The Adjustable Plane Board

If you are going to build a full Plane Board, you need to make it adjustable. Train Start up and early Backstroke on the Elbow Plane, then adjust the Plane Angle to Turned Shoulder.

We did some work like this at my recent Academy in Germany. Some photos were taken of this process, but not by me. I'll see if I can't get the photos and put them up.

Readers who have access to the Explanar training device have it a bit easier. You can set the Explanar to the Turned Shoulder Plane Angle and, with the Clubshaft lying on the circular frame, still enjoy a 'normal' Address position. This arrangement permits the Hands and Clubshaft to begin their journey on the Elbow Plane and gradually make their way without incident to the Turned Shoulder Plane. See the photos of Brian Gay using the Explanar in post #90, Photos #13-15 http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/forum/s...?t=2383&page=9.
