Having a PlaneSWING® at HOME will help golfers put into practise the drills and exercises recommended by their Teaching Professional, building a powerful, dynamic and repeatable motion which should lead to longer and straighter shots and importantly, lower scores!
At PlaneSWING® we believe that pound-for-pound this is the best full swing golf teaching, training and golf fitness system in the World.
PlaneSWING® FOR GOLFING FITNESS

Teaching Professionals:
By adding PlaneSWING® to your facility you are investing in your teaching business and your students’ rapid development
The PowerSLIDER™
The weighted PowerSLIDER® stretches, trains and builds specifically the muscles used in the golf swing, developing a repeatable motion that will deliver power and accuracy. Can be used by men, women and children (estimate aged 10 upwards)
The PlaneCHECKER™
The PlaneCHECKER™ (removable) is located at the butt of the PowerSLIDER™ and is an easy reference point which will help indicate whether or not the golfer is on plane at the top of the backswing and follow-through
The Stance Alignment Mat
The Stance Alignment Mat has straight lines and encourages a square set-up simply and effectively
Easy Storage
The PlaneSWING® can be folded away and rolled away for space saving and easy storage. In this image the mat has been removed for visual understanding.
HOW TO USE PlaneSWING® IN 11 EASY STEPS
(This is also an exercise machine. We recommend you consult your physician if you have any health issues) |
|
| 1 |
Set the hoop at “0” setting and fix the PlaneGUIDE™ (the bungee cord) from one side of the hoop to the other at the halfway point |
| 2 |
Take up the address position with the PowerSLIDER™ resting on the bottom of the hoop and ensuring that at least 4inches (10cm) of the PowerSLIDER extends beyond the hoop. It is important that you adopt good posture (good spine angle) and an orthodox grip |
| 3 |
Check that the PlaneGUIDE runs just below the halfway point of the sternum and that the PlaneGUIDE bows slightly across the chest. To achieve this you may need to adjust the setting of the angle of the hoop up or down to suit. See ideal plane setting image. |
| 4 |
Check your stance alignment is square on the Stance Alignment Mat. |
| 5 |
Once the ideal plane has been set, slowly build a swing with the weighted PowerSLIDER keeping shoulders and forearms synchronized, imagining a clock-face. Build from 5 0’clock to 7 o’clock, then 4 to 8, then 3 to 9. Stay relaxed and build this motion for a few minutes before going beyond 9 o’clock. |
| 6 |
As you build the swing (and width) you’ll notice that your forearms have naturally rotated at point 4. Continue to build this motion and blend in wrist hinge (cock) to 90 degrees. Do this on the follow-through too. |
| 7 |
At 10 o’clock and 2 o’clock you’ll notice that the PlaneCHECKER™ (assuming a 90 degree wrist hinge with an orthodox grip) is in line with the PlaneSWING hoop on both the back swing and the follow-through. |
| 8 |
If the PlaneCHECKER is above the hoop then it’s likely that you have over-rotated your forearms or not synchronized your shoulders and forearms. If the PlaneCHECKER is below the hoop it’s likely that you have taken the PowerSLIDER too much on the inside, not building width into the swing. Taking a club too much on the inside makes it difficult to hinge the wrists often resulting in an over-the-top motion. PlaneSWING helps eradicate this and other faults. |
| 9 |
Building the swing gradually from the address position to an almost full swing, back and through, increases flexibility and the weighted PowerSLIDER will stretch and strengthen specifically the muscles used in the golf swing. KEEP IT SMOOTH – NOT AGGRESSIVE |
| 10 |
Repeat this for no more than 3 minutes at a time, with a minute break in between. |
| 11 |
Regularly check that the setting remains correct |
|
Notes:
a. The LONG PowerSLIDER simulates driver to 5 iron. By gripping the PowerSLIDER at the bottom of the grip you simulate the shorter club and vice versa.
b. This WILL impact the plane angle setting of course. You’ll require the setting more upright for a shorter club and flatter for a longer club.
c. The PlaneSWING can be used to improve pitching and chipping too by using the SHORT PowerSLIDER, available as an optional extra.
Simple to use and easy to understand. PlaneSWING® truly is golf, Plane & Simple™
