I don't know what I have but it gets it done for me. My brother recently changed his completely to a one plane swing. He studied a guy called Mo Norman if you are familiar with him. It has made a massive difference to his accuracy off the tee especially.

Yea one of the best ball strikers ever to play the game,
I taught of changing it last year but seen mo and ben Hogan videos changed my mind

Forgive my ignorance , what's a one plane swing?
Should every good swing not aim to be on one plane?

That's the point of the one plane swing but tiger, Rory top pros have a two plane swing

Moe used a plane that was on one angle all the way from address to the top, which was totally unique,

The modern one plane is simply players bringing the lead arm across the shoulder plane at the top.

Totally different swings, most players on tour are one plane or slightly above, the right elbow pointing towards the ground at the top.

Some like Dustin Johnson bring the hands higher, but are still bent over the ball in one plane setup.

The likes of Bubba stand upright and two plan as a result.

I don,t think it should be called a swing though, it's just a position.

What happens from transition onwards ,marks the swing method imo, so Dufner aNd Hunter and Kuchar are pivot based torso swings, no roll release, body squares the face.

Others use hip slide and throw arms, hit with right hand, or swing with the left side.

I think the simpler swing is the pivot based, passive arms, one plane with a stable release. Hunter Mahan is a great example to copy.

For those looking for help on a simpler pivot swing, there is a teacher on Youtube called Dan Whitaker who is absolutley brilliant in terms of understanding that swing.

He's a desciple of 'Slicefixer' who is an American swing guru prominent on Golfwrx who is regarded as the better instructor:

Google his swing theory, it's called encyclopedia Texarkana.

I think you will find that players like jimenz and kutcher are known for one plane

John Divney

Yeah, good call, Jiminez is a good example. Low and left exit.

Tiger under Foley is now more a so called one planer, although I think he,s quite an anomoly as he swings both was, arms sometimes, pivot others.

How do you know how many planes you have?
What's a plane(swing wise)?


Do people really think about this stuff seriously at our level?

If your left arm goes across your shoulder line at the top, meaning the club, left arm and shoulder lie on one 'plane', it's a one plane backswing

Basically it's the classic bent over straight spine and arms hanging straight down, versus the more upright player who bring the club up in two very different planes due to their upright posture.

I think it's important to know where the club is at all times during the swing for even the regular hacker if you want to get consistent ball striking, and to alter the swing path from those pisitionsto eradicate hooks, slices,

Not really swing plane but a great video.
