Excellent site for instruction! (For One Planers)

Since I've started reading about the One Plane swing I've been fascinated with it and I just stumbled onto an excellent site.

http://www.oneplanegolfswing.com is LOADED with great information. In fact, somebody had video of Tiger swinging at Hank Haney's ranch and they analyzed it and its excellent. Here is a link to it:

I didn't realize how important it was to fan the club open (pronation of the forums) so early in the swing to keep it on plane. Jim Hardy talks about rotating the forums in the backswing but he never emphasized how early you need to do it. It is absolutely necessary in order to keep the swing on plane with the shaft angle at address.

Check it out!

Actually, in his seminars Hardy really emphasizes keeping the face looking at the ball for a pretty long time so as to keep it square to the plane. However, he also says he doesnt really care where the face is looking at the top of the swing.

Dminn23,

oneplanegolfswing.com isn't a very good website at all. It's run by Chuck Quinton who basically tried to piggy back on Jim Hardy's publicity for free. In my opinion, Quinton's a sleazy character who thinks it's okay to leach off the hard work of others. Quinton does not actually agree with Hardy on some of the most important aspects of the one plane golf swing. One great example is the rotation of the forearms. In the Hardy one plane golf swing, if you fan open the club immediately you will lose the connection between your left arm and pec (the only thing he left arm MUST do) and will lose proper contact. Bad news. Hardy wants the arms to take the club back, and once the club is parallel to the ground, the forearms rotate and then you finish your shoulder turn. There are swing coaches who advocate fanning the golf club open immediately on the backswing, namely Hank Haney, but that is a one plane swing based around the shaft plane, and not shoulder and club plane. The most important issue is the release of the golf club, which involves keeping the right elbow up and behind and getting the right palm down while turning as hard as you can with your torso. This is the key that all true one plane golf swings have. Quinton makes no mention of this on his website. If Quinton's theories have worked for you, great, but please don't confuse them with the true One Plane swing theories pioneered by Jim Hardy. If you want real info about the true one plane golf swing, I would visit Jim Hardy's forums. They are free to read and register and many great instructors post there such as Carol Mann and Mike Labauve post there. Another thing you won't find on Chuck Quinton's website. http://www.jimhardygolf.com/default.aspx
