It is a combination of a rotational motion and an up-down motion – which can only happen on an inclined plane. The concept makes sense because the golf swing isn’t just purely rotational (like baseball) – and isn’t a pure up-down motion either.

As per Hogan, the entire swing needs to stay BENEATH this plane – any ‘crossing’ of the plane (by hands, arms or shoulders) will shatter the glass.Ī very cool visual, you will agree – and one that has helped tons of golfers – amateurs and pros alike. This plane is best visualized as a plane of glass resting on your shoulders (see first image below). The Swing Planeīen Hogan popularized the idea of a plane on which the arms swing – as the shoulder turns. While the original credit goes to an instructor in India that I worked with, I did find reference to this variation in books written in the U.S. This post will provide a slight variation on Hogan’s original ‘plane of glass’ concept – a variation that is a lot easier to visualize and execute. What exactly is a swing plane? And how can I leverage this swing plane to improve my golf game?
