The Plane Truth for Golfers: Breaking Down the One-plane Swing and the Two-Plane Swing and Finding the One That's Right for You

by Jim Hardy

"Jim Hardy is the most knowledgeable teacher in golf. This extraordinary book will be the most revolutionary instructional book since Ben Hogan's Five Lessons ."
--Peter Jacobsen, Seven-time PGA Tour event winner Voted one of "America's 50 Greatest Teachers" by Golf Digest and ranked in the "Top 100 Teachers" list of Golf magazine, Jim Hardy is a veritable scholar of swing. He's been fixing the swings of professional and amateur golfers since 1977, and in The Plane Truth for Golfers , he makes his groundbreaking concepts available to you for the first time. Hardy's revolutionary approach is simple: There are two sets of fundamentals to the swing, not one. There is the one-plane swing, for more athletic players, and the two-plane swing, suitable for players of all abilities. Understanding these concepts is crucial to your improvement, and Hardy breaks them down into easy-to-follow steps, complete with dozens of photographs.

[Luke Rowe]

Helpful book as a beginner with some key pointers, my swing definitely improved after reading. The language explaining the swing mechanics and drills can be hard to understand at times, especially those without pictures.

[Peter McCoy]

Confusion cleared up somewhat

Interesting to read the reasoning behind the moves.Usually you are told what to do without any explanation.It is up to you to consider whether the reasons make sense

[Michael Smithson]

Interesting theory on the golf swing

[Michael]

I read this book last year as I was learning how to play the game again. I hadn't played since I was about 17 years old and at the time I was encouraged to leave the game because I was "too big" in the shoulders and chest and too athletic to hold off my swing. Oh my, how my world could have been drastically different had I been introduced to someone with a one plane swing mentality.

Hardy's revolutionary book introduces the world to two distinct theories of the golf swing, one plane and two plane. I cannot overstate how huge this change in thought is to the world of golf instruction. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to play, has thought about playing, or knows someone who plays.

No wonder some pros say one thing and some say the opposite:they are teaching different swings. A must read for golfers just to find out which swing you are using and how to improve it
