One plane vs. two plane swing?

Re: One plane vs. two plane swing?

The way I see it that the two plane swing uses two plane angles , one similar to the address plane and a steeper plane at the top.

The one plane swing uses the address plane throughout the swing but at the top it is parallel to the first although higher

Both require you to drop the hands on the downswing to get back into the release position and plane.

As mentioned earlier they become apparent at the top of the backswing where the one plane angles the shaft at the end of the shoulder, the two plane angles the shaft roughly half way along the shoulder.

Re: One plane vs. two plane swing?

i have made the switch from two plane to one plane. I had a terrible tendency with trying to hit the golf ball and had an ugly OTT. With the one plane swing i find it easier to just turn my back toward the target and tryin to hold that position as long as i can. It has added power back to my game and i have less thoughts flying threw my head. Also i have been watching Vijay alot, i have used his right leg kicked in as a trigger for my backswing and keeps me in tempo instead of swinging for the fences.

I just joined the Club and found the One Plane Swing and Two Plane Swing discussion interesting. I read Jim Hardy's book and watched his videos and they helped me a lot. But i have occasional topping problem as a one-plane swinger (at least i am trying to be). Maybe i am getting too flat or shfting to right and the right leg bracing you mentioned helped me also.
Have you heard of Chuck Quniton and his web site. He teached One Plane Swing in his web site and his swing looks good. Any opinions?

[quote=pnearn]I personally found it a misconception that the One Plane Swing as preached by Hardy stated you didnt need lower body rotation. You could just rotate your shoulders from the top


The way I read it was that the first move should be a hip bump to start the lower body, then start to rotate the shoulders. I read that on the Golf Digest website from a book excerpt from Hardy.

Re: One plane vs. two plane swing?

hi all
if you look at all the great player the first move of the down swing is the hips sway, some move a little some a lot but all move some and all pros i have looked at in frame by frame start the him movement where there hands and club is sill moving back, this makes the club head lag even more as hand start to move down as for a instant the club head is going back as hand move doen, this movement is started by hips moving out the way so elbow of right hand drops and its that movement the generates the clubhead speed, look at any high handicap player and there hand pause for and instand and the clib head does too and losses that lag that the pros make happen. it the timing of the pros at the start of the downswing and it dont matter if it a one swing plane or two at impact the both look the same and its there where it matters.
