Season Three Show #3 Spine & Swing Angle

[hayes9801]

Thank you for the video on this topic. I'm trying to get the information correctly into my semi-impermeable coconut!

1. The "carry" in the downswing causes the shaft to come in steeply.

2. To accomodate the steep shaft, I have to come up out of my posture on the downswing.

3. Assuming I don't have a plane device like the one in the video, the best way to shallow out the downswing would be to practice swinging under a shaft stuck in the ground on my plane line.

Are those ideas correct?

In the winter I practice frequently indoors off mats....can't stick a shaft in the ground. Any other ideas on shallowing out the swing?

Thanks for your help.

Fantastic Video! I'm interested in getting the plane device you have. Would you mind telling me where I can get it and how to use it, please? Thank you very much! I'm really looking forward to meeting you and getting some help with my swing. Now all we need is for the weather to show the same enthusiasm.

I drilled some holes in a 2/4 at various angles and then was able to stick golf shafts in these holes. This works well when you are hitting off of mats and can't stick the shafts into the turf. Drill enough holes so you have flat and steep covered based on you or students needs.

Btw Michael great video and I am also intrigued with the apparatus as it appears it has a lot of functionality.

Did you buy It or make it?

Me too. I have been looking for something like that forever. Would love more info on where you got it. Great video too. Thanks.

I have a Pathpro which can be used for this although it is just one arm. I got it on special last year for about $39. I see on their website now for $99. It is a base with plastic arms and a foam sleeve like Mike has on his.

Path Pro Golf

It says NEW Pathpro so maybe I got the older version they were getting rid of for the new version, who knows.

The Plane Trainer Deluxe

The one that I have I got from Dane Wiren {Gary Wiren's son} so I am assuming they have it at Golf Around the World Training Aids...


I found one here on this webiste too:

Plane Trainer Deluxe, Golf Training Aids & Swing Trainers at TheGolfTrainingAidStore.com

Hayes,

Those thoughts are correct... I would invest in something similar to the one that I am using in the video... it will help you take the guess work out of your practice!

Did anyone order that swing trainer?
