Question about one plane (Chuck Quinton)

[acq111]

I am using this swing I have finally built from checking out Chuck's website, and it seems to be working well with my irons. I have yet to try it with my driver and woods. Would I apply the same mechanics and techniques as with the irons. I want to have a consistent game with a repeatable swing. So I want to have the same movements with all my clubs. If anyone is familiar with Chuck Q's method's please chime and and tell me what you think I should do with Drive's fairway woods etc.

Thanks,

Nick

I'm a student of Chuck.

I have a hybrid swing - I don't get my hands as deep as the OP swing would like (I keep them in front of my body to avoid getting stuck), but I do use a 'rotate around the spine' type swing.

It works well with all clubs. The recommended equipment changes for Joe Average golfer I would make would be (based on an 'automatically flatter plane'):

Shorten your driver, fairway woods, and long irons. This will help to steepen your swing plane (too flat and you'll get the lefts - in fact, Chuck just did a new video on pulls - one of the causes is being too flat). Or, simply adjust to the flatter plane - you may have to move the ball back a little bit.

Granted, it seems as though Chuck advocates a pretty consistent ball position, as your swing bottoms out at the same place (left armpit-ish).

Take some time at the range and apply your OP swing... see what you get.

Re: Question about one plane (Chuck Quinton)

Like Lowpost, I too am a student of Chuck's rotary style swing. I've had great success with all of my irons, using the turn and turn idea while staying connected. The fairway woods are still a work in progress but the driver is mostly straight as long as I stay connected and keep turning. Sometimes I have a tendency to pull my shots because my left arm gets disconnected and I stop turning and my arms keep going.

As Lowpost said, a shorter driver does help a bit. I didn't have a problem with not having enough spine angle but the shorter driver helped my accuracy (43.75" for me with a WTF of 32").
