anybody use this as a tool to train the swing plane?



Now swing your hands to the top, making sure the hoop stays on that same plane. Then bring your hands down as you would on the downswing, still keeping the hoop on the same plane (right).

Stop when your hands are even with your right thigh. If your right shoulder has rotated out toward the ball, and the hoop hits your left side or comes close to hitting it, you're over the top. Focus on moving the hoop round your shoulders so it stays on plane, as I'm doing in the photo to the right, and you'll feel how to keep the club on a good inside track.

We use a hula hoop (that guy's is too small) at the Academy to demonstrate not only that the hands move back and up but also how far IN they move.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 3, April 11, after the Masters and before dinner, I had time (quite a bit of time, actually) to hit about two dozen practice balls, complete with the pelvis limiting drill.  As with the past two days, I would do the drill for pelvis limiting, then take slow rehearsals of the backswing, checking positions in a mirror, and then reset and hit.  These were all indoors, off a mat, into a net, primarily with a 6-iron, although a few were with a 9-iron.

      Day 234 4-11 Wrist arching and hips/chest in backswing. Really trying to hammer in the wrist arch, its such a  better swing when I do it correctly, its not in muscle memory yet.

      You know, I haven't followed much professional golf the past few years, and he wasn't the star of today's show, but I think I like this Sam Burns fellow.  I hope he plays well tomorrow.

      2026 Masters

      By Shindig · Posted

      All of these missed fairways and the miraculous escapes followed by the seemingly reliable miracles suddenly stopping reminds me of another former Masters champion whose luck ran out on the 72nd hole of a major twenty years ago.
