Using a hula hoop, you can visualize the different types of bottom contact that are common among most golfers.

A normal bottom of the swing looks like an unaltered hula hoop, while a wide or shallow bottom of the swing looks like a hula hoop that’s been pressed into the ground. Conversely, a narrow or steep swing looks similar to a hula hoop with your foot holding the bottom down and your arms pulling it up.

"Serious about your golf game? Willing to put the work in this off season to improve? If yes, you will want to sign up for the new Plane Truth Golf App. It is a systematic approach supported by online lessons, a library of state of the art swing video clips, a Forum, where ideas are posted for comment. Most important is a well thought out system that allows you to best understand the key parts of downswing, backswing, address and impact/ follow through. Identity your swing issue and use a system of shallow or steep corrections. I am a new user of this app but not new to Plane Truth Golf."
