Golfers the world over have tried for many years to swing a golf club on a single plane. The concept is a more efficient and reliable way of swinging than the conventional two-plane movement, which involves two distinct hinge points. There are plenty of myths, and misunderstandings on this topic that I wanted to address in the video above based on my over 25 years teaching this concept. It is also my experience that many concepts taught can be very harmful to people trying to learn the concept. In the video below I will debunk ten of the most common myths regarding swinging a golf club on a single plane. For more of my free videos visit This link about setting up and swinging on one single plane.
Myth #1: you need a wide stance
Myth #2: you need to stand a certain distance from the ball
Myth #3: you need to hold the club exactly like Moe
Myth #4: you need a palm grip
Myth #5: you need to take the club back inside and under the swing plane.
Myth #6: you need to limit the length of your backswing
Myth #7: you need to keep the trailing foot flat through impact
Myth #8: you need to keep your leading knee bent through impact
Myth #9: you need to practice a bunch of positions in order to master the swing
Myth #10: you need to use special golf clubs to swing on a single plane
There you have it – ten myths debunked! Swinging on a single plane can be amazing when done correctly, but it will not help you if you follow the wrong instructional concepts. Using common sense can be very helpful. While it can seem like a good idea to copy someones swing who was good, or even great at hitting a golf ball, you must consider that no person has ever mastered another person’s golf swing. If they had mastered the swing then they would be playing on tour and/or putting on exhibitions in front of thousands of people.
My simple solution is to learn to setup on your impact plane, and then work on making impact perfect. I coach online using a free app where I guide you into customizing your own swing to make hitting great shots easier. I work with what you have coming in with the goal of improving as quickly as possible.
