The most important thing in golf swing is your golf swing plane. Your swing plane will quickly dictate how well (and how consistent) you hit the golf ball. If you come into impact with a much different angle of attack than you had at address, the resulting ball flight will not be what you want.

You don’t have to come down on the exact same plane like a Nick Price or other top professionals do, but you want to be as close as possible to the same plane coming down.

I like to do drills in the mirror with tape. I take my 5 iron, get into the mirror sideways, and have my wife make a plane angle with the tape to match my 5 iron when I’m in the address position.

I think make back swings and downswing into impact trying to get close to the plane I had at address. If I do this enough, I get a very good feeling in my body of where I should be at impact.

Learning the proper golf swing that suits your body and physical capabilities is all about understanding your golf swing mechanics, and training your body (and golf muscles) to perform a repeatable swing that holds up for 18 holes.

Most golfers don’t understand that taking the right approach will save them years of painful golf, and hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars in training aids, equipment and even lessons.

The golf swing is not that difficult to perform, we just find every possible way to make it harder. It doesn’t have to be that way. Take a look at your current physical status and your golf swing deficiencies and come up a specific approach that will get you to where you want to be MUCH QUICKER!
