As a playing professional and teaching professional I have made it my goal in life to understand and execute the golf swing to the best of my abilities. I read Hardy's book about 6 months ago and continue to think about his 2-plane theory. Initially, you will be stunned at how beautifully simple his theory and explanation are (even if it is ridiculously redundant). The reader must be warned however, that beauty and simplicity do not necessarily mean correctness. If Hardy was correct, then why are there no golfers on tour actually swing the way he proposes. The true one-plane swing he proposes focuses on connection between the left arm and the shoulder plane from the top of the swing until impact. This necessitates an absurdly steep shoulder swing and it also means that the shoulders of the golfer would have to be at lest 50 degrees open at impact like he exhibits in the picture. Take a look at Peter Jacobson's (his star pupil) shoulders at impact. The left shoulder is high but its also pretty much square to the target meaning the left arm cannot be connected to the shoulder plane. For me, this foiled his entire theory right there. No one good swings the club this way because it is next to impossible to generate sufficient power or return the club to the shaft plane (you'll probably be over the top and toe-deep). I see the value of the connection and the importance of using big muscles but beyond that this book is simply propaganda meant to find a niche for amateur golfers that get excited thinking about swing theory. It has great marketing value due to its simplicity and the buzzword nature of swing plane. Unfortunately, it has little practical value because the best golfers in the world scoff at it. Tiger wants to swing like Hogan, not Hardy. Today's best players take the connection of the one plane approach and the lag/energy transference from the two plane approach and mold them together. It's always been this way and always will be this way. If you want to learn about the golf swing read some Hogan or Kelly. And whatever you do stay away from that ugly step sister the two plane swing. You'll hook the snot out of it and only gain a few yards in the process. |

If you are already a golfer, this is the best golf book ever written! It cuts through all the information out there, and lets you focus on what is right for you. I am a "two plane" swinger, I gave the book to my playing partner, who is a "one plane" swinger. He says its the best golf book he has ever seen. I look at all the information in the golf magazines, and I can immediately tell what is right for me, and what to ignore, and I am ten times more confident every time I tee it up. I have bought four copies for friends, and am loaning my copy to another friend tomorrow. If I ever meet Mr. Hardy, no I won't kiss him, but I will buy him the best bottle of wine I can find, and shake his hand about one thousand times! |
