Did Ben Hogan have a 1 plane swing? - Page 2

That could pass for Monty from the neck up.

But Monty never got that skinny - and he's never been that flat.

Yeah, Monty's closer to the Squared Shoulder Plane too.

Does this picture show that he didn't have a one plane swing? If it was on one plane, wouldn't the path be the same on the takeaway as well as the downswing?
Thanks,

No. You wouldn't be able to determine that from a face-on view. Rarely in a good/powerful player will you see a clubhead path that, from the face-on view, retraces itself, even in one-plane swingers.

Generally speaking, the clubhead is going to come down inside the path traced on the backswing.

The defintion of a one or two plane swing has nothing to do with the club or the swing plane itself. It's a very common misconception. The planes in the name are determined by the plane the arms swing on and the plane the body turns on. One plane swings will generally have the arms swing in about the same plane as the body turns and a two plane swing has the arms swinging in a different plane than the body turns.

that's an important point, ggsjpc

Why we don't talk about other "methods" as much as we used to?

Well, because, no matter how well I debunk the usually easy to debunk theories, it act as advertising for the debunked.

Get it?

I like the Hogan pic and will talk about it in another thread.
