There’s been a lot of talk recently about planes & ways to swing the club. Jim Hardy, one of the world’s top 10 instructors maintains that there are two distinct ways to swing the club up to the top (One Plane / Two Plane) & two distinct & opposite ways to release it in the hitting area (Right Inside Throw / Left Overhead Pull). This is why so much of the advice offered in Golf Monthly & other publications appears to conflict.
As Jim says “Move your head behind the ball / keep your head still†“Pull down with your left / throw with your right†“Stand tall / bend over†“Slide your hips / turn your hips†“Turn your shoulders at the start of the downswing†/ “Don’t turn your shoulders at the start of the downswingâ€. All these things are right but only for the kind of swing you’ve got & if you don’t know then you’re likely to be confused.
For anyone interested in this unique approach recommended reading is “The Plane Truth†& “The Release†Both books have been a great help to me in understanding how my swing works & to ignore pros who, for the last 40 years, have been trying to get me to swing more steeply.
I can’t recommend the books enough. I have never come across anything like the understanding of the golf swing anywhere else & would not go near another pro who tries to teach me HIS swing.
