Which swing plane is the right one?

There is a lot of discussion about swing levels. Usually very intensively. This is mainly due to the different points of view. In the end, it's always about whether someone swings too steeply or too flat. Even with top pros, you see a wide variety of swing planes that work for the respective player. Ultimately, it's all about getting the club into the ideal position at impact. The way to get there is different for every player.

In this sense, there is no "correct" swing plane, but only a swing plane that works - or doesn't work. Of course, this also depends on the physical conditions. When you are working on your swing with your pro, it is essential that you clarify whether the arms are too steep or just the club. Because if you don't analyse this properly, a lot of time will be wasted later in training.

What are the causes of the respective swing path?

There are many possible reasons:

• No rotation in the backswing
• Poor address position (e.g. open stance)
• Unorthodox grip
• Wrong imagination/swing idea
• Balance problems
• ... there are many more!

But how do you find out which swing plane is the better one and whether a change will lead to success? Improvement is often possible on the driving range. But it's a different story on the course. If you want to improve something fundamentally, winter is the perfect time. There is no tournament pressure and you may not even be able to get out on the course. During this time, it's worth working with video support to help you focus on the essentials.
