So I have just been reading the Release on eBook as recommended here.

All pretty dry as you'd expect for a tutorial book. But not overly complicated. Then I got to chapter 7, and suddenly all the lights came on. As he was describing a one plane hybrid player. So someone who naturally as a one plane swing but is trying to release the club head through the ball like a 2 plane golfer.

How that a one plane hybrid can hit great shots when the timing is right, but when it goes wrong can literally hit every bad shot possible. Which has always been me, every time I have a lesson the pro asks what's your bad shot. Well on a bad day it can be a massive slice, duck hook, shanks and a skyer not to mention pushes and pulls. It now all makes sense, why I can be on song and then it all fall apart, especially in comps where my timing will start to go due to nerves.

I will be down the range now to practice the RIT (one plane release)

I'll use that one next time I'm playing Fragger's -"Hey Fragger, do you pull with your lead arm or push with your trailing arm"
That'll get him thinking and his swing will get even worse..:rofl::rofl:

Can it get worse? Actually that's harsh as the old chap hasn't been well. Bit like the old "do you breath in or out on the downswing". Chucked that one into a few roll ups at weekends and definitely gets a few nibbles

Two extremes. One plane on the left, two plane on the right. See the difference?

No I don't see any difference from a still image. One is very flat, one is very upright. Does that make a difference to whether you have a one or two plane swing?

Out of interest, has changing to a one plane swing brought anyones handicap down by many shots?

Was thinking this myself. Has anyone made a conscious effort to switch from two-plane to a one-plane swing and seen their handicap come down?

I went from 14-13 so hardly a landslide. There is some good stuff involved in a one plane swing but it wasn't something I ever felt completely comfy with.

If you're referring to the One Plane swing advocated by Jim Hardy you should look at the Plane Truth Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/883211211732649/

When I read Hardy's book "The Plane Truth" for the first time it struck a chord & confirmed my thinking on the golf swing & the fact that my swing is decidedly one plane. His latest book, "The Release" is £25 & only available via Amazon from the U.S. People on the Facebook page were raving about it. I was sceptical but eventually took the plunge & bought it. I read half of it & went to the range yesterday with some changes in mind re. the way I release the club. within 3 shots I was hitting the ball much better & there was no sign of the pull with the short irons which plagues me. I found it hard to believe the difference it made & would never have worked this change out for myself.

My advice would be to read "The Plane Truth" if you haven't already then buy "The Release" You can also buy a video download of the latter but I prefer a book to learn from.

Incredible difference with virtually immediate results.

I have that short iron pull. I find it mega weird as I've been a stock fader for the first 9 of 10 years playing.
Weirds me out when I hit it left. Don't know how to intuitively fix it mid round.
Real pain in the arse when I'm going for the flag and find the left hand bunker.
