On plane to WHAT?! I realize that Homer was an engineer, but what would be so terrible about using the terms, "target line" and "club path?"

Teach,

"Planes" may be easier to deal with if you remember that they're strictly about the orientation of the clubSHAFT - which is either On Plane (i.e. lowest end pointing at the Plane Line) or not. Whether you're trying to turn your hands to the Plane, or swivel back to the Plane, or whatever, it's always about doing so while maintaining that orientation of the clubshaft.

I try to recite my mantra every day: Plane is clubSHAFT control, Lag is clubHEAD control, and Flat Left Wrist is clubFACE control.
