In this video I discuss the importance of swing plane. Establishing the proper swing plane will make it much easier to create strong impact positions. Swinging the club on an effective swing plane reduces the need for compensating moves to be made during the swing and will produce greater ball striking consistency. I also discuss common flaws often seen (such as out to in..aka over the top), why they happen, and how to cure the problem.

Allowing the arms to work with the body is neccessary to keep the golf club on plane. When you swing the arms independently they will not be supported by the body and will have a negative effect on your golf swing. Notice in the video how my hands remain in front of my chest. I try to maintain this relationship throughout the entire swing. The feel I want you to have is you are hitting the golf ball with your body and the arms are simply transported back and through by using the pivot (body rotation).
