Swing Plane - If you have a ‘flat' backswing; to work on the functional swing plane, simply place a golf ball 1 club-head length away from the alignment stick that's on the floor & adjust your other alignment stick so it is matching your shaft address position with the club you are using.
Weight Transfer - Place The Swing Plate behind you and angle it so your alignment stick is about 3 inches to the target side of your target leg. Your goal on the downswing is to nudge into it.
Backswing Sway - Place your Swing Plate behind you and angle your alignment stick next to your trail leg or hip. Your goal should be to make a backswing without touching the stick.
Unwanted Head Movement - You will need to join 2 alignment sticks together or use a cane, but by placing a stick against your head you can monitor any unwanted head movement.
Body Rotation - If you tend to lift your arms up instead of rotating your body on the backswing, you can place your golf ball about 1 clubhead width inside the alignment stick that is on the floor. Your goal is to turn your body and arms together so the club goes underneath the angled stick which is at the same angle as the club shaft you are using.
