Book Reviews of The Plane Truth for Golfers: Breaking Down the One-plane Swing and the Two-Plane Swing and Finding the One That's Right for You
Book Review: A Religious Experience!
Summary: 5 Stars
A struggling 10 handicapper whose swing changes from 1 day to the next....not any more....thankyou Jim Hardy I've seen the light and it was you who showed me the way
Lessons instruction books tips from friends I now realise get you in a mish mash of trying to combine elements of the 1 and 2 plane swing
Jim Hardy explains clearly the fundamentals of each swing there's nothing new for the experienced golfer but the 'secret' is that you recognise which fundamentals apply to each swing Disregard those that do not apply to the swing you have adopted it's as simple as that
And by halving the myriad of swing thoughts one can concentrate more easily on the correct thoughts for the adopted swing!
Thanks Jim and you should increase the price of the book...it's a steal as far as I'm concerned
Book Review: THIS BOOK IS A MUST!
Summary: 4 Stars
I would agree that this book is not for a beginner. I recently saw a pro teach the one plane swing, his pupil was swinging with great effect. Thus, I also booked a lesson. My slice had gone!!! However, I continued to pick up tips from books & videos for further improvement. This left me more confused. With this book, no more - I now know what to work on & what to leave well alone. I would recommend a one plane lesson with a pro, as this will not only reinforce, but make the book easier to understand.
As with others, my critisism is that it lacks some clarity i.e pictures.
Book Review: Ground Breaking Book on the Golf Swing
Summary: 5 Stars
The other reviews here are spot on. This helps take so much confusion out of all the conflicting advice and tips you have ever read or seen on the golf swing and helps you relate what will work with your own swing and what will not. This is for real students of the golf swing, but certainly the best advanced text on it that I have ever read and his explanations made really good sense to me.
I would love it if he could relate his teachings to some more tour pros who often have a mix of one plane and two plane elements in their swing. For example he says that Ben Hogan has an excellent one plane swing, but much of what Hogan teaches in his own book has 2 plane elements eg he is not as bent over at address as Hardy teaches and Hogan also seems to have more weight shift on his back swing than the zero weight transfer advocated by Hardy for that type of swing. It would be nice if he spent some time explaining how to make a hybrid mix work like the pros often seem to do.
Even so I give this 5 stars for the new ideas and concepts presented that really take away an awful lot of confusion for me.
His follow on book also builds well on this one which I suggest you read first.
