Missing Golf Shots Right – How To Cure It and Hit It Straight

Golfers learning the one plane swing who miss shots to the right are often more experienced, lower handicap golfers who have been taught to swing more from the inside.

Most of these golfers come from a two plane swing background that teaches the golfer to drop the arms back down from their “high above the head” position at the top of the swing.

In order to give the hands time to get back down on plane, their hips will slide laterally toward the target while delaying the rotation of the upper body back to the target. This move drops the club back to the inside and is unnecessary in a more rounded type golf swing.

Because the one plane swing is built around a rotational action of the body, sliding the hips toward the target causes the club to be delivered too much from the inside causing blocks or snap hooks. When the hips slide toward the target, the position and angle of the spine is changed.

First, the upper spine tilts away from the target, which in turn, changes the plane angle of the shoulders. This change in the shoulder plane drops the trail shoulder beneath the desired plane which, in turn, drops the club beneath the plane. From this position the golfer must rely on the hands to square the club and control the ball flight.
