What is the swing plane?
The swing plane can be viewed as an imaginary line drawn from
the ball along the club shaft through the golfer's shoulders.
It is only by swinging the club along this plane or path that
the golfer can ever hope to achieve a consistent golf swing.
Why must the golfer swing on-plane?
Swinging on plane is the key to good golf because each time the
club shaft changes direction in relation to the target line,
the club face angle changes in relation to the ball. If the club
shaft strays off-plane, so will the club face - either opening
or closing to the target line. And as the club face goes, so
goes the ball!
What is the "arm triangle"?
In order to consistently swing on-plane, the golfer must learn
to maintain the "arm triangle" between the shoulders,
arms and hands - throughout the entire swing. If the relative
position between the shoulders, arms and hands is altered or
broken, the golfer can't swing on-plane.
Where does the arm triangle break
down?
During the golf swing, the arm triangle naturally "folds
and unfolds," both at the top of the back swing and in the
downswing. When this folding and unfolding motion occurs (a good
thing), many golfers allow their elbows to move closer together
or farther apart (a bad thing).
How does the Plane-EZ® differ
from other training aids?
The Plane-EZ's® unique, patented design maintains the critical
distance between the elbows, yet allows for a greater range of
motion than other training aids. The Plane-EZ®attaches below
the elbows to allow a full, unrestricted shoulder turn and is
fully adjustable for right or left-handed golfers, ages 12 and
up. You can practice with or without golf balls, on the range,
in the backyard or even in your living room!
How can the Plane-EZ® cure my
dreaded slice shot?
The slice shot is usually the product of an "outside-in"
swing path. The Plane-EZ® prevents a "flying right
elbow" on the back swing, thereby promoting an "inside
out" swing path. The Plane-EZ® also helps pull the
right elbow back to the side on the downswing. This has been
coined the "magic move" by some experts, because without
it an "inside-out" golf swing is next to impossible!
How can the Plane-EZ® cure my
hook shots?
By keeping the elbows together, the Plane-EZ® helps prevent
a collapsing left elbow and teaches the golfer to drive the hands
through to the target to avoid a "short arm" stroke
that often leads to hook shots.
