Hello, my name is Jeff Richmond and I’m the director of instruction for the online Consistent Golf School and creator of The Golf Swing Test.
I want to congratulate you on taking the 2 minute golf swing test. It was one of the best things you could have done for your golf game.
Why?
Because these results are going to confirm whether you have one of the worst swing faults in golf…or not!
And if you do have this serious swing fault you need to know about it because it will be costing you….
- distance (could be up to 50 yards)
- accuracy (pulls, pushes, hooks and especially a slice)
- consistency (fat shots, topped shots, thin shots, toe/heel shots, sky shots, shanks etc, etc.)
Naturally, all of this makes you score higher than you’d like which affects your enjoyment when playing golf.
So make sure you read this entire page right now because if you have this one swing fault it could be the only thing stopping you from really making a big improvement in your golf game.
OK, let’s get into the results…
The test you have just completed was to see if you had a backswing plane problem or not. You see…
There was one particular place where you should have hit the wall with your 7-iron.
And that place was when your left arm was parallel with the ground. At this point in your backswing you should have hit the wall and the clubshaft should be pointing directly at the ball or just inside it like this:
PASSED TEST
Here are a couple of examples of professionals you may have heard of showing you the correct backswing plane:
David Toms
Here is a picture showing David Toms halfway (left arm parallel with the ground) into his backswing:
Notice David has just ‘hit the wall’ when his left arm is parallel with the ground? But also take note of the plane of his backswing. Because at this point in the backswing the shaft should be pointing either at the ball or just inside it. Here is a picture with a red line showing the plane of David Tom’s backswing:
So David Toms clearly has a good backswing plane. Let’s now look at one of the longest hitters that has played on the US PGA Tour at setup and then at the half way point in his backswing. This is with a 6-iron by the way.
Hank Kuehne
Now when you completed this swing test, if at the half way point in your backswing you were a long way away from the wall like this….
FAILED TEST
….then your swing plane is way too upright. Conversely, if you hit the wall well before your left arm was parallel with the ground like this….
FAILED TEST
….then your swing plane is much too flat.
Important Note: Understand this about the golf swing because it’s very important…what happens in the backswing largely determines what happens in the downswing. So if you failed the golf swing test this swing fault will be causing you most of your ball striking problems.
Now that wall swing test I got you to complete would for most people have given them a good indication as to whether or not they have a backswing plane problem. And if you did fail the test it will lead to a downswing plane problem which WILL cause great ball striking inconsistency (more on that in a few minutes). But a good way to check to see if you absolutely have a backswing plane problem or not is to get a video of your driver swing. And when you do that, at the halfway point in your backswing draw a line along the shaft like this:
If you do this and you find the line is pointing to the right of the ball then your backswing plane is too flat. This is what most amateur golfers do and it costs them a lot of distance, accuracy and consistency. Here are some examples of poor flat backswing planes….
Amateur Golfers Backswing Planes
Important Note: The amateur backswing planes above were examples of bad backswing planes. You want the swing plane of your swing to be pointing at the ball or slightly to the left of the ball at the half way point in the backswing like this:
The backswing plane is so important because that largely determines what is going to happen in the downswing. Most amateur golfers swing back with a swing plane which is too flat (as you’ve seen above) and this causes them to come down with a swing plane that is too steep like this:
Amateur Golfers Backswing & Downswing Planes
Important Note: The blue lines below represent the backswing plane and the red lines represent the downswing plane.
Amateur Golfer #1
Amateur Golfer #2
Amateur Golfer #3
Amateur Golfer #4
These amateur golfers are demonstrating the REVERSE of what should happen in a good golf swing. Because at the halfway point in the downswing the club shaft should be pointing either at the ball or to the right of the ball.
HERE'S PROOF OF THIS...
Professional Golfers Backswing & Downswing Planes

(Reversed for us Right Handers)
Now if you compare the professional golfers swing planes to the amateur golfers swing planes there is a night and day difference. Here is a side by side example of that…
Amateur
Professional
So let's summarize all of this...
