1-Plane or 2-Plane?

[unscathed]

I was at the range the other day. As I hit my last ball, a young Asian man and his swing coach took over my hitting mat.

This man's swing was about as close I've ever seen to Tiger's. I ended up watching for a good couple minutes until I was once again inspired to cash in for another medium sized bucket.

His swing coach watch me swing a couple times and told me to put down my club and go into my backswing. He shook his head and told me not to swing my arms, but rotate my left shoulder downwards instead. The balls I ended up hitting we just as straight and I felt that this swing was easier to time as there's really only one BIG moving part as opposed to two.

I discovered that MY swing wasn't "wrong" - it was the two plane swing (arms and elbow go up and down, body does the turning) versus the one plane swing (turn shoulders which move the arms - body and hips are in sync with the shoulder movement).

Which swing do you guys use and which one are you more consistent with?

We just had a lengthy discussion about this. A quick search revealed only

this thread - if there's another one someone can find, please point people to it. Jim Hardy wrote the book on this (literally), so before you ask questions of us that are answered in the book, take a look at it.
