D-Plane in a Nutshell!


This is a tip from one of my good friends Matt Sheppard, PGA - Dixie Section Assistant Player of the Year.

When you are practicing, make sure you understand what is happening to cause the ball to do what it is doing. Only solid shots will give you the ability to correctly analyze what happened.
Face will determine initial starting direction and club path will determine curve. If the path of the club is moving left, and the club face is pointed right, the ball will curve right. Opposite for shots curving left. If the ball is curving in a way that you don't like, adjust the face angle at impact so it matches the direction of the swing path so the ball flies straight. This may be straight right or straight left, but try and make the ball go straight first before you try to make it go toward your target.
After you can make the ball fly straight, then you can try and change the path so the ball will fly straight toward the target.
