Through the Uprights

[Yoda]

Here's one guy who found that tracing a "straight plane line" (on plane motion) worked far better than "going left" (under plane motion). Enjoy . . . And a tip of the Lynn Blake Golf cap to Jason Helman Golf for calling attention to this clip.

Just a thought: With a positive attack angle (kicking a ball up and through the uprights), he would obviously want straighter or more right path. Kind of like a driver. If our kicker kicks the outside of the ball up in the air, of course it will hook. Pull hook. The left (old) kick is no good because there's no down in a fifty yard field goal. The cliff note premise of the d plane is that if you hit down you have to "swing left".... so the opposite would be true if you swung (or kicked) up. This video actually would support the d-plane perfectly. "Swing left " isnt universal because angle of attack also creates path. No intention of arguing or debating, just a note that this is very in-line with what "d-planers" would say.

Just a thought: With a positive attack angle (kicking a ball up and through the uprights), he would obviously want straighter or more right path. Kind of like a driver. If our kicker kicks the back of the ball up in the air, of course it will hook. Pull hook. The left (old) kick is no good because there's no down in a fifty yard field goal. The cliff note premise of the d planers is that if you hit down you have to "swing left".... so the opposite to a degree would be true if you swung (or kicked) up. This video actually would support the d-plane perfectly. "Swing left " can't be universal though, angle of attack also creates path. No intention of arguing or debating, just a note that this is very in-line with what "d-planers" would say.

Absolutely! I never had a quarrel with D-Plane, just with the people who used it to prove Homer wrong. He wasn't, and they didn't. I just wish I had started with the yellow book 40 years ago as I had it all wrong.

Thanks Kev. No doubt people use it in a negative way, or to put down other instructors or teachings, and that's unfortunate. As a good instructor you have to be willing to progress and learn so that you can more efficiently help your students improve. Being a closed book limits your potential IMO. Making our players better is supposed to be the whole point. Let the ego wars fend for themselves and resolve their insecurities. Character should factor in as what makes you a good instructor too. Id rather my students be on top of the mountain and in the limelight than me.

Haven't heard any such reports. Were you trying to post a new thread or a reply to an existing thread?

Hi Eddie

We have the forum set up so you can't post links until you have a certain number of posts first. It helps keep the spam to a minimum. I've released your swing video links.
