How far should you stand from the ball? It's one of the most common questions I get, and the answer reveals something fundamental about the Single Plane Golf Swing.
In this video, I explain how your distance from the ball is determined by the proper forward bend of your upper body at address. When you establish the correct spine angle, you create the ideal space for your arms and club to swing freely—and more importantly, to return to the same plane at impact that they started from at address.
This is what makes the Single Plane Swing so repeatable. You're not fighting your setup. You're not lifting your body through impact to create room for the club. That lift—so common in the conventional golf swing—is compensation for a flawed address position. We eliminate it entirely.
I also cover how proper club fitting transforms your club into a precise measuring tool. When your clubs are reverse-engineered to fit a biomechanically correct swing, the club itself tells you exactly where to stand. This is the opposite of conventional dynamic fitting, which adjusts clubs to accommodate swing flaws rather than correcting them.
If you've ever felt uncertain about your distance from the ball, this video will give you clarity—and a system you can trust.
The Single Plane golf swing is not a quick fix golf technique. It is a system, beginning at address, that simplifies the most important moment of the golf swing - impact.
Starting at address on two planes where the arms hang straight down at address, the Conventional golf swing is complicated. Because the arms are hanging straight down, a conventional golfer must lift the body into impact creating stress on the back.
This upward movement to accommodate the two planes is unnecessary.
