does different than anyone else.

Somewhat similar to Ben Hogan’s Swing Plane theory (which we will also get into later), Tiger’s swing stays on this plane:

The plane is between the middle of the ball and middle of his shoulder sockets. As you can see in the picture, Tiger will not leave that plane with his clubhead during his whole swing.

This is something I’ve realized over the years after carefully analyzing his swing and haven’t seen it mentioned in TV or even Golf Digest. (Maybe this IS the secret)

Yes, this is slightly different from David Leadbetter’s 2 swing planes but it’s one thing I’ve noticed that a lot of top pros are doing this.
