Default Plane Line Question
Just Wondering

Is the Towel plane board the best way to practice plane line. I recently had a practice session where i hit between two wooden dowels placed very close to the ball, worked very nice. Is this better. Thanks

Towels don't break as easy!

The staight line illusion can get you above plane if you aren't aware of it.

Folks that try and trace the target line with the clubhead. It's off plane and powerless and generally why they suck.

The thing to watch out for with that is that you can trace a straight plane line with the right forefinger and still have an off-plane right shoulder.

Sorry if i'm way off here but you're saying the two dowels is not a good idea because it would kind of just make me swing the clubhead and make a hackers flail at the ball, so the towel is the best drill for plane?

A club goes back, up and in depending on your pattern and preference. If it only goes back (or up, or in), you are off plane and out of balance.
