The Plane TruthJim Hardy

Jim Hardy's book The Plane Truth for Golfers is an informative, well written book illustrated with good clear photographs.

The principle of Jim Hardy's teaching in this book is there are two types of golf swing - the One Plane Swing and the Two Plane Swing. His belief is that you need to use the right swing for your body and swing type and that in order to do that there are certain key elements that fit well together. However, Jim also points out how mixing elements suited to a one planer in a predominatly two plane swing can cause problems and are the reason for many a demise even within the professional ranks.

The idea is that you should be able to work out which type is right for you and then work on the right key components. The book clearly compares the different options against each other and gives advice on specific points to avoid.

The book ends with a chapter of practice drills to help promote the correct movements for both types of swing.
