Different Swings. Same Checkpoints.

Watch the swings in this video and you’ll notice something important.

They all look different. Different tempos. Different shapes. Different styles.

But at certain checkpoints — especially at the start of the downswing — they’re doing the same thing.

The grip end of the club is pointed right back at the target line.

That’s not a coincidence.

Once the downswing starts, it’s almost impossible to recover if the club is off-plane. That’s why elite players get the club organized before they move down — and why swing plane matters so much.

That’s the exact idea behind the Check Point Swing Laser.

It gives you instant visual feedback on your swing plane. Trace the green stripe with the lasers, and you know the club is moving exactly where it should. Miss the stripe, and you immediately see what needs to change.

There are lots of swings that can work. But if you study someone like Rory McIlroy, you’ll notice one thing stays constant:

His club is on plane almost the entire swing.

If you’re trying to improve your swing — or teach someone else — that’s a pretty good model to learn from.

And this is one of the simplest ways to train that motion and build real muscle memory.
