(Music Playing) Let us do a quick low drill and show them a little bit about swing plane. What we can do here, this could help you check your swing plane. We can take two golf club and you can do this at home. Take two golf clubs and put them back to back like that and you grip them. You can see, Kent is addressing the golf ball if he takes the back and do a good position. You can see that he is parallel to the target line, when he gets near to the top and see the bottom club will point at the golf ball on the take away. When he comes down the bottom club points right back at the ball again and back to the parallel position back to square at impact. This is a great drill for you to work on it . If you want to feel what that club is doing or what plane that club is swinging at around your body. One point that we can bring up and show with this, we go back and do this again. If we have a shorter club. The closer we are to the golf ball, the more upright our swing plain is going to be. If we ever wedge in our hand for instance, the more upright the stiffers cannot swing it. If we have a driver in our hands and inch away from the ball a long ways, you can see how the swing plane is going to get a little flatter, because it is going to be flatter around his body, that is the only difference and we will swing between the club. Why is it flatter? Because remember, the longer the club we have, the farther way we are from the golf ball, the flatter our swing is going to be.
