One Plane Golf Swing Versus A Two Plane Golf Swing?

By Steve Busche

Your golf swing is no doubt important and closely connected to your golf game, as such you will sometimes hear people comparing and talking about a one plane swing versus and two plane swing. Generally, it simply refers to your circular and arc movement in your golf swing whenever you are performing a swing.

The difference between one swing plane and two swing plane?

Simply put, you are either in on a one plane or the other; very rarely you'll find a crossover between the two, however you can find hundreds of variations of golf swing exhibiting traits from either one of them. Sounds confusing? It can be for most people, just remember this, if you use a swing varied from a one plane on a two plane shot, you'll most likely struggle with your swing.

How do you set them apart?

One of the major separators between the two of them is your how your arms and your shoulders behave during a swing sequence. The difference can be easily spotted during your setup, back swing, transition, and with your down swing. With the one plane golf swing, the main thing you'll find and notice is how your shoulders and arms are not disconnected during any of the steps above. Whereby for a two plane swing; your arms and shoulder movement will feel slightly disconnected and separated from your body movement. This means more loose part when you swing and generally easier to lose control.

You can also tell the two apart during the transition period of a golf swing. During a one plane swing, you will rarely see the clubs being raised above the golfer's head, and as such the golfer do not need as much power to force the club down to the ball. This can be a problem for a two swing golf plane because many people will lose their body alignment when performing the down swing. Two plane swing can also sometimes feel more powerful to the user because they are forcing the club down, where in reality the it is not necessarily the case because a well struck one plane swing can be as powerful, not to mention accurate than a two swing one.
