Tough to vote as many people will have slightly varying definitions.

So, There is the poll "Which swing plane you use?". Then if you dont know the answer to the main topic question then just say, "I dont know."

Monday, Wednesday, Friday on odd numbered months I use single plane. On the remaining it’s two plane. If the barometric pressure drops more than 10mm/Hg this reverses. If I shank my first approach shot it’s triple plane for the rest of the day. Unless the wind is 10mph or less. But then I switch to a four layer ball, except on Tuesdays.

Two plane... though some days it feels like three or four planes going on.

I tried the Natural Golf/Single Plane thing years ago, and it just wasn't right for me.

Same, except on Friday the 13th when I try to swing with no plane at all!!!

My swing is four-dimensional.

Overthinking it much?! Heh, heh, heh! 😉

Glad to see you included the time parameter!

I believe the one plane swing produces a more consistent strike, but I lack the flexibility and strength that it requires. On good days it’s two planes, bad days a few more ...

I tried to convert to a one plane swing, but found it too difficult to hit mid and long irons consistently well. I went back to a two plane swing, and have put in the time to practice to make progress. Admittedly, I didn't practice enough my first go around with a two plane swing. Taking a 6-year hiatus from golf provided me the clarity to realize I had to change my entire mindset regarding golf.

I don't think it matters which swing plane a golfer uses, as long as what ever plane they are using gets them to a proper impact position. 

Myself, I have a decent impact position with the ball. I have no idea what swing plane I am using. Don't really care either. 

If the poll would have had a choice of "doesn't matter" that's what my vote would have been.

I am unclear as to the difference between the two...or if there are two.  Watching videos, of myself and others, would seem to indicate that a good swing has a bit of leeway regarding the shaft plane.  That every good swing is not exactly the same as every other good swing does not, to me, mean they are different swings.

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

Are you trolling or are you serious with these polls? I am asking a genuine question. You might find that people choose to ignore your polls and your seemingly aggressive instructions when you word them poorly. Just sayin'.

Why would I start a poll for no reason?

I couldn't make this clean and straight ball flight with double swing plane.

IT IS my FIRST day at range right after I change the MAIN CONCEPT of swing thought of Moe Norman's swing. And sure....it have much more space for improvement.

I didn't said which one is better than another, just pick swing that put smile on your face 🙂

    • Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…
    • Please forgive the sweaty shirt.  Just got off the treadmill and decided to do my Evolvr drill.  
    • I'd agree that 4w seems like the right play here. I'm not a course designer or anything but that hole looks like it could be so much more fun if everyone played from those front 2 tee boxes that are right outside your shot cone and they cut down most of the trees down that left side of the fairway. That would give risk reward to long hitters who want to try and push it up to that left fairway, allow more players to reach that second fairway, and still allowing it to be perfectly playable for someone who only hits driver like 150yds off the tee.   Yeah it looks like 4iron aimed at that inside edge of the right bunker is the play there, especially if you don't expect a 20mph tailwind again. If it is down wind again, 5iron would be just fine too, it'd still get you inside 150yds for your approach.  Keep in mind tee marker locations too, you measured that one from the back so if those tee markers are moved all the way towards the front of that box then 5 iron is probably best just to be sure that right bunker is never in play. 
    • Day 1: worked on my drill for my arms.
    • Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.
