1 & 2 plane swings
Jim Hardy and Peter Jacobson were on Academy Live showing the one plane vs 2 plane swing. Its kind of a take on Moe Norman but not really. The one plane swing seems alot easier on the body. This was stressed with Jacobson and another Chamion Pro who switched to the one plane recently. I am definitely getting Hardy's book as my swing is very much 1 plane but needs some tweaking. Dont we all? I think Hardy's book is called "The Plane truth about the Golf Swing" or something like that.

Andru, where did you get your info from to make the switch? Do you have Jim Hardy's book?

I was a bit of a mix but mostly one plane. After reading that article, I decided to give two plane a try. I actually found it easier on the body. You don't have to restrict your hip turn to coil your spine against it. I just let my hips and shoulders turn as far as they like and swing away. I think it's not as mechanical: you need better timing and such to be accurate and consistent but I find it much easier physically. The hard part is avoiding a slice: you really need to get your hands moving to prevent your hips and shoulders from getting ahead of them.
cheers,
Kris

Here are the basic adjusments.
Did the drills in the book and bent over more from the hips. That's about it.
Still becoming natural but I hit it much straighter. Mistakes tend to be a push. That only happens when I allow my weight to get outside of my right foot.( I'm a righty) It's a very nice simple action.

I started keeping the weight on the inside of my right foot and really trying to clear my hips. My feeling ( which means I may not actually be doing it ) is the hips start to turn (not slide) out of the way before I hit the top of my back swing. To do this I need to have that pressure built up on my right leg to push off.
When I let my weight get outside my right foot I can't get my hips cleared and because the drills have me coming inside I end up pushing it. So I've been doing this. I place the head of a club under the outside of my right foot. it helps me maintain that pivot point. Be careful not to reverse pivot though. As soon as my left shoulder hits my chin my lower body starts to uncoil.

Jim Hardy talks about the weight shift or the lack of weight shift during the one plane swing. While it didn't work for me I found keeping the weight inside promoted a more powerful and straighter ball. I actually hit a beautiful little cut shot with my driver and I draw my short irons. When the weight gets cnetered or outside my right foot. I hit a push. Everytime.
Cheers
