I am having a horrible time with my swing plane. It's way too vertical, which as you can imagine is causing a ton of havoc in my swing. With the driver I have no chance, which creates an over the top slice and with my irons I'm having to yank my hands in every time which creates inconsistent ball striking. I've come a long way with my swing but this part is killing me. I tell myself during every shot to keep the shaft level but then the habits take over.

Anyone have any tips or drills to help this? I have a video of my swing on my phone that I'm going to try and get posted, which I'm sure will help.

95 views and no help!?

Dude. What did you expect? You posted your question on the 4th of July. All 95 of us had to get to a BBQ. We still love you. Chill.

Yeah, post a video if you can. If you can't, the "Instruction" sections of golf.com, golfdigest.com and golfchannel.com (among others) must have TONS of article reprints and videos with tips and drills. Why not give a few a glance while you wait for the rest of us to sober up and post? I will say that when I hurt my lower back and had to swing very upright for a while, I was still able to get a good swing out of the Medicus (well, the Sklz version of the Medicus). So it's possible to keep the hinge from breaking even when swung on a steep plane, if you're careful. So it may not be a good indicator. Good luck!

Bag It:

3-Wood Wishon 525 F/D, 13*, Matrix Studio 65gm, Golf Pride Dual Compound
Hybrid: Wishon "321", 24*, MSF 85 HB, Winn DSI
Irons: Wishon 770CFE, Matrix Studio 74gm, Winn DSI

Putter: Odyssey DFX 2-Ball

Bag: Some big, honkin', ridiculous overkill of an Ogio cart bag with more pockets than I have teeth.

Actually it was posted on July 3rd :P.

Thanks for the links, I'll take a look at them to see if there is anything I can try out. I'm going to post a video of my swing once I figure out how to edit the video to make it shorter. :)

try reading Jim Hardy's book on the one plane--two plane swing theory. Decide whether you are a one or two planer and then use his suggestions.

A steeper swing plane is ok if coupled with a 2 plane swing. Works for me.

      I have had the flu recently which gave me plenty of time to pore over Joseph Mayo’s instagram. I have hit a ton of shots each day on carpet and a little started how easy this shot is to make. Key thought for me is bring the club “no closer to the earth.” That really resonated with me. If I really steepen the attack angle I can hit my 58* lob wedge barely an inch or two off the ground and a repeatable distance. I don’t recommend this but tried it to what the end ranges are for angle of descent. I actually think a 62*-64* wedge might be even better for this shot.
