"On Plane"

Being "on plane" is a basic concept that I thought I understood but now I am confused.

What plane can apply to the whole swing from start to finish?

Would that be a Moe Norman style address and swing?
Any disadvantages?

power, you have lost at least one accumulator

The path of PP#1 around the 'center' of the circle. Focus on the hands.

around the center of the circle meaning what precisely? right shoulder?

Left shoulder for right hand golfer....I would say

oh, i meant pp1 too right shoulder as a plane guide, but i get your point, yes around the left shoulder as center.

Here is a young Yoda with an illustration. You'll note that his message hasnt changed in the last 25 years or so. How many other instructors can say that?


Golf instruction trends go in and out of style but the laws of geometry and motion just stay the same.

This is interesting. Why #1 though? #4 is up in the left arm pit and not on plane, #3 is not a direct drive thing I guess, #2 is on the aft of the grip and on plane..................the firing sequence is 4,1,2,3 ........1 comes before 2. .Today is the 10th day of the 3rd month........I dunno. I like it though as #1 is the pp associated with Extensor Action and hitting.

The more I learn of TGM the more I concentrate on my pressure points and the better everything gets.....touch wood, jinx, cross my fingers.

PP#1 is always 'on plane'. The use of PP#1 is independent of its path in 3-D space during the motion. Active or passive, PP#1 always exists, and firing sequence, while important, is separate from plane.

Thanks Edz

It works.

the big piece is being on the same plane in the "impact zone" . . . this is a big deal with #3 angle . . . Homer said plane shifts were hazardous . . . I believe the closer you get to the ball the more hazardous they become.
