Perfect ON PLANE Golf Swing In SECONDS (Unique & EASY Drill)
PGA Pro Bob Menzies introduces a unique and easy drill using a standard umbrella to help golfers achieve a perfect on-plane swing. By visualizing staying 'dry' during the backswing and 'wet' during the shallowing phase of the downswing, players can eliminate slices and over-the-top moves. The video breaks down the takeaway, wrist hinge, and the 'question mark' move for a more consistent and powerful impact.
Keep the club head 'outside' or in front of your hands during the initial takeaway to stay on plane.
The wrist hinge should begin approximately when the hands pass the trail leg (the pocket area).
A 'flat' takeaway where the club gets behind the body early leads to an over-the-top slice.
Shallowing the downswing involves a move that mimics drawing a question mark to attack the ball from the inside.
Simplifying your swing thought to a single word like 'Umbrella' can prevent mental 'handcuffing' during the 2-second swing.
