stuart appleby downswing plane????

i am a 13.9 handicap, i tend to come across it sometimes.

when you are swinging the club to the top of the swing, on the downswing should you try to retrace the line that you swung the club back on, for example if you there is a circle drawn on the plane should you swing up this circle then back down on the same line????

Man one plane up and down would be incredible, if it fits you and is repeatable. . . so many winning swings out there that look so different.

article on one plane and two plane swings: http://www.worldgolf.com/golf-instru...-tips-4612.htm Also, there is a GREAT article on golfdigest.com about how Jack's swing changed through the years. More evidence that not only are there different kinds of winning swings, winners CHANGE their winning swing and win MORE! (Tiger, Jack, who else?) Sheesh!

thanks for the reply, i didnt mean a one or two plane swing, i just meant whether the club should be swung down on the same plane like stuart does here.

it's proportion to your height and club you're using... your psture may require a more up right swing, which in turn may cause a more steep angle of attack rather than a swoop or flat swing. What matters is at point of impact, is your club head square!

I've seen very few people who could be considered true one planers. An example of a 'true' one planer is Ben Hogan who basically retraced his backswing/downswing shaft plane. Most modern swings end up parallel to this shaft plane at the top and then drop back down on the shaft plane later on in the swing, http://www.youtube.com/user/golflessonacademy

You need to work out what works for you though. If you go to a 'true' one plane swing directional control may become more of an issue as well as (a lack of) height.
