Golf Swing Plane Tip:

Learn To Swing Over Your Right Shoulder To Keep The Club On Plane In Your Backswing

The following golf swing plane tip will have you hitting the ball straighter and farther more consistently. First, it is important to understand that swinging on plane correctly is a huge key to being able to hit good golf shots. When your swing gets off plane, there are many possible negative shot patterns that will usually result.

It is important to swing the golf club on plane throughout the swing. At the top of the backswing you want to swing the golf club over the tip of your right shoulder. If the club is swung over your right shoulder it will be in the best position to initiate the downswing and will give you a better chance of hitting the ball solidly.

Learning to swing the club over your right shoulder on the backswing and then back over your left shoulder on the followthrough will promote a swing that is much more on plane overall and your swing path will get better.

If you take a practice backswing and loosen your grip, the club should fall on the tip of your right shoulder. If the club falls too much towards your head, it means you are too steep with your swing which causes slices and pulls. If the club falls too much behind your shoulder, your swing is too flat or laid off. This can lead to hooks and pushes.

If you practice swinging over the tip of your right shoulder on the backswing, I guarantee you'll be hitting the ball better.

A swing that is on plane will allow you to hit the ball straighter. The golf ball will also travel farther because swinging on plane will promote better contact with the ball. An on plane golf swing is simple and effective.
