Not sure how i felt about it. The instructor told me I was a little over the plane at the top of my backswing, and that made me come too far inside on the downswing, causing my right elbow to get "stuck" and forced me to flip at impact. Sounds pretty solid reasoning to me, but I wanted to run this by ST for some feedback. Thanks all.

There is an optimum plane for each club length, but I think that it is not so critical that being a little over it would cause those results.

If you paid for that lesson, I hope you got more than that for your money.

The root cause of flipping is an arm swing that gets ahead of your body movements.  The golf swing should be body and hands (body powered swing), not arms and hands.

Go to someone who offers video lessons or do them online. Don't be fooled by most pro's or assistant pro's at your local courses...

      I’ll just stick to the basics for now - got enough to work on… this is my home practice range. The little clearing in about the center of the photo is roughly 200 yards.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Played Musgrove Mill today. 72.3/155. +9 for 15 official holes as 2 holes are closed, and the par 5 16th plays as a converted par 3. We played the first three holes over to finish 18, and parred 1 and2 amped bogeyed 3. The good: hit every fairway. 1 less than normal for the converted par 3, but the second time I have done that this year. My sand wedge approach on 10 after a monster drive hit the pin in the back left corner hit he pin and spun away to 9’, and I missed the putt.   The great: hit 8 GIR and 7 were inside 10’. Needs work: Missed every birdie putt. No lip-outs. Just struggled on fast greens. Three-putted the par-5 9th with the pin on the back tier and jut missed hitting my approach to the proper level and it spun all the way to the front of the green.
