If you dont listen to Jim Hardy and are not at least a 10 handi or less you are a dummy. Sorry to be so blunt but the guy has the answer for you. Stop looking at the Golf network and get you a Jim Hardy book and DVD and go out and play the best round of your life. Your Score card will thank you and you can stop buying new equipment every year looking for those extra yards that you think you can buy when the answers only cost about 15 bucks.
Jim Hardy has rescued my waning interest in golf. I realized that a lot of the things I had been taught previously did not apply to the one plane swing, and are in fact harmful. I had been chronically struggling with blocking the ball to the right, and was unable to fix this despite multiple lessons with the local pro. After my third lesson, the pro suggested that I pick up a copy of this book, with special attention to the "one plane swing." The book can be easily read in an afternoon, and within 2 weeks I was hitting the ball straight and crisp. My scores improved from a 112 to 92 in just two short weeks. I highly recommend this book.
I have read /seen Jim Hardy's first book and his videos. This book ties it all together. I highly recomend it
And he has had to work hard to make sure they match. The key piece of information in this book and its predecessor is that there are two different types of swings. This book shows how to recognize your propensity for one and make sure you have matching parts. Tiger's new swing, for example, is best described as a hybrid between one and two planar swings. That said, Jim Hardy has at least highlighted how to recognize whether your backswing and throughswing match. Identifying your own preferred swing plane will make it much easier to pick which tip you should pay attention to and which you should ignore as you look at other golf instructions.
Followers of stack and tilt might first see that as a two plane swing, but look carefully -- the stack and tilt takes away any lateral movement and is really a one-plane swing done in a way that is dramatically different from what is described in this book.The golf swing is one of the great unsolvable mysteries of mankind. Most pull hooks and slices -- problems most non-pros face -- are caused in no small part by backswing and throughswing that don't match. Everyone rembers the era of pushes and pulls after moving to Hank Haney. The first book is more analytical (if that's how you think) this one has more drills and visuals and easier to follow for those who prefer to understand by doing rather than reading.The key really is matching the back and through swings. And this book does not go far enough by focusing only on the two extremes. This book or its predecessor will show you a path to recognition but there are more answers than can ever be covered by a book.
That is a valuable start for a lifelong quest.
This book is better than the first book. In fact, you could easily skip the first book, The Plane Truth, and get all the information by just reading this book.
