What is a two plane swing?

The two-plane swing is steeper and characterized by the lead arm swinging up to be more upright than the shoulders at the top of the swing. The set-up for a two plane swing has less spine angle with the golfer generally bent over around 20 degrees with slightly more weight on their back foot.

What move starts the transition in the downswing in golf?

The correct golf downswing sequence starts with a pressure shift to the lead leg, followed by an externally rotated trail arm to shallow the angle of the club, before rotating the torso through to impact.

Does swing plane change with each club?

Instead, because every golf club is different lengths (unless you subscribe to the single-length club theory like Bryson DeChambeau) you’ll be forced to swing on a slightly different plane. Ideally, a player’s swing plane will be very similar to their club’s lie angle as well.

How do you get smooth transitions in golf?

Move into a backswing, and as the hands get to chest height, step forward, start to move towards the target and then swing through. This will help to join the moveaway to the downswing and create that smooth, complete swing that you’re looking for.

What should move first in a golf swing?

To start the swing, it’s important to remember to use your “big” muscles at first, instead of the “small” muscles. This means that the first movement is with the shoulders and arms, not the wrists. The shoulders and arms draw the club directly back along the target line until the hands reach waist-high.

Should my golf swing be the same for every club?

A lot of people think woods and irons each require a unique swing. They wind up making unnecessary adjustments, confusing themselves, and complicating their swing technique. The truth is, the best golf swing for drivers and irons is essentially the same.

Who uses single plane swing?

beginner golfers
The single plane swing is used by tons of beginner golfers because it is much easier to learn than the two plane swing. Many golfers who are just starting to learn the game will be more comfortable with the single plane swing.
