Questions for one-planers

[daveh]

Hi, I'm reading "Plane Truth for Golfers", but one thing that is hard to get from a book is what the swing "feels" like.

I'm trying to convert to a one plane swing because of inconsistency in my old swing. Currently, I hit one in three drives well with the one-plane. Hard to tell if I'm hitting good drives because of sheer luck or if I'm actually doing something right one in three times.

When I hit well I feel like I have a light grip, passive arms, and that when I rotate my torso, my left pec and left bicep are touching in the beginning of the turn, and that my arms are more or less being flung by the torso rotation. I feel like the role of my arms is simply to direct the club at the ball.

Does this sound about right?

My bad shots are hooks more often than not, and I strongly suspect that I'm not allowing my weight to be transferred forward. Any tips to overcome this?
