Whether you ‘come over the top’, have a ‘flat backswing’ or ‘sway’ in the backswing, you can learn to manage your tendencies through correct use of your Swing Plate and alignment sticks.
Your Swing Plate is ideal for use on the range, at home or in an indoor swing studio. Fits your own alignment rods! (standard 8 mm rod diameter which is the most common size)
The quality construction allows for consistent, purposeful and precise practice. The Swing Plate is fully adjustable for both RH & LH golfers.
Is it suitable for Left Handers?
Yes. You just have to rotate the unit and pivot arm around 180 degrees.
Will it fit in my golf bag?
Yes. It is portable and small enough to fit in a golf bag pocket.
Can the angle be locked?
Yes. If you are not going to adjust the angle, you can use a spanner or wrench to tighten the bolt.

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.
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.
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.
