should be striving to master. What is the best plane for you? Are you more suited to an one plane swinger, or a two-planner?
The more familiar two plane golf swing is comprised of two imaginary lines, one that is traced from the golf ball across the golfer's shoulders when he is at location, and the other drawn through on the shafts of the golf clubs and through the hip area for an iron mid-iron. The concept is that during the backswing the club will move within these two lines.
At the top of the backswing, the left-handed golfer's hands are elevated above their right shoulder, while their left arm is more upright. Done correctly, when the swing is at its highest the golfer will be in a strong, in a plane and ready position to begin the process of transitioning to the vital downswing. This is the reason why so many weekend golfer's swings run amok and go off plane.
What is the reason? Because during the transition from backswing into downswing the two-plane golfer will have to stand near the end of their backswing for a short period of time to ensure they are in the right place to time the motion, while their arms drop back on the correct plane of swing. If their body is moving further away from the target , even just a little too quickly, or it is swinging too far, they will be able to pull the club off the plane. LKW Planen A lot of golfers try to swing to the top of their thigh and cast the club out away from their bodies and over the target line. Again, this move takes the club off the correct golf swing plane. The chances of them making a square hit on the back of the golf ball is low.
The two-plane golf swing needs more precision and is more likely to be affected when the golfer realizes they're off the plane. It's much harder to do consistently than the one plane concept.
With that said, Tiger Woods has returned to a two plane swing after he had success with a single plane swing for a few years. Personally, I like the two plane swing to match my size and abilities.
The golf swing that is one plane On the other hand, follows the imaginary line that is drawn from the golf ball, up the golf shaft, then down the hip area for the golfer.
At the top of this backswing, golfers with right hands are in a lower, flatter position at the top as opposed to the two golfers. And the key factor with this type of swing is that their left arm is parallel to the lines that shoulders form. Their swing path is more around them and more inside than the two plane golfer's swing.
On the crucial change to the downswing all the one plane golfer has to do is face the target in the direction they want to go, as they are already on plane and don't have to time the move.
In theory and practice, maintaining the same direction throughout the process makes it much more efficient and simpler to bring the club head back from whence it started on the other side of the golf ball.
If the beginner golfer is able to master this simple swing plane, without getting too flat and without getting the golf club too far and in front of their body (stuck) that is, the elimination of the dicey downswing to backswing transition will be well worth the time to implement this single plane of motion.
Two of the greatest ball strikers of all time, Ben Hogan and Moe Norman had a great time incorporating variations of the one plane the golf swing to their game.
There is no doubt that many professional today use a little of both theories and only by experimenting on the practice range can you determine what is the best fit for you.
If you're interested, think about purchasing a swing plane-training device that will help you gain the right feel for the golf swing plane, and to build the muscle memory required for you to recreate it on the golf course. There is nothing that will help you accelerate the learning curve of your swing plane faster than practicing on an excellent golf swing trainer.
