Why is the
Single Plane
Swing better?
Many great golfers have used a
conventional swing…
But many more have ruined their
back and their golf games using it!
The Single Plane Swing Swing helps you play better golf hitting beautiful, consistent, powerful shots, with none of the conventional swing back problems.
To simplify the golf swing you must make the moment of Impact easier. The Single Plane Swing does this with More space from the ball, less rotation, less body movement and less stress on the body.
Here are the key differences…
Club
Angle
at
Address
Club Angle at Address
Single Plane Swing
Club starts at the mid-spine plane of impact. You start at the same angle as impact.
Conventional Swing
Club starts at a low angle, intersecting the hips rather than the mid-back. Lower than the impact plane.
Tilt of Body
Single Plane Swing
The tilt of the body starts at address similar to the tilt of the body at impact meaning less movement from the start to finish.
Conventional Swing
The lead hand is
hinged with an angle
between the hand
and wrist. The trail
hand is rotated on top
of the golf grip.
TILT
OF
BODY
Arms
Single Plane Swing
Lead arm and trail arm are aligned with the club. The trail arm alignment is the same plane as the club shaft impact
Conventional Swing
Arms hang straight down, on a different plane from the club– hence “Two Plane”
Hands/Grip
Single Plane Swing
The lead hand is in a neutral and released position (ulnar deviated) where the back of the hand is parallel to the clubface. The trail hand is placed in a non-rotational position–similar to skipping a rock.
Conventional Swing
The lead hand is hinged with an angle between the hand and wrist. The trail hand is rotated on top of the golf grip.
Hands/Grip
Hands/Grip
FEET
Single Plane Swing
Feet apart for stability and farther away from the ball–provides room for the ideal high and natural impact plane
Conventional Swing
Feet close together and unnaturally close to the ball–means less stability and leaves little room for the higher impact plane for the club
Backswing
Single Plane Swing
Arms and clubs move naturally to the inside onto the Single Plane.
Conventional Swing
Club starts at a lower angle and lifts to a higher plane.
Lower
Body
Movement
Lower Body Movement
Single Plane Swing
The lower body moves into a flexed
lead knee, reducing stress from the
lower back.
Conventional Swing
Moves into a straight
lead knee, causing
compression into the
hips and lower back.
Shaft
Angle
of Impact
Shaft Angle of Impact
Single Plane Swing
Club impacts on the same mid-spine plane. This is the same as at address, meaning less shaft lift into impact, meaning less compression on the back and spine.
Conventional Swing
The lead hand is hinged with an angle between the hand and wrist. The trail hand is rotated on top of the golf grip.
Body Position at Impact
Single Plane Swing
The lead knee remains flexed and trail foot stays on
the ground through impact. This reduces body lift
into impact, which means less upward movement
and stress into the lower back. This makes the Single
Plane Swing easy on your back!
Conventional Swing
The lead leg straightens and body and
trail hip lift and rotate up. As the upper
body and shoulders rotate down, the
whole body leans back. This is an
unnatural, awkward, and stressful
position for your back. No wonder so
many golfers have back pain!

Single Plane Swing
The lead knee remains flexed and the trail foot on the ground, stabilizing the lower body keeping stress off the lower back. The extension of the club returns to the Single Plane.

The lead knee
straightens and trail foot lifts, placing stress on the back as the body turns.
