Hey gang!

I recently purchased this gizmo to work on my swing in the garage during the off season. I'm only on the first and second protocol. I'm a little lost. I have done the protocol movement as instructed in the video during a couple sessions of 30 reps. In a mirror it looks like I am doing it correctly. My problem is when I do it with an actual ball the ball is going 45 degrees left (push/I'm left handed) into the net instead of straight. I've tried to do the motion very slowly and to ensure the face is square to the target but when I hit a ball it shoots left. I tried standing closer and farther from the ball. No luck. I may get a couple good ones but not many. 

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

 

Thanks in advance.

You're either:

  • Shanking it (most likely)
  • Leaving the face WIDE the heck open (less likely, especially if you put the clip on in the correct orientation)

Shanking with the PlaneMate is not an unheard of thing. It's quite common.

Good to know it's not just me!  Great video. Thanks for putting it out there. I'll give it a go tonight.

    • Day 58: night putting session for about an hour. Started with lag putting and ended with putts inside 9’. I need to work on putts from 6-12’, but in a solid spot overall. 
    • Birdied a different #6 today (incidentally, also a par-5, but not the same one on which I previously birdied).  Here's the funny thing though:  it's the par-5 that caused me to post my "how do I avoid bogeys?" on par-5s recently.  So I guess I still haven't parred that hole.
    • Day 20, May 24.  Played 18 today, very poor ball driving.  One GIR, and it was a 4-wood from the rough.  Several other instances of hitting a green on a full swing (and at least one full swing motion -- a 50% UW) that wasn't for GIR.   Still shot an 87 and even had a birdie (chip-in).
    • Welcome to TST.  I spent a bit of time in the UK but I had to look up Wagon Wheels.  Don't think I ever saw them.  Had to Google to see.  Couple similar items in US but Google says they are different. 😁
    • Day 264 5-24 Worked on getting chest through and arms down infront of chest. Contact isn't great yet but on video looking better.
