i agree with that, i was just commenting on the fact that he said when he hits it god its good but when you hits off it really slices... that is because the flatter the plane, the worse the miss is going to be. but there is such thing as too flat a swing. i heard a guideline and i like to use it, it says that when you are at the top of our swing if you were to drop the club slowly you should hit your the very back tip of your shoulder. if you hit your head then you are too upright and if you miss you body then you are too flat.
