Hey golfers, in this next video i'm going
to be talking about one plane versus two plane golf swing,
keep watching. Hi it's Troy from https://hittingitsolid.com
here, thanks for watching. So we're talking about the one plane
golf swing versus the two plane golf swing. So which one is right for you what are
the differences and what do they look like. So first
thing I want to say about both of these is you can swing with either one of
these swing planes or one or a two and you can still play fantastic golf. So
if you're doing one or the other and you're thinking about changing
you can still play great golf where you are right now
and that's been proven throughout history with many great players being,
having flatter swing planes.
Someone like a Moe Norman has a very much a one
plane golf swing, Matt Kucher, Ben Hogan they've had flat
swing planes or one plane swings and played
exceptionally golf at the highest level. And with the two plane side of things
you've got guys like Adam Scott, Bubba Watson, Tiger woods,
numerous others have all been able to play fantastic golf doing a two plane
golf swing. So you can do it both ways and still play great golf.
So I encourage
you to, to play or swing whatever feels most natural to you
that way you'll play your best golf. So let's go through what these two
differences are. Okay the one plane golf swing, so what
does that look like? So i'll show you this from down the line this will give
you the best view of it. So i'm set up to one here
now this doesn't matter whether you've got an iron or a wood it's exactly the
same. With a traditional one plane golf swing
what will happen is the golfer will take the club back.
Now first of all, if I was to draw a line right through that shaft
right through the head right through my body that would be my
my swing plane all right.
Through the hands.
There's various different swing planes. You can have an elbow plane
or a hand plane, this is sort of going through the hand plane so if that's my
plane there, in a one plane swing as that head goes
away now that club head will stay roughly on top of that line on the backswing.
So it doesn't have to be perfect, now each one of these golfers is a
little bit different. So as I go back as I turn now right about the top of the
backswing in a one plane golf swing, my lead arm for me it's the
left arm they'll be roughly parallel to my
shoulder plane. So hopefully i've got that about right.
It'll be roughly about on the same plane. Now for the one plane swingers in their downswing they have to use a
lot more rotation of the shoulders and the hips
and less of the arms. In this position here I have to really
rotate the arms, sorry the shoulders and the hips and
lower body to get the club down to impact
and through like that.
And a lot of them will swing,
will finish on roughly the same plane through to the other side. So the one
plane swing can be really effective. Some say you can
be a lot more consistent with it and a lot of these great players over
history have proven that with Moe Norman in particular probably
the most famous one plane golf swing. He had his hands really high at address
like this. Other ones like Matt Kuchar had them a
little bit lower, but the underlying, I guess the
similarity is that position at the top of the backswing
level with that shoulder plane. Now the other thing that they do on the
downswing since we get to this position here on
the downswing. That shaft plane that we started at
address they will get that club pretty much level or extremely very
close to that same, that same plane line that they had at
address.
They'll split that pretty much the same
and then match it up in the follow through. So that's keeping everything on
the one plane. All right let's have a look at the
two plane golf swing. All right the two plane golf swings,
what does that look like? So if I set up to one here. So for a lot of two plane golf swings
they may look very similar to a one planer at set up. So
as they go back, again we draw that, that shaft plane line as they go back
that clubhead for a lot of them will stay on that line, some of them it
doesn't, some of them it gets away from it very
quickly and goes up high. But for a lot of them it stays on it as
they rotate and get to the top the arms will lift a lot more, lift a lot
more and i'll get into a position similar to this, instead of down here in the one plane.
The two planes swing, they'll get somewhere up in a higher
position like this. Now in the downswing this varies for a
lot of players as different little, I guess idiosyncrasies
with the downswing.
But with a lot of two planers they'll also
get down to a one plane position at and through impact. So that's important to understand.
Someone like Fred Couples for example, he takes the club back very steep
like this but then on the downswing he shallows the club really beautifully
and gets back to impact in a similar position to a one planer would. So
there is a lot of different ways of doing it and Fred's just one of those.
So
most, most two plane golf swings they'll be
up at the top somewhere like this. Now the only difference is they need to
get a lot more vertical drop. There's a lot more arm and hand movement. Obviously they need to get more vertical
drop, and they need to shallow a lot more to get the arms down lower and through
to impact. Now different players over the years
haven't always returned the club in that one plane position at impact
on that same shaft line there. Some of them have been, had their hands a
little bit higher or even just a fraction higher like that but they've all been able to play golf
at an exceptionally high level. So I encourage you to experiment with what
feels natural to you. There is not one way of swinging,
there's definitely not a best case whether one plane is better
than a two plane everyone can play this at a high level
regardless of what handicap or skill level you're on at
present.
So that's how you do it. Now really
important coming up i've got a video that talks about
weight shift versus hip turn. Now this is an important video
to really get mastered to really help you out with your overall golf swing so
make sure you watch it, it's coming up. Do you want to know how
to play even better golf? Click and watch the video on your screen
now. It's going to go into more detail about golf weight shift versus hip
turn which ties in really well with this video to help you make a great
overall golf swing. Do you want to know how to play even better golf?
