 One plane swing: No more "loosey-goosey"I have always been a re-router, Fred Couples type. Way outside on the backswing, then jam my right elbow into my side and rip that club inside-out of the plane.Well, I have given that up and adapted a new swing, and it seems to be working rather well. Think Adam Scott and Tiger Woods. Take it back on one plane, then back through on no different plane. It keeps my back swing short'ish and under control while the feel at impact is good. I have been hitting many true well struck, wuality shots lately that go along the line that I invision them going. I have also found that my long iron play is rather dependable immediately-a-days with this swing. As opposed to my days of "sure, I'm able to hit my long irons", however it in a general direction, not with pin-point accuracy. So, if you have always felt kinda "loosey-goosey" at the peak of your swing, I would recommend giving this theory an attempt. Read more on this topic one plane vs. two plane golf swing?I was wondering if anybody (or any individuals) can assist explain the main difference between the one and 2 plane swings. Recently, somebody I know mentioned that he switched from a 2 to a one plane swing. Ever since, I have been doing a number of studying on the subject (mostly articles online), trying to solve a) which type of swing I utilize, and b) which is "right" for me. Unfortunately, I have not truly been able to locate an solution to either of the questions and seem even more confused.There is a internet site that is devoted to the one-plane golf swing (www.oneplanegolfswing.com) someplace that you're able to get a number of extra info. You are able to also read a Golf Digest article on the topic with a number of great pictures and explanations. Only keep following the "continue article" link towards the bottom of the page until you get to the finish. I am having a number of difficulty knowing the differences between the 2 swings. From the photos and breakdown of the swings, the just difference that I'm able to see seems to be in the backswing and transition - the arms (and thus club) in the one plane swing seems to be "lower" than the 2 plane swing. Based on the descriptions and photos provided, I feel as if my swing is somewhere "in-between" (a one-plane set-up however then have a 2-plane swing when I look at my positions in the mirror). With a golf instructor, I have basically re-built my swing after taking several years off (and developing a number of truly bad "over-the-top" tendencies). I have not had a opportunity to discuss this with my instructor (yet), however I had the belief that I'd see what I'm able to discover beforehand. I am curious to know what others think. From what I'm able to tell, the majority of golf instruction regarding the golf swing seems to be more in the 2-plane mold. Thinking back on what my golf instructor is having me do, I am pretty sure I am developing a 2-plane swing. However, based on the photos in the 2 articles I listed above, I feel like the descriptions (especially the set-up) does not truly apply to me (or at the very least, I'm able to't recognize myself). Do you agree amongst writer's recommendations regarding the one/2 plane swings (from the Golf Digest article)? Quote:
Read more on this topic Learning two plane swingAny recommended editorials on keys for 2 plane from one plane swing. I've struggled with my one plane swing all year (first back to golf after long hiatus). Am thinking of revamping my swing. Have looked at stack and tilt, however desire to also think about 2 plane. My greatest option can be to take a lesson following spring. Any suggestions?Read more on this topic one vs. two plane swing confusion.I've been with a total of three different golf instructors over the past four seasons and with every of them, I have asked if they could teach me just the "one plane" swing like I had read about in "Hogan's Five Fundamentals." However instead of improving, my game is getting much worse. I have since discovered after studying "The Plane Truth for Golfers" by Jim Hardy/Peter Jacobson, that they all mixed the "one plane" and "2 plane" swing processes together in their instruction. Even in this forum, I will read somebody asking for assist followed with multiple replies that provide conflicting info.  For example, somebody was asking about weight shift, and a number of posters wrote to go from 50/50 at address to 80/20 favoring the right foot at the back swing to 90/10 at the forward swing. Others said to stay balanced during the swing, not to consider it, and let the rotation across the spine look after the weight shift. Both are conflicting, however both may be correct as I think the first piece of advice is for 2 planers while the latter is for one planers. So, what I am getting to is to see if we can all agree to specify the swing style we are using when asking for assist, and forward swing advice along amongst swing style it's intended to assist. It would clarify things and reduce the chance of one of us practicing the wrong method.  In addition, I would like to request for a number of swing advise based on the one plane swing. I am confused amongst action of the arms during the range between the start of the back swing and the impact position. After studying Hardy's guide, it sounds like the active arms are used to drive the shoulders and hips to the final position at around 90°/45° CW for a right handed golfer. Then, the left hip initiates the CCW turn a slight amount amongst following of the shoulders, hips, torso across the spine while keeping the spine angle constant. Hardy then goes on to say that the left shoulder and pectoral muscle carry the immediately passive arms down to the impact position. My questions are the following: 1. When, if whenever you like, do the arms become active again? I ask this for the reason that I read a current magazine (I forgot the title) that have images that show Tiger Wood's gradual boost in the gap between the arms and his upper torso as he explodes into the impact position. Is this for the reason that of his enormous amount of centripetal force? 2. Hardy states in his publication that one of Hogan's written errors in "Five fundamentals" was that Hogan suggested (initiating the forward swing) to tilt the hips out to the left, bring the right elbow down in front of the right hip and keeping it there until the impact zone. Instead, Hardy writes to rotate the hips, torso, and shoulders CCW as quick and hard as you desire, with no active arm movement, like I mentioned in my previous question above. When I follow this advise, I locate myself in an impact position where my hands and right elbow are behind my right hip. Is this correct? 3. I have heard a lot say that the pitching and chipping swings are separate styles than the entire swing. My brother's father in-law showed me his pitching and chipping method with little if any body rotation going back and a number of going forward. He swung his arms actively like I see in a complete 2 plane swing style, and he was very successful. Yet, I've a video from Rick Bradshaw (a highly reputable PGA instructor located in Tampa) where he emphasizes body rotation and passive arms. Again, are there 2 different styles for the chipping and pitching game? I believe I read one of Isaac's posts stating that there is not. I am sorry if I mis quoted you Isaac. Could somebody shed a number of light on my confusion over this? Thank you for any assist Sincerely, Mark
