Get an On Plane Golf Swing with the 4 Square Drill

This golf instruction website includes many articles and videos, covering the golf swing in extensive detail. Of course, there would literally be hundreds more if we included every single technique we use in our in-person golf lessons throughout the week.

Here is one critically important swing plane drill that we use almost every day. We call it the "4 Square Visual."

We use a simple alignment aid to help you visualize the different spaces in the golf swing. This is an outstanding drill to help you develop an on-plane swing.

Think of the golf swing in terms of two halves — front and back — and two sides, lead and trail. This creates four quadrants, as you can see in the photo.
