Todd Graves breaks down the controversy between a traditional two-plane setup and a single-plane setup. He demonstrates how hanging the arms straight down forces mid-swing compensations like lifting and jumping at impact. By aligning the hands and club on a single plane at address, golfers can start and return to the exact same impact plane effortlessly.
A traditional two-plane setup hangs arms below shoulders, requiring compensations as the club aligns on a higher plane at impact.
Setting up on two planes often leads to lifting the torso or jumping away from the ball mid-swing.
Raising the hands at address aligns the club shaft with the lead arm on a single plane.
Starting at address on the same plane as impact simplifies the motion and leads to more repeatable shots.
