Verizon Heritage / PGA TOUR / April 15-18, 2010

[Yoda]

Just in from the wedding of my niece that was book-ended with my own happiest moments: Time on the tee with those I can help.

I arrive home -- Mrs. Yoda is still making the rounds -- and tune in to TGC and this:

"With the help of the Konica Minolta Biz Hub Swing Vision camera . . . left arm is just perfectly on plane."

-- Peter Kostis

Please.

Heath's Hands/Club and Right Shoulder are In Plane with the Ball.

Not the Left Shoulder.

The Left Shoulder is well outside this Hands-Club-Ball line, as it should be.

Hence, there is NO WAY the Left Arm can be "On Plane."

[We'll put up a pix. Meanwhile, all you guys who can do this, please do and draw the lines!]

All this smacks of the Hardy 'One Plane' nonsense wherein the left arm is in the plane of the Shoulder Turn and, in some 'magic bullet' kind of way, also in plane with the Ball.

Even more please.

How much longer must we be subjected to this drivel?



Here's my vote for Hands, Sweetspot, Right Shoulder and Ball all In Plane at the Top.

[Pix coming.]

Alignment Golf.

Gotta love it!

Thanks Yoda.
Reading your reaction is like hosing down after a long day in the field--pure relief
Hope to get to the range tomorrow to work on pp#1 over the ball.

HG, great pictures of how Brian gets the club shaft PERFECTLY on plane. Homer Kelley would love that...

And what happens if you teach that misalignment to a guy who is talented enough to pull it off?

Thanks, hg. Your photo of Heath illustrates exactly what I was talking about. Clearly, Heath's left arm is not on plane, despite Mr. Kostis's analysis to the contrary.

If a "noted" television swing analyst can't come close to getting the Plane right, what does that tell you about the state of conventional instruction?

Thanks also to O.B. for his photos. 'Preciate it!

If we had a thread of Peter Kostis, among many others, incorrect geometrical statements of professional golf swings it would probably be the most lengthy thread in the history of this forum. Whats scary is until last June or so I just took their professional word as correct. There just might be a reason why handicaps have not improved.
