The Practice Range: Get on plane right away

There are many effective ways to hit a golf ball with power and accuracy but there’s no better start to achieving that goal than having a golf swing that’s on plane.

For many golfers, swing-plane issues start immediately in the takeaway, which forces the player to make compensations throughout the rest of their swing to return the club to a solid position at impact, which in the game of golf is the moment of truth.

In this video segment, Swingpal.com instructor Chuck Mayhew has a great drill that you can practice on the driving range to get a feel for the path your club should travel along as you start your golf swing.

Work on this drill and you’ll not only improve your takeaway but you’ll also stay on plane better throughout your golf swing, and that combination will result in better ball-striking and lower scores.
