Hi guys, it's Aimee, your golf teacher!
Today I'm going to do a quarantine golf tip.
Sit! Good boy.
Okay!
Today do a one plane swing and two plane swing as requested.
To aimeefy it all, one plane swing looks more like a flatter swing.
If you are taking it back, your shoulder angle and your arm angle matches.
That's one plane whereas two plane is you take it back
and you have a slight more upright swing.
So your shoulders versus your arm is criss crossing like this.
There is always no one answer to which way you should swing.
There's pros and cons.
If you have that physical ability you're strong in your core
you're able to get really low with the back swing,
then one please thing is great for you.
Pro is it gives you a great coil in the back swing
and it's compact it'll give you consistent swing rhythm and speed and power.
And all the way down you can like turn your hips to really create a lot of torque.
That's a pro. A lot of people used to say that the one plane swing was more
for shorter hitting players but not exactly that case nowadays.
Cons, however, for the one plane swing is take me for example,
I've had several injuries in the backswing if I coil really well on the left shoulder
super low and it's a tight coil, my back is not able to take it.
So I often get out of the angle. It causes me inconsistency in my shots
which is no good and also in the downswing you're supposed to
turn your head really fast but my back does not allow me to
do a various movement like that.
So if you don't have strong core glutes, you will find inconsistent shots.
Back in the day, when I was in high school,
I was working with David Ledbetter and so obviously I was learning the very
compact kind of a swing. And I used to struggle with short distance.
And David actually we sat down and we talked about it.
At the time, the trend was that in Korea junior girls were hitting it all long ways
anywhere between 265 to 270 ish and that was super long back then,
especially if you're in high school, you're 5'5" tall, and you're scrawny,
and you're hitting it that long that was a big deal.
David suggested, you know I teach you the same swing I teach the 6' 4"
I don't know like 190 to 200 lbs. Maybe you should probably
try what the Korean girls are doing that they're so successful at.
So ever since I've really gotten my hands to go from like here to a little bit higher.
Pros is a little bit shallower shoulder plane and high hands,
it's gonna create a lot of velocity a lot of speed on the way down.
Cons would be because you're up here, if you kind of come down
the same way you went up with the rotation,
you're most likely you go over the top which causes left or right shots.
So here it's natural that it makes your hands kind of drop in a little bit loop
a little bit. The thing with this is if you loop a little bit too much and release,
it'll hook. If you loop and you don't release, it might block.
So there's that inconsistency with the looping on the way down.
So you guys follow right.
There's pros and cons guys. Not one way is always correct.
For you to choose which way you want to do, you have to think of these 3 things.
Number 1, what's your swing philosophy? What your beliefs?
Which players swing do you like? What do you want to look like when you're
swinging? What kind of ball flight would you like to produce?
And number 2 is your physical ability. How strong are you?
How flexible are you? If you don't have the flexibility you will not be able to get that
left shoulder very low. And if you're not strong in your core or in your back
or your glutes, then you probably won't be able to fire your hips through as needed
in the one plane swing.
Number 3 is if you have a coach, what three beliefs does your coach have,
like for example, you want to swing with one plane swing but your swing coach
really believes in two plane swing that she or he is always going to teach you
the way they know. So these three things are equally important.
Everybody's golf swings are unique because of their physical ability
athletic ability. When I'm usually hands-on online or offline lessons,
I usually get them to do certain movements.
If they're producing a ball flight we don't want, that we tweak it a little bit.
And then I see how their body reacts and then we go from there.
So we talked briefly about the one plane swing and two plane swings.
I hope this helped you clarify things.
If you have more questions let me know we'll talk about it more.
I hope you guys stay safe and stay healthy.
Thank you for watching guys. I'll see in the next video.
Say bye poki!
