How To golf Swing Down On A Shallow Inside Plane (Hint: Turn The Handle)

A lot of golfers suffer from an overly steep downswing. Which is sad, real sad, because that's one of the biggest causes of a slice and weak shots. 

However, the steep downswing is really the result of everything that has happened before, and from a transition NOT led with the lower body.

But even if you learned to start your swing with your lower body first, you could very well still be swinging down too steep - causing an out to in swing path which produces pulls, sliced shots and pull slices!

Why would that still be happening?

Because if you've been swinging down too steep for a long time and you've never done anything to change it, then it will be a habit.

Now if you're one of the lucky ones that doesn't suffer from an overly steep downswing, today's drill will still be great for you to do. 

This drill will reinforce the correct club movement when you're transitioning the club into the downswing.

What is the correct transitioning of the club into the downswing?

Very simply, when you're changing directions from your backswing to downswing, your club should move to the left.

This is one of the toughest moves in the transition for a golfer to perfect.

Why?

Because it's generally the complete opposite of what a golfer has done their entire golfing life.

But once you learn and perfect this move, it will make a HUGE difference to your golf swing and ball striking. 

Because this move is what really separates a great ball striker from an average one, as it's the complete opposite of what an average ball striker generally does.



To get a feeling for what should be happening with the golf club during the transition, I want you to get your driver and swing to the top of your backswing and then stop.

...then start your transition with your lower body and at the same time move your driver to the left.

Now when you do this it will probably feel very, very strange at first, because it's the complete opposite of what you've been doing. And the only way of getting over this is to keep doing this movement over and over again.

But if you're struggling to get the right feel, think of turning your hands like you would when opening a door that has a knob type of handle. At the top of your backswing you should be turning your hands so the club flattens.

If you would like much more instructions on how to do this, along with a video of a drill that will quickly teach you how to have the correct hand action at the top of your backswing and into the downswing, I suggest you go here and get the special on the long game improvement mastery program:

Because in Lesson 22 of that program you're shown in great detail what you can use to perfect this "flattening the shaft" move, so you can swing down on a shallow, inside swing plane.

And when you complete all 34 lessons in the long game, step-by-step program you will build an effortless, silky smooth and powerful golf swing.

And you can start to do this in less than 5 minutes from now!

 Here's some amazing feedback from golfers who have used this program and the bonuses in the past:

"After working through this program my ball flight now is straight with a little draw at the end. 

This is a B-I-G improvement from my previous slice ball flight. The instructions were very easy to follow and understand. My drives are now a good 20 - 25 yards longer thanks to this program. 

I have tried numerous other things but this is the only thing that has worked. I'm lucky to have found it. Thanks!"

Mark Benson, North Carolina, USA

"I went out last weekend and played my first round of golf since getting the program and following it and I really smoked the ball. I am so happy to say I shot an 84. I typically don't break 100!

My golf game has dramatically improved by hitting the ball much farther and with much more accuracy. The information you supplied me has changed my game completely.

I now believe that I have the swing and confidence to play in local tournament here. Thanks so much for the help."

Lack Distance? Take this free golf swing test

Hi 

If you don’t hit the ball as far as you’d like you need to take a free golf swing test.
Because it’s been discovered that about 90% of golfers suffer from one swing fault that costs them a lot of distance and accuracy.

But this simple 2 minute golf swing will quickly tell you whether you have this one serious swing fault or not.

If you find you don’t have this swing fault then no worries.  You can rule out this as a reason why you lack distance.  But if you do have this swing fault you’ll obviously want to know about it.  Because it will be costing you…

* Distance (could be up to 50 yards)
* Accuracy, and
* Consistency

So to find out whether or not you have this swing fault simply go here and take this simple 2 minute golf swing test:

It will take you less than 2 minutes to take this test and it may just be the most valuable 2 minutes you’ll ever spend….as far as your golf swing is concerned. So go 

If you suffer from an over the top problem or your divots point left of the target then youneed to go and take this golf swing test right now!

Finally! The Golf Swing Plane Explained In Simple Language

Hi 
Today I have something new and exciting for you. Over the next few weeks I'm going to be giving you some great information about the swing plane, from a man named Jeff Richmond.


As you're no doubt aware, the swing plane is so important in terms of distance, direction and consistency. 

And if you get the swing plane correct, you will have way more chance of hitting good shots consistently.

So in today's first installment on the swing plane, Jeff is going to get everyone on the same page by explaining exactly what the swing plane is.

 And once he's done that, he will then move into some more detailed aspects of the swing plane, and what you need to do to have a consistently good swing plane.

