A simple swing plane trainer

By Steve Mcmurray

This idea was shown to me by William Breland of http://www.gologolfitness.com.

Take an old club shaft without a club head and put a grip on either end.

Purchase a couple of small keychain pen lights (I found these maglights at WalMart in the camping section).

Secure each of these lights in either end of the shaft through new grip caps.

Place a long strip of tape on the floor that represents the target line.

Make sure each of the pen lights are turned on and line up as if to address a ball.

Slowly swing through the backswing and then the downswing, impact point and follow through.

What you want to do is have the light path follow the target line as you move through your swing.

As the club head end light leaves the target line on your backswing the grip end light should align with the target path until you reach the top of your backswing.

As you begin your downswing, the grip end light should follow the target path until the club head end light aligns on the target path all the way through impact.

As you continue on through follow through and the club head end light leaves the target path, the grip end light should align on the target path until you reach the end of your swing.

Doing it slowly will reveal the areas in which you have a hard time maintaining a consistent swing arc.

It is often the case that some basic alignment flaws can be corrected. In addition you will be able to feel where you are having motion restrictions or difficulties. These can be addressed with stretching and strength coaching.

Until later...Have a great game!
