Re: Reaching

Hi Todd,

Just my own personal opinion,

I wouldn't look at that artical ever again, you should find your natural swing, for me trying to stand furthur away from the ball, hunched over stretching and then trying to swing 'flat'.

There appears to be a total mis-conception here, yes the correct swing plane is important, however you have your own natural swing plane once you learn the correct path the club should travel the height of the plane depends on the height and build of the person swing the club.

If you are 6ft 6inches standing with you feet miles apart bent over stretching for the ball in an attempt to swing flater, sorry you would look silly.

Ian Woosnam trying to swing upright would hit ever shot fat........................enough said.

My closing comments are tall players swing upright (more two plane) and short players swing Flat (more one plane) the boys in between are in between planes.

Again this is only my own thoughts.


Ian.
