Find your ideal swing plane

ADRIAN FRYER

Place two clubs on the ground, pointing to your target. Now take your 7-iron. Address the ball normally, but grip the 7-iron halfway along its shaft, below the grip. Swing halfway back, allowing the wrists to cock, until your lead arm is parallel with the ground. From here you can see the handle, and where it’s pointing. If your action is on plane, the butt of the club will point towards the shafts on the ground. If yours does not, move the club into position to improve your awareness of what on-plane feels like.
