We can talk about the concept of swing plane until everybody is thoroughly confused, but in reality, how a "one-plane" or "two-plane" swing applies to your game is simple.
There are two basic ways to swing a golf club: One-planers move the club on the same plane as the shoulders (white shirt), and two-planers move the club on a plane that's more upright than the shoulders (yellow shirt). Neither way is wrong; each has been used to win multiple majors.
However, the fundamentals of these swings are very different, and mixing and matching them is where most players get lost. I'll show you how to identify which swing you have, and how to make it work better for you.
