Michael: watching you, one of the most popular and well known golf professionals in the world, talk candidly about your own swing flaws and how you battle so hard to fix them is the most refreshing thing I have seen in a long time. This proves that there is no ending to trying to get better at this game. 99% of the world would have looked at your swing and thought it was PERFECT, amazing, and beautiful. Kudos to you for never being satisfied and always wanting to make your game better. Let’s do this!!

This is one of the best instruction videos ever. Very clear and understandable information given in your unhurried style. Thank you Michael.

thank you for a very good plane explanation. i have never used a hanger or heard the advice on rolling the forearm.i really feel as if this will really help on both the takeaway and being on plane.i seem to fight with this all the time.thank you again and keep up the good work!

Mr Breed this is the best drill ive used to get me back to proper feel of the swing place. important to also have a closed grip so three knuckles at least are showing, and then a one piece takeaway, the arms and wrists fold/set automatically. thank you. Dr D

So glad I’ve found your KZfaq channel! I watched on cable years ago and missed it when I picked the game back up. Thank you for years of instruction.

This is such a fantastic drill to work on the correct swing plane. I do my self a favor and duct tape the hangar to the grip. Otherwise you spend more time fiddling with the grip than you do swinging🙂

I like the creativity with the hanger. I will do this. Thank you Michael!

Thanks for a great video!! Something I've been working on as well. The results during my last round were nice to see.

Fantastic instruction, advice and tip Michael. Absolutely love your explanation and demonstration of how to keep the club on plane. Thank you.

Love how you’re so critical of your own swing lol got it on the toe. For different reasons I also get below the shaft plane, my hands get too high and I lower a lot and get under the plane. Too much inside out. Any ideas?

Thank you for making this content!

Perfect. Couldn't been taught or said any better than what you just did. This helps my slightly cupped wrist. The hanger drill is best for this. Again thanks a ton. Like too add something since i have played professionally back in the 90s and had an excellent teacher name Mark Steinbaur. Mark was pretty much like you. He gave me a drill and worked on it with a very slow swing or even a half swing. So yea got to go slow to build proper muscle memory. It takes hundreds and hundreds or thousands of balls to make it right. This is good teaching you have here.

Great video! No one can explain things like you!

Thanks I'm going to try it

Greetings, I adapted a laser to the grip and this shows me where my tip of the club on the grip side is pointing towards the ball and I make a line back and forth from the ball and it is the best way to make my swing plan, good video

Fantastic analysis here

Good lesson, I need it.

Awesome Video 👏👏👏

Thank you brilliant video.

Excellent video

Excellent video.

I really need to do this, i am really over the plane at the top. But it is soooo hard not to put speed in when practising

Great video

Pure Gold !

Great video!! I’ve been using and teaching with the world’s cheapest training aid..,.the coat hanger

Haha I take it back shallow and come down on plane. I have to feel the exact opposite of what you’re saying here to get the club on plane. I’m opposite man. For pretty much everything in the swing.

Noticed that on plane ball strikers “paint the trail forearm” with the club on the way down You can see that during your downswing & especially with Steve Stricker

Great stuff pro! Thoughts on setting up for single plane, starting with hands higher at address starting & staying on shaft plane line the whole time?

Winter homework for me

I have been trying to get my coach to share this information on swing plane and getting myself on plane. One question, where should the camera be located. I have heard the camera should be located right in line with the hands at address. Is this true? thanks for the great video and it's something I can work on this winter.

17:10 I remember when you had your first show on the Golf Channel you used a credit card on your target hand to feel it staying flat.

This is not any sort of criticism but rather a hopefully productive/constructive/beneficial observation. A very important point you need to include right about the halfway point in your video (12:46 specifically) is to note the position of your arms and their orientation to your body in your sequence. They are out in front of you on the right image and coming in from behind you from a blocked position on the left. Ultimately at that point in your downswing you would want your left hip rotated and pulled back slightly more so your mid is out of the way of your arms, but if properly timed you can still produce a consistent ball flight in the present form. The only thing that would suffer if properly timed in this form would be completeness of covering the ball reducing compression and subsequent yardage distance. Also a bit of specific accuracy as a consistently predictable outcome from probably fat shots. One of the most effective things to remember as a singular swing thought is “Rotation if the center core stabilizes the rotation of the club on its swing plane”. Turning with the club as you sense the momentum of its own weight creates the most stable and natural feeling golf swing and that feel all comes from a properly centered rotating body core. Timing that turning down of the right forearm in your sequence correctly over the range of club lengths as a consistent practice when not playing often is definitely a challenge. But finding the right “feels drills” to remap your swing back into that same previous effective stock swing muscle memory and actually writing them down on a note that you stuff into your bag can actually offer some very effective triggers for your muscle memory. Nice detail by the way. Made it all easy to understand and comprehend. ⛳️👍🏻😎👍🏻⛳️

Only person I’ve ever seen mention that rotating of the arms is what gets us on plane/shallow. And only one to mention doing it in the backswing so we don’t have to do anything in the downswing. Idk why nobody else explains it that way.

Confusing, one piece takeaway don’t roll, put a hanger on the club and roll away. Golf instruction is mind blowing.

Following on from my last comment, I think that I’ve had the ‘light bulb’ moment - it’s all to to with left arm rotation. Video on left, arm lift with no rotation - second video, arm rotation👍 Am I correct?

Lower the camera and make sure it’s inline with your hands 👍

What would you recommend to help someone get under the plain on the downswing? Same drill?

Looks like a great idea but - the camera angle doesn’t show the actual ‘connection’ between the hanger and the forearm. What part of the coat hanger touches the forearm - it’s difficult enough to keep the 2 together🥴

Good video, keep it on plane and don't break the glass.

Swing plane looks flat. I try to get the butt of the club to point between the ball line and my feet. Not as steep as Michael was in the before video and not as flat in his after video. Thoughts. ?????

Is this drill similar to the "hanger" golf aid?

your right heel has stayed down I need to work on that

This takes a LOT of work

He looks extremely flat at the top , not that I am a swing trainer , but would a fair analogy be to keep your lead hand on top of the trail hand and down the target ling as long as possible

Why does his shoulders look very flat and level though , like a baseball swing

He just doesn’t have a very athletic swing - he’s really not on any of those planes because he’s as stiff as a board and looks like he struggles to lift 20lbs - also it takes him too long to explain anything
