Many may know this, but for the ones who don't, I think one of the best ways to increase your ball striking is by working on swing plane. It is the cause of hooks/slices, some of the most common problems with golfers today. If you go to youtube and search golf swing plane, it will explain how to have a right swing plane. This is something my coach taught me, now my ball striking is increasing tremendously. Good Luck everyone!

I agree that swing plane is an excelent thing to work on.

However, going it alone can be very difficult if you don't know what you are looking for or what type of swing you most closely resemble. There are an abundance of body position and swing faults to be aware of.

Proper analysis to get your swing on plane via self-video or a pro is a fantastic way to improve. If you go it alone, ask someone with some experience what they see as well or post it on www.swingacademy.com for some random internet advice.

Also, don't think that much about the club. Focus on the hands. I found a thought today that helps me get the hands more from the inside. Thinking I'm going to come down the same way I went up.

You know whats kinda funny, we do all kinds of different drills and methods to make us hit the ball well, like work on our hip turn or shoulder turn, yet all that matters is how the club is when it hits the ball and how hard it is. Golf is simple yet so difficult to master

I am now a believer. I watched some vids online and tried to use it on the course for the first time without going to the range. Ball sticking was better although i had some hooks and slices but thats something i need to fix at the range. Still a pured shot felt nice.

I shot the lowest round of my life so far today. Thanks.

I would reccomend that if you were to work on your swing plane, then you should adapt a one plane swing if you dont already have one. I have been working on this because ball striking was a bit of an issue with me new irons. I have seen greater distance accuracy, and it is now much easier to cut a ball or turn it over. TRY IT! this one plance swing is why rory mcilroy and adam scott are so good, plus their swings are amazing to look at.

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
