Play Golf and Save Money at the Same Time
Golf balls can help save cashA player would end up repeatedly buying golf balls during his time playing golf. This is because it is easy to lose a golf ball in the course. A worn out ball also shows declining performance. Though a single ball may not be as expensive as the rest of the golf equipment, the accumulated investment for golf balls could still be staggeringly high.A person could consider purchasing Mark-outs. These balls did not pass the quality control standards of the manufacturing firm but passed the testing and approval set by the ruling bodies of golf. These balls could be found in retail and discount stores. They are unbranded because the firms do not want to sell these under the brand name. A great thing about these balls is that they do not show any significant reduction in performance and they work as well as the normal golf ball.
As a golf instructor I can see no reason why golfers should not adopt an upright swing plane regardless of their physique or flexibility.Yet, if you go online to search "golf swing plane" you will see multiple explanations about the subject and just as many differing versions about what is correct and what is not correct.As I will show shortly from a purely mechanics and physics point of view, the benefits in distance and accuracy far outweigh those of a flatter swing plane and for those reasons alone I recommend and teach the concepts of adopting a more upright swing for all my students.Swing plane angles are usually associated with a golfer's height.Golfers who are shorter in height are said to have a flatter swing plane.It is also common to see golfers adopt a flat swing motion due to characteristics of their physique that limit the range of their swing flexibility, such as their chest and mid section size.On the other hand taller golfers naturally swing with a more upright swing plane simply because of the increased height of their shoulders from the ground.But, the physical characteristics of a golfer are not the only things that govern their swing plane angle. What also determines swing plane is how they position themselves in their setup, and how they rotate their shoulders on the backswing...Swing Plane Angle Before I get into the specifics of an upright swing let me first define how the angle of the swing plane is often understood.I say that because I am sure like most passionate golfers you have read Ben Hogan's book "Five lessons. The modern fundamentals of golf" and his explanation of swing plane is probably one that is stuck firmly in your mind.Here is his explanation...Try to image a golfer forming a right angled triangle in their setup position.The vertical side of the triangle is formed from the top of their shoulders/neck to the ground around their feet position. The horizontal side is formed from the club head and ball position to that point on the ground that meets the vertical side of the triangle.The hypotenuse, or long side of the triangle, is determined from the club head to the point on their shoulders.The classic understanding of the angle of the swing plane is that it is the angle between the hypotenuse and the horizontal side of this triangle.
