Downswing significantly under the plane...is this necessarily bad? Zepp 3D golf reading...

Hello everyone.

So I recently bought a Zepp 3D golf analyzer.  I'll be posting a review on this site later.  I've only had it for 2 days.

One of the things that is measured is swing plane and hand plane.  My hand plane is consistently about 5 degrees under plane, which I assume is fine.  The odd thing is that my downswing plane is 20-30% below the plane, sometimes more.

Assuming the thing works, is this a major problem?  Is it a problem at all?  I'm having a terrible time trying to get it closer to on-plane, and I'm not sure what the benefit would be anyway.  I seem to hit the ball on a straight ball flight despite these readings.  No draw or hook.

Would appreciate thoughts - thank you!

What do you struggle with most with your ballstriking?

Has anyone else had any experience with the Zepp?

Are there a lot of advantages of using one or do you get the same feedback from videoing your swing and checking body positions and swing plane that way?

Thanks,

Lee

I struggle mostly with hitting shots short and right or with a pull hook.

Ok gotcha. I'd recommend starting a swing thread here to confirm what the issue is.

    • Wow, largest ever 36-hole lead at the Masters. Seems good. I don't really have much to add, but I'm having a great time nursing a cold by watching this tournament.  I doubt Rory fumbles this one, but you never know. As a fan, I hope he can close this out with two rounds to go.  I saw a funny comment somewhere where someone said Bryson should try to 3D print himself a green jacket. 
    • Day 234 4-10 Blending hip/chest rotation backswing work and wrist arch in downswing. Pause at the top and slower swing. Recorded and hit foam balls.
    • Day 2, April 10 2026.  After watching today's excellent Masters broadcast, I have hit 18 balls, one at a time, each after doing the pelvis limiting drill.  
    • Day 33 (10 Apr 26) - Played in the club Friday shootout with a slight twist as the course was setup for tomorrow’s local “Masters” one day tournament.  The pins were in some slippery places and the greens firm and bouncy.  Overall made for staying the process all the more important especially on the greens. 
    • Rory up by six - makes me wonder if the powers that be will adjust Augusta’s moving day setup to be uber tough or uber getable to get a few closer.
