Question

Does the swing plane change much from club to club? and if so, how do I adjust to it?

Answer 1

First of all , do you know what a swing plane is ? Are all your clubs the same length? Is length a governing factor in the angle of your swing plane? So, how would you adjust the angle for each successive club from the longest iron to the shortest?

Answer 2

I don't think the swing plane needs to  change too much club to club, it does change somewhat in that a 3 iron is longer than a PW.  Everything else should more or less remain the same (ie grip, stance, alignment, squared club face, etc)  I'd say make your adjustments with your knees, sort of 'sit' closer to the ball by bending your knees for your shorter irons.  Keep your back straight, slightly bent forward at your hips, I'd say don't try to do your adjustment with your back (ie hunching forward or standing more upright for short to long irons) do it with your knees.

Answer 3

Each club is a different length therefore the plane must change.

Look at a driver swing compared to a wedge swing. Use Tiger's swing or Phil's as an example.  The wedge is clearly more upright than the driver.  Look at the length of the shaft in the clubs.  The driver shaft is longer hence the flatter swing plane. Look at the angle where the clubhead and shaft are joined together. The shorter clubs have a more upright lie angle  Just by standing closer to the ball with your short irons (with a shorter shaft and more upright lie angle) will make you swing more upright.  You should not find it necessary to make other adjustments.

Answer 4

No - ideally the swing plane doesn't change AT ALL from club to club.  You drop it in the slot the same every time and nail it dead solid perfect.  Your set up will change (narrower stance the shorter the club) but the idea is not to change the plane.

Answer 5

lol noob

sorry that question just hit my funny bone.

dont adjust, try and develop a repetable swing, golf is hard enough as it is, dont make it anymore difficult. Get lessons if you can afford it.
