Plane and Simple

When the clubshaft is said to be on plane, it will have the two characteristics:
1. The entire shaft will lie full length on the face of the plane
2. The shaft will always point at the plane line except when they are parallel to one another.

The following snap shot of Ben Hogan illustrates this.



The next picture illustrates the before and after of a student. Notice how off plane he was in the before and how on plane he is after a MERE 2 minutes.
Even he was stunned...

1st, you should mention that the student was using a SW. Otherwise the stance would have appeared too 'virgin' and club head not squaring to the target.

I was that student... Now I truely gets it: what you feel is not what you get.

Good job Justin!
