Definition of plane confuse a lot of folks. This video may not use the same terminology as TGM, but it has some very important visuals.



'the' plane - the plane of force that sustains the line of compression (1:07 mark) the path of PP#1 (given zero accumulator #3 in this case) This is a far better visual of plane than Hogan's pane of glass IMO.

the 'follow through' - both arms straight

very clear demonstration of the 'flying wedges' (2:50 mark)

And the importance of using impact fix as a guide to setup (5:17)


Keeping in mind that Moe's #3 accumulator angle was near zero, his motion is an outstanding example of TGM.

This is why we have G.O.L.F. and the planes and plane shifts should be explained by the book (TGM). This parallel plane stuff is only making it harder for golfers to understand the True G.O.L.F. Motion. If it is a one plane swing then it has zero a shift. Moe does not do this and many are making a living telling this lie of a one plane swing. I oppose this type of instruction and will point it out when I see it. Ed, by saying that there are some good references by this instructor is giving in to the B.S. spreading in golf instruction. The more we explain G.O.L.F. or Homers way the golfer will understand the True G.O.L.F. Motion. It is G.O.L.F. or the highway for me.

If you want to keep it simple just explain 3 of the five planes, the hands, elbow and the turned shoulder planes with single and double shifts. I explain this in every lesson with video or still pictures of tour players and have not had a problem with confusing the golfer. I feel the golfer needs to know this correct understanding of what is going on with swing planes. How do you teach swing planes?

By paying attention to the hands, PP#1's travel. (see drills section)

A lot of folks get hung up paying attention to the shaft, but IMO it is far, far simpler to look at the hands and their travel.

Snead's "Wagon Wheel" and a focus on the hands are much easier to teach and explain than plane shifts etc. Within Homer's views of plane, I understand where he was coming from, but I think a LOT of people forget how he defined plane - "center of gravity" Per 2-F - not shaft.
