We as golfers have heard the term swing plane many times during our golfing careers. But do we really know the definition of it and the bearing upon our golf swing?

Recently, I had a conversation with Dean Reinmuth (top 30 teaching pro ranked by Golf Digest) and I think he described swing plane the best. Dean suggests thinking of the swing plane as an imaginary circle. The imaginary circle that represents the swing plane is set at an angle. It is the path on which it is necessary for the club to travel in order to execute the swing correctly.

The right type of golfing shoe is essential to the game of golf. If you are a golfer and take your game seriously then you probably wear the right type of shoes. Wearing these types of shoes isn’t required but will help you when you golf. Some golf courses however are strict on the type of shoe you wear on their courses. Most men usually beginners don’t wear golf shoes. Most of those men do not know the importance of a good pair of golfing shoes either. Most of the men out there would probably play in their running or walking shoes rather then spend more money on a pair of shoes just for golfing.

This simple drill not only improves your contact off the tee it also helps you eliminate your tendency to slice

This story is for you if…

• Your driver impact feels either very dead or like you’ve just made contact with a bowling ball
• You find contact marks out on the toe and heel sections of your driver’s clubface
• You slice

THE PROBLEM
You can’t make contact on the center of the clubface with your driver, and that’s costing you distance and accuracy.

HOW YOU KNOW IT’S HAPPENING
When you hit it off the heel, it’ll feel like you just hit a brick and the ball will shoot dead left. If you hit it off the toe, you’ll feel a soft impact, like you whacked an old apple.

WHY YOU SLICE YOUR DRIVES AND PULL SHORT IRONS
You have an over-the-top swing. When you look at the ball, your club is moving from the upper right corner of your vision to your lower left. The only reason your short-iron shots go left and your drives go right is that you’re able to square the clubface with the shorter club.

HOW TO FIX IT
Set up to a ball and imagine a friend behind you grabbing your right pocket. When you’re ready to swing, feel your “friend” yank your right hip away from the ball and behind you. Although it’s not really happening, this kind of hip action puts you in a position that makes it difficult to swing over the top. As you start down, feel a tug again, but this time on your left hip. This will help you approach the ball from the inside — from the lower right corner of your vision — and hit a draw.
