Product Overview
The Swing Plate (new model)
Developed by PGA Professional Jamie Brittain. Manufactured in the UK and distributed by GTA in the US and Canada.
The 2021 version of the standard Swing Plate has 1 swing plane rod and 2 ground target rods (3 rods total), essentially extending the target line. The bracket for the swing plane rod includes a sticker with degree angle markings from 0 to 90 degrees.
You can order the product with or without the alignment rods, but the shipping is quite a bit cheaper for the 'base only' model if you have your own golf alignment rods. The rod holders fit 8mm (0.315") diameter rods which are the standard size for nearly all alignment sticks sold.

You will see the original model shown in one of the supplemental pictures. An extra rod holder was added to the backside of the plate so the product could be used right or left-handed without having to modify anything or so the player could extend the target line both toward and away from the ball. Shown below, @GolfGirlEm sets up with the original Swing Plate base and standard 8mm alignment rods.

Practice anywhere

(standard 8 mm rod diameter which is the most common size) The new Swing Plate (2021 model) is shown here. It has an extra rod holder welded onto the plate so you would use 2 rods on the ground and 1 for the swing plane (3 total rods).

FAQ
Does it come with alignment sticks?
You can purchase the base only or the base with rods. The Swing Plate fits all standard alignment sticks. If you get the original base with rods you get 2 rods. If you get the new Dual with rods you get 3 rods.
Will it fall over?
No. It is made of high-quality cold-rolled steel and due to its surface area and weight, it will not fall over. It is sturdy and strong. The base plate weighs 800 grams. (1.76 lbs.)
Is it suitable for Left-Handers?
Yes! The Swing Plate can be used for both right and left-handed players.
Will it fit in my golf bag?
Yes. It is portable and small enough to fit in a golf bag pocket. It even includes a soft drawstring carry pouch.
Can the angle be locked?
If you are not going to adjust the angle, you can use a spanner or wrench to tighten the bolt. Out of the box, the setting nut will keep the rod holder in place but you can still move it without having to loosen the nut.
"The Swing Plate is an invaluable tool for every level of golfer. It is both portable and versatile"
Liam James
European Tour Coach
If you have a ‘flat’ backswing; to work on the functional swing plane, simply place a golf ball 1 club-head length away from the alignment stick that’s on the floor & adjust your other alignment stick so it is matching your shaft address position with the club you are using.
Weight Transfer
Place The Swing Plate behind you and angle it so your alignment stick is about 3 inches to the target side of your target leg. Your goal on the downswing is to nudge it.
Place your Swing Plate behind you and angle your alignment stick next to your trail leg or hip. Your goal should be to make a backswing without touching the stick.
If you tend to lift your arms up instead of rotating your body on the backswing, you can place your golf ball about 1 club head width inside the alignment stick that is on the floor. Your goal is to turn your body and arms together so the club goes underneath the angled stick which is at the same angle as the club shaft you are using.
