just a suggestion but maybe add a slow motion piece at the end?

if u do that.. set up with ur heel of the clubh on the ball and it will come back and strike the middle.. btw hitting the toe is not clasified as hitting the ball solidly

I’m constantly working on tempo. Use to just “jump on it” and try to hit it long, but that was not helping my handicap. Now I’ve given up 20 yards off the tee and at least 1 club with my irons and am hitting the ball much more solidly. But…why do I hit my shots on the toe 90% of the time?

One plane in my opinion is based more on arm swing and shoulder tilt. The flatter arm swing, then creates the necessity to stay more on your left side as you swing. Stack and tilt “seems” to be based more on creating a steeper body lean that then requires a flatter arm swing. Both are similar. I do not come from a stack and tilt information base, but this is my opinion as I see it. The S and T guys may explain differently.

Jeff, it has been a long year as I have transitioned to one plane. I see the light at end of tunnel…. I have noticed that when I consciously think of turning my left hip hard left on downswing I hit the ball pure. However, I have always had a lateral slide and when then comes in a thin it or worse shank it. Any thoughts on my hip swing thought?

Good question. …
Good question. Address and impact are different with the hands being more neutral at address and more forward at impact. This address position in my swing is a little exagerated due a previous problem i had of whipping the clubhead inside during the takeaway. Since my takaway has been fixed, I have decided to just leave well enough alone. In general though I would prefer to be a little more neutral. Thanks for the question.

I would definitely get a lie angle check. I play my irons about 3 degrees flat.

Thanks Alex,

Actually, if you look closely you can see my weight roll a little to the outside of my foot where the ball of my left foot is slightly off the turf. In my opinion, it’s impossible to hit hard and not have some type roll to the foot. Thanks for you question.

happy new year! I …
happy new year! I found your videos about 3 weeks ago. I was previously swinging inconsistently on 2 planes. I altered my posture and worked on getting the club to be 90 degrees to my spine. Trying the new swing on the course after a bit of practice at the range brought immediately amazing results in my ball striking. My driver trajectory is now much more consistent. Still have much to work on, but the material you have posted gives me clear direction.

Sh#$8ing, is a …
Sh#$8ing, is a result of a) being too flat or b)having poor measurement to the ball. A one-plane motion has a fairly flat arm swing, but make sure the shoulders offset this with a steeper tilt. If this looks ok, practice the “Heel to Toe” drill. Intentionally set the ball off the hosel at address, then feel your arms pinned snug to your body at impact as if to try and make contact off of the toe of the club. This will ensure that your arms are not “running away” from your body at impact.