Alrighty then, let's make a start...

What Is The Swing Plane?
By Jeff Richmond, Director of Instruction, ConsistentGolf

When you start looking at the swing plane you can get confused - FAST!


It's an area where the more scientific/engineer types seem to have a field day. 

And if you're not that way inclined you can read and watch some stuff on the swing plane that will just give you a headache!


In today's article, I'm going to try to keep this nice and simple so we can all be on the same page for the rest of this swing plane series.


Now, the swing plane first became popular thanks to Ben Hogan and his image of a pane of glass.

When Ben Hogan was talking about the swing plane in terms of the pane of glass, he wanted the the left arm, hands, club etc. to stay below that pane of glass on the backswing and downswing.


But when Ben Hogan's famous five lessons book was published in 1957, they didn't have the technology like we do today to dissect the golf swing to the nth degree. And so the concepts of the swing plane have evolved a lot from the simple illustration that Ben Hogan gave us.


So what is the golf swing plane?
Well, the golf swing plane is an imaginary flat service that is used to determine what path certain parts of the body and club are traveling on throughout the golf swing.

This may sound stupid, but it has to be said.... the golf club cannot move itself. A lot of times when people look at the swing plane they only look at the shaft. 

 But the shaft is only moving as a result of the body movements. 

So you need to look very carefully at the plane your body is moving on when looking at swing plane.
There are three swing planes in the golf swing, and they are:

1. The backswing plane
2. The downswing plane, and
3. The follow-through plane

It's important to note that I said above "certain parts of the body and club", because when you swing your shoulders move on a plane. Your elbows move on a plane. Your hands move on a plane, your club moves on a plane etc, etc.


That's why if you see someone analyzing a golf swing, they'll draw a lot of lines to try to analyze what plane different parts of the body and club are moving on.

When you swing you're obviously swinging in a circular pattern. And because you're bent over when swinging your swing plane is tilted. How much it is tilted depends on the player's height, how they stand to the ball, the club being used etc. etc. There's a number of different variables.


So everyone will not have the same swing plane because of this. And so there's no one exact swing plane for everyone. 

When I say that, I'm talking about absolute degrees of swing plane. But there are good reference points every golfer can use, and I'm going to discuss these in this swing plane educational series.


When you hear about swing plane you often hear people saying that "so and so" has a flat swing plane, or this golfer has a steep swing plane.


When people say that, what are they referring too?
Most of the time they are referring to the shaft angle. And a good checkpoint is halfway into the backswing. A famous golf pro who is said to have a flat swing plane is Zach Johnson. 

Here is a picture of Zach at the half-way point in his golf swing.

Zach uses a one plane swing to hit the golf ball. So anyone that is a fan of the one plane golf swing will not say that Zach's swing is flat. They'll say it's on plane. That's where golf instructors get into arguments. 

In the next email I'm going to talk more about the one plane swing, two plane swing etc. But for now, notice that at the half way point in his backswing the club shaft is pointing out side the ball.


Now compare that to probably the most extreme case of a two plane swing, and that is Jim Furyk. Look where the shaft is pointing at the half way point in his backswing.

If you compare those two swing planes, is there any wonder amateur golfers are confused about the swing plane?! I imagine you're the same as me, in that you would swap your playing record with either of those two players given the choice! :-)
So the swing plane is a combination of the movement (arc) of the shoulders, arms, hands and club predominantly. 

And this is measured and analyzed with straight lines... so it's 2d. I have seen 3d swing plane software and analysis, but for this swing plane series I'm not even going there!

I hope that's a simple explanation and everyone is on the same page. 

If not, don't worry because over this swing plane series, you should hopefully get a much better understanding of it and what you should be trying to do with your swing plane.


I will be giving you examples of each type of player, so hopefully you should find that interesting and informative.

The Main Differecen Between Pro's And Amateur Golf Swings

Hi 

It's  here and I have discovered one simple difference 
between Pro's and Amateur golf swings that means Pro's hit it much 
longer and straighter than amateurs do.   

So if you're struggling with ball striking consistency you'll want to listen up....

Professional golfers swing back and down on a very similar swing plane
whereas most amateurs swing back and down on a vastly different swing
plane.

So if you want to hit longer, straighter and more consistent golf shots you
must groove a professional swing plane.

Thankfully, it's not that hard....if you know how to do it.  And in this new
program you can groove a professional swing plane in 3 easy steps.  To
find out more about this simply go here:

When you implement the 3 easy steps in this new program,
you will be hitting the ball a lot longer, straighter and more 
consistently than ever... or you get your money back.
