Looks like a great training aid (for me). From my lessons my teacher constantly corrects me bringing the club too far inside during backswing, and I also have a habit of flipping at impact, which it seems that this device is designed to help.

Tried some of the basic drills in the 7-day protocols without device and it definitely helped me gain some awareness of club position.

I have been seriously considering this for winter training. I did have a question regarding g it that maybe you guys can help me with. I live in a small apartment and do not have the room to swing a club even waist high to waist high, I get to out local indoor simulator twice a week, once for league and once for practice.  
 

is it even worth spending the money?

Can you go outside and swing in your yard?

Some days. But come January when we have 3 feet of snow it’s kind of tough

Then I'm going to vote "no."

Essentially, the PlaneMate helps you do a few things:

  • Take the club back without rolling it inside.
  • Get to the top reasonably well on plane.
  • Lay it down a bit from there.
  • Pivot through without throwing the clubhead at the ball.

I've bolded a few of the things that I think people are overlooking. These may be MORE important than the "helps you shallow it in transition." Heck, not everyone needs to shallow it, but a lot off people need more of those two bold things.

This seems pretty clever. The fact that it's sold out also says something. I might be adding this on my "From Santa, To Me" list 😄

Use the links above. It’s a good tool for three things.

Least of which is “shallowing.”

Right. And the second item in that list isn’t in my three. The other three are.

I follow a lot of instructors on social media and while I wouldn't say it's going viral (maybe it is, or awfully darn close), it is getting a lot of good word of mouth and they love it. Getting a big case of FOMO.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I ordered it but it won’t come until late February.

I preordered for the second wave and just got notification that it shipped yesterday. Looking forward to finally getting to try it out! Winter is here in Ohio and so I don’t think I’ll be doing much work outside.

I am supposed to receive mine on Tuesday.  We haven't had much winter so far in S. Ohio, but it will probably start Tuesday.

    • Day 237 (26 Dec 24) - played 18 with niece and her husband at one of the local courses.  We were first out - so we pretty had our own pace of play.  First few holes were a struggle, but the groove started by hole 5.  The green side wedge game kicked in - had several kick in up and down pars.  Best of the day - had my first ever sandie birdie on #9. It’s a neat par three with a pot hole bunker - found it off the tee.  Had about a 22yd shot from the bunker to the flag.  Hit an easy shot out with the 54 that hit softly and gently rolled center cup.  Had several other close wedge shots into others that were close but no hole out.  Was a great day with the green side wedge game - and seeing solid fruit from the drills. 
    • Day 16: 12/26/2025 A little more mirror work today. Then out to the garage net.  The first part of my PPJ swing thought is really starting to stick. The J still takes some focus. Plus, I'm still putting a priority on getting all the way to my finish.