The professionals keep virtually the exact same swing plane on the backswing and downswing, while the swing planes of most amateur golfers are all over the place...to say the least!
But the most important point is this...
Pro Golfers’ Backswing and Downswing Planes are ALWAYS Pointing at the Ball, or Very Close to It...
Don’t believe me? Scroll back up and take a good look at those images one more time...it’s mind-blowing really.
Swing Plane IS the Secret. It’s Why Professional Golfers Run Circles Around Amateur Golfers and Consistently Hit More Crisp, Consistent, Accurate Golf Shots...Even When They Aren’t Playing Their Best!
But the real questions is why? Why are most amateur golfers swing planes the complete opposite of what is correct?
I think Mr. Hogan said it best...
Reverse every natural instinct you have and do just the opposite of what you are inclined to do and you will probably come very close to having a perfect golf swing.
So if you’ve found you’ve got a swing plane problem, to fix this problem you’re going to have to go against what feels natural for you.
But the swing plane is a very confusing topic. While many golfers work on their swing plane and try to improve (after all, it’s no secret that swing plane is important) they get bogged down in overly complex theory and say “to heck with this.”
Let’s face it...fixing your swing plane the traditional way (tons of golf lessons, endless hours on the range, etc.) just isn’t feasible for most amateur golfers.
It’s because of these reasons I decided to create an incredibly simple, straightforward plan that golfers of all experience and ability levels could understand and follow to improve their swing plane.
As a result I knew that I could help all amateur golfers strike the ball more consistently, while hitting longer and straighter golf shots than ever before. Here’s some proof from golfers that have followed this plan already:
Hi Jeff,I filled out the form on your site and did the test like you said. I don’t know how you did it, but your solution to my problem was spot on.
I always used to have trouble with a consistent swing plane. If I wasn’t hooking it off the tee, I was slicing it to the right of the green.
Since I purchased your programme and put everything into practise, I’m hitting the ball so much better. I’ve gained distance (especially off the tee) mainly due to the ball going straight for once. As you can imagine, I’m now shooting lower scores, which brings so much more enjoyment to the game.
My buddies think I’ve been secretly having coaching lessons and are dying to know how my game’s improved so much. So, let me win a few more beers and I might just let them in on my secret (lol).
This is truly worth it’s weight in gold.In short Jeff, this is the best thing I’ve done to help my golf swing, ever.
Thank you."
You have really fixed my swing. My new swing feels much easier and more relaxed. Now I’m beginning to swing like a pro. I was motivated to do what I never thought I could with these lessons.
I’m a fairly new golfer and normally shoot about 110 but after practicing the steps in the program I shaved off 14 points!
Everyone was so impressed with my results and were amazed that I improved so quickly too.
I liked that fact that you offer the satisfaction guarantee but it definitely was not an issue. Your product is truly wonderful!”
Because I failed the test I have definitely been taking these lessons seriously.
I went out last weekend and played my first round of golf since getting the program and following it and I really smoked the ball. I am so happy to say I shot an 84. I typically don’t break 100!
My golf game has dramatically improved by hitting the ball much farther and with much more accuracy. The information you supplied me has changed my game completely.
I now believe that I have the swing and confidence to play in local tournament here.
Thanks so much for the help.”
I failed the test and I’d always thought of myself as a fairly decent golfer. So I bought the program and after going through some of your drills it’s a wonder I managed to score at all. My swing plane was way off from the start!
Your instructions and drills were explained step-by-step in great detail and were so helpful.
I’m so much more consistent now. I shot a 78 which is four strokes below my handicap using my new swing. I actually play better and enjoy the game of golf a lot more now that I see the improvements I’ve made.
I highly recommend this to any golfer. 5 stars all the way!”
Hi Jeff, Well I ‘ve been two weeks on your programme and tested myself on the golf course today WOW!
For the first time ever I am learning something that is actually working!
Lots of comments from my fellow golfers as to what I have been doing since I was last on the course! My fairway play has dropped by up to 3 stokes on some holes amazing. I will continue with the programme and move on to studying the longer driving module as well.”
