Michael Finney with 7 Golf Swing Concepts to Improve Ball-striking
On the Mark Golf Podcast
Understanding the D Plane for Better Golf Swing Mechanics
Hitting down on the golf club causes the club path to shift right, leading to a draw. Aiming left is necessary to compensate for hitting down to achieve a straight shot. Understanding the D plane and how the club moves through space is crucial for improving golf swing mechanics.

I'm sorry I'm kind of rambling on here, but we walked up to Paul Wood who was an engineer at paying the vice president of engineering. Great guy. And he said that, yeah, and this is the other part, the club path part when you hit down your path shifts out to right field for a right handed golfer and that's the 3D nature of hitting down the club is going out. So the more you hit down, the more your club path goes to the right and would cause a draw. And he told us they had to aim ping man to the left because when they put a six iron in ping man's hand and they hit five down on the six iron in order to make the ball go straight, they had to aim at left because ping man was hitting down to make the ball fly straight in some testing that they were doing. And that, whoa, that really, that was the first click. And then we became friends with Frederick Tuxin and he explained the D plane. And we just took off in there like 2010, 11. But yeah, I would say along

those lines, and this is for all of you folks that have taken a lesson with someone who's used a launch monitor and then they don't just give you distance and spin of ball where they actually giving you the mechanics and the explanation, the D plane explanation of how your club is moving through space. Right. In backside. Well, if I
