Drawing Plane Angle Lines

Plane Angle Lines should always be drawn from the Sweetspot through the selected Plane Angle reference point, e.g., the Hands, Elbow, Turned Right Shoulder or Squared Shoulder. Avoid drawing lines from the Hosel unless you intend to illustrate a true Clubshaft Plane.

Remember, the Clubshaft always rotates about the Sweetspot and not vice versa (2-F). It will move off its own Plane and onto the Plane of the Sweetspot during the Backstroke and will return to its Plane during the Release Interval. After Impact and the Follow-through (Both Arms Straight position), it will once again seek the Sweetspot Plane during the Finish Swivel (2-G).

Summing up: No matter the originating Angle of Inclination or any subsequent Shifts, the Sweetspot Plane represents the true Plane of the Golf Stroke. It is therefore imperative that any Plane Angle Line drawn intersect that point.
