One Plane Golf Swing, Is It The The Best For Every Golfer (Video) - by Peter Finch

Is the one plane golf swing the best for every golfer? Now any quick look at any professional tournament throughout the world will tell you that every professional golfer, although they have certain characteristics which are similar, they all swinging the club very slightly differently. This is never more apparent than with some of the best players in the world, from the past all the way to the present.

Now a one plane golf swing is when the hands, the arms and the club follow a same path back as they do through. A good one plane golf swing would see a setter with a spine angle titled over, the club shaft forming a ninety degree angle between the spine and the actual ground. As the club turns away, as he reaches this first parallel position the club head is in front of the hands, the wrist hinge upwards, the butt end of the club points down towards the target line, the shoulders rotate until the left arm is across the shoulder line and the spine angle remains the same. On the way down it just reverses itself down at the target line, club into the hands, down into here and it follows the same positions on the way through. Now that is a one plane golf swing, but just a quick thought of so many different players. If you think of Jim Furyk, his swing isn't one plane and it follows a path which goes from out to up, to down and into inside. If you think of Garcia with a big drop down on the inside on most occasions on the way down. If you think of players from the past, your Lee Trevino's you know there are so many different ways to actually swing the golf club. Although you'll tend to find kind of the more modern players who are brought up through a good coaching system will tend to have swings which are more one plane because technically it is the most consistent way to play. If you have a unique swing that's rerouted that isn't on one plane, if that ball sets off towards the target in a straight line and it finds its way to the target that you want, there's no reason to start changing and trying to find that one plane swing. In general, it will make golfers more consistent, but as kind of history shows and as the greatest players in the game show, it doesn't matter that much. It doesn't matter that much. If you have a swing which you grew, that you're confident with it doesn't have to be one plane, you go ahead and use it if it works. 2014-11-17
