Slice or Hook?

Simplify the Swing Plane/Swing Path to straighten out the shot.

The vocabulary of swing plane and swing path is often used interchangeably.  This swing element is a big influencer of ball flight curvature (e.g. slices and hooks).

An efficient motion with swing plane/path mechanics are when backswing paths and downswing paths are very similar. 

Most golfers struggle with this element of the game. There are numerous drills to help improve swing plane efficiency.  Establish one that creates a positive downswing feel, and then commit to many many hours of practice!
