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

I don't 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! 😉

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.

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 🙂

    • I don't think anyone will really care.   It's your call.  Just be consistent.
    • I agree, until we are watching the 18th hole in the dark or waiting for the champion to finish and it's been 5+ hours
    • Question for the group. The course I normally play at has 27 holes - 3 9s that they use to for 18 in the various combinations. Is it okay to declare* if I’m playing front or back when I play 9 on this course? I’m figuring I need to declare before I play a shot. *meaning just say to myself that this is the back 9. Curious what people think. Of course, my only holes left are 13 and 17, so I’m going to declare the back 9 for the rest of the year. Probably only one or two more rounds though. 
    • This is my opinion as well. I would love to see the LPGA take the lead on this.    This.
    • I agree in general. The one way in which the viewer will notice the pace of play is just that "it's been an hour and Nelly Korda or Scottie Scheffler have only played four holes." Or if for some reason they show a lot of shots of players just standing around when they could be showing golf shots. But I think Andy Johnson said it most recently/best, playing fast is a skill, too. I would love for pro golfers to play faster. You'd see the players you want to see hit more shots in the same time than they do now. So I don't disagree with the pace of play stuff, and hope they can find ways to do it. Heck, the LPGA should leap at the chance to differentiate itself in this way, IMO. So: I stand by what I said in that the TV viewer really doesn't notice much about pace of play. It's rare when they do. I support increasing the pace of play wholeheartedly. But my top five reasons don't include TV ratings or viewership.
