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.

    • Day 132: 5/7/24 Full Speed Spectrum Training session 8/24. 7th training program overall.    Another slow session but 4 mph faster than my last session, which was my slowest ever. Going to the doctor on Friday to check on pulled neck muscle.
    • Day 26: Did full swing practice after work. First 15 balls were working on top of the backswing feel, and then tried to incorporate transition feel into the next 15 balls. A's, although this will be my last season of being a fan as they leave for Las Vegas (by way of Sacramento for a few seasons). Hard to see myself rooting for the Giants, but if that's the only MLB in the Bay Area, I guess I might get on board.
    • My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.
    • Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.   
    • No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death.
