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.

    • Hopefully this one is better  
    • Patrick Cantlay's strokes gained from 2024: I wonder if he takes more time on approach shots given that was the worst part of his game last season. And then here are his 2023 stats: Much better ball striking season. I wonder if there are any differences in his times between these two seasons. I tend to think he's just slow in general, but it'd be interesting to see his time differences.
    • Not sure, I think players have their own pace. Speith was always slow, regardless if he was in contention or not. Well, more so when he was in contention. It might be a push there on that question. 
    • Without knowing the study at all, this could be more of a reflection of who is tournament ready and who isn't. If you have a quick trigger, it could mean your swing is working really well. Fidgeting, lots of rehearsals, maybe means your swing's not functioning as well as you'd like it to and you need more time to feel it all out before you hit your shot.  
    • A study done by the European Tour shows spending less time over the ball produces better shots.  This makes sense. I can see where if you are over the ball a long time you lose the ability to make a more athletic swing. There is also the possibility of just overthinking the shot while over the wall as well and not being in the right headspace.