Hi Jeff, thanks for the follow up. Since I started your How To Fix Your Swing Plane program, I have made some big improvements in my game.
Living in Toronto, Canada, I played my last game last weekend and for my last 4 holes I was par. I have never had these positive results in all my golfing years.
I started with changing my grip based on your program and it made a huge difference in my driving and my iron play. My chipping around the greens has improved just using the new grip.
I am working on the other parts of the program and with a complete turn with my back to the target I am getting more distance on my drive. So far I am happy with the program and thanks so much for keeping it simple. The program is easy to follow and I am taken my time to get it right the first time.”
Hi Jeff,I amazed at how much your program has helped my golf.
For the last 10 years I have been plagued with a faded and a slice. It has robbed me of both distance and direction. Since adopting some of your easily understood principles my ball striking and square connection have been amazing. I have never been this consistent before. I still hit some shots off line but that’s golf. If I was perfect I would be on the seniors tour!
I now step up to the ball with a new found confidence that I am going to hit the ball well. Your teaching has got my swing onto a more upright plane and I find I am not hit the ball fat like I was but have an arch that is more of a sweep motion. Not over the top like it was. I am definitely hit the ball cleaner and more accurately which is helping to lower my score.
I am so pleased I purchased your program. I have been frustrated with my golf for a very long time, but now am starting to see the potential I have felt I had starting to happen. Thank you so much for your program.”

By now you’ve probably acknowledged your swing plane could use some work...and I’m here to help.
After discovering the major swing plane differences between professionals and amateurs, I thought it was time to create a program to help golfers of all levels master their swing plan, and never struggle with ball striking inconsistency again.
My simple 3 step program has been designed specifically to teach you in a simple, easy to understand format how to get your swing plane to be a virtual “carbon copy” of the top pros swing planes.
Even if you do nothing else and just improve this part of your game you’ll enjoy more consistent ball striking and have a lot more fun (especially taking a few bucks from your buddies!).
Here’s what you get:
Step 1 - The Perfect On Plane Takeaway
The takeaway sets the state for the entire golf swing, and is essential if you want to swing on plane each and every time.
During the first step of the program, you’ll get 4 unique takeaway drills that will give you instant feedback, so you’ll know right away if you’re doing them correctly or not.
On page 51 I’ll give you a specific checkpoint, and once you pass the “test” you can move on to...
Step 2 - The Ideal Backswing
If you struggle with the dreaded "over the top" death move, you'll love page 58. I'm going to give you the best drill in the world to groove a consistent, repeatable back swing plane.
Once you've completed the self-assessment on page 62, you can move on to...
Step 3 - The Downswing Plane For Consistent Ball Striking And Effortless, Explosive Power
During step 3, I'll show you how to get in the perfect position on the downswing to strike the ball with the consistency and force of a professional golfer.
In fact, on pages 65-70 I'm going to show you a secret move that I haven't seen revealed anywhere else that will show you how to get into the perfect position on the downswing... Every. Single. Time.
You'll also get three drills to help you ingrain this secret move... permanently.
Putting it all together...
After you’ve gone through all the steps, I show you (on page 86) how to “tie it all together” and start hitting consistent, powerful golf shots with your new, perfect swing plane.
I’ve also included plenty of pictures that you can always refer back to, which will ensure that you never get stuck.
Imagine This Scenario Next Time You Tee it Up and Play 18...
You hit a high, powerful draw off the tee that leaves your golf buddies thinking “who is this guy?”
But then it gets even better...
After your buddies get through whacking it out of the trees, it’s your turn to play your approach shot from the middle of the fairway.
The shot is a normal 7 iron distance, but you’re hitting it so much better you pull out the 8, and manage to compress the ball nicely and hit a high, solid, penetrating golf shot that settles 10 feet from the hole.
Again...your buddies are scratching their heads...”who is this pro?”
By the end of the round, you’ve made more pars and birdies that you ever have before, all because you took a risk-free chance (see below) on improving your swing plane...and it actually worked!
