Hey guys, I'm currently working on getting my golf swing on-plane and I think tracing straight plane line works best for me. Is there any good drills for tracing a straight plane line throughout the swing?

Attaching lasers to the ends of your clubs works. Or if you don't have or don't want to buy lasers, imagine where the shaft is pointing: at the plane line or an extension of that up the wall (on the inclined plane angle). Or buy or build a plane board.

That's a good goal but I am not entirely sure you'll get the results you seek if you try simply to "trace a straight plane line." I think the tracing is more a matter of the result than something you actively try to accomplish.

Iacas, thanks for the reply. I am not concerned about tracing a straight plane line in the entire swing, I'm concerned about how to trace it through the impact zone for a straight shot (as I read from The Impact Zone by Bobby Clampett). Will it create a straight shot? And one completely unrelated question, what are your putting stats now when you have Edel and AimPoint together? I know AimPoint (Level I) but I am thinking of getting fitted for an Edel putter.
