The Sweetspot Plane

For many years, Homer Kelley (Author of The Golfing Machine, which is revolutionizing conventional golf instruction) thought in terms of the Clubshaft Plane and not the Sweet Spot Plane. But over time, he came to realize that the Sweet Spot Plane was Boss. Here's why:

Don't Hit it at the Target

Let’s start with the single most basic element of making the ball go toward the target. Where does the clubface have to be at impact to make the ball go straight to the flag? The quick and easy response is square, but just as it looks like the sun rotates around the earth, it is an illusion.
