Analysis

[lagster]

I've said it many times, but I think all the talk of 'plane' is lacking the proper perspective

The HANDS

The plane is defined by the hands and the sweetspot

What Trahan advocates is based on this I would say. A steep plane angle of the path of the hands.

The club follows what the hands tell it, so monitor the plane of the hands (not the same as the 'hands only' plane in TGM)

Don Trahan actually wants the laser device that shines out of the butt of the club to point to the line the toes are on... throughout the backswing, and most of the downswing. He thinks it is incorrect to point at the baseline, or sweetspot plane.

Now... I know there are people that play very well that do either of these, and those that are in between.

I don't have the capability, but why don't we put some pictures up of a variety of players, and see what they are doing here. Camera angle of course, may make some difference here.
