The Plane Truth for Golfers
"Jim Hardy is the most knowledgeable teacher in golf. This extraordinary book will be the most revolutionary instructional book since Ben Hogan's Five Lessons."
--Peter Jacobsen, Seven-time PGA Tour event winner Voted one of "America's 50 Greatest Teachers" by Golf Digest and ranked in the "Top 100 Teachers" list of Golf magazine, Jim Hardy is a veritable scholar of swing. He's been fixing the swings of professional and amateur golfers since 1977, and in The Plane Truth for Golfers, he makes his groundbreaking concepts available to you for the first time. Hardy's revolutionary approach is simple: There are two sets of fundamentals to the swing, not one. There is the one-plane swing, for more athletic players, and the two-plane swing, suitable for players of all abilities. Understanding these concepts is crucial to your improvement, and Hardy breaks them down into easy-to-follow steps, complete with dozens of photographs.

The Plane Truth for Golfers Reviews
This book is the first book detailing Jim Hardy's one plane swing. This book is rather basic and covers the fundamentals including grip, stance, and posture. It can easily be read in an afternoon, and discusses the fundamental differences between the one plane and two plane swings. I would strongly recommend looking into the second book in this series (Master Class) as it goes into more detail and has a whole chapter on drills.
Whether you are a novice or an accomplished player, this book gives an excellent perspective on the golf swing. Of particular value is the simplification of the swing into 2 types with specific associated fundamentals that apply to each type. WJWeeks
Hardy, my handicap has gone from an 8 to a 5 (I still can't putt) and I am striking the ball more solidly than I ever have in the 49 years I have been playing the game. Wow. If you are serious about improving your golf game and are willing to utilize the information and drills in this book, you will not be disappointed. After reading Jim Hardy's The Plane Truth for Golfers I immediately realized that I was mixing fundamentals for the one plane swing and the two plane swing. After practicing the drills set forth in the book for my style of swing (one plane), I began striking the ball much more consistently and more shots were on target. After about 6 months of utilizing the information from Mr. This was causing my ball striking to be very erratic.
I have been looking for for years. Has helped my game immensely. Breaks down the "mystery" of the golf swing into two simple sets of mechanics so that you can try both and choose the one that is more natural for you. This is the golf mechanics info. As a companion book read "Extraordinary Golf" by Fred Shoemaker.
It seemed the more Golf Digest tips I read, the more confused I became, and the more my swing suffered. My handicap's been all over the board- Everywhere from single digits to as high as fourteen. I now learn from Mr. After reading this book, for the first time ever, I feel there is a simple, solid, fundamental swing I can work towards. Hardy that that thinking couldn't be more wrong for my swing type.
If you buy into the one plane swing theory, you best quit your subscription to the golf rags.
While most of the fundamentals you learned growing up- steady head, weight on inner right foot, consistent spine angle, chin up, good tempo, balance etc. With the set-up for the one plane swing, he actually suggests what amounts to coming much much more inside on the backswing- I've tried it and it works.
I've battled with getting 'stuck inside' and pushing/hooking since I was 16. Absolutely every part of my common sense and intuition, not to mention almost every teacher, book, and magazine tip, would tell me my takeaway was too inside and to overcorrect by getting outside early on (or at the very least on the target path) on my backswing and downswing.
are also fundamentals in Hardy's two swings, there are some major differences. While I haven't looked as deeply into his two plane thinking, it's clear he has debunked a lot of swing myths, contradictions and confusion for that swing type as well.
They'll most likely contradict Jim's thinking (their own tips often contradict each other). For over 20 years, I had been confused about the golf swing.
