so this past friday, i got to see jim hardy teach (at oak hill) for about 2 1/2 hours. for those of you that know, he's the "one plane" swing guy. VERY interesting stuff. definitely a different way of thinking and approaching the swing.
great stuff.

I don’t know if the block on that last one was due to low trajectory or if the guys up front didn’t hold their ground well enough. I’m not convinced it matters. We have every reason to believe the ball could have gone through the uprights and the refs would have signaled first down Oregon. - D.E.
I love listening to him.
I have the dvd. His stuff seems VERY correct. It works for me anyway.
I'd love to hear your thoughts....feel free to peem me or e-mail.
I taste terrific.
Hey Fad, I took your free swing advice and coupled that with stuff I've read online and I think I have improved my swing slightly.
I'm taking a golf class next semester here at Baylor, so hopefully I'll improve some more after that.
learn your own swing dude, seriously.
Being able to know what your faults are is huge and will allow you to make corrections on your own in between lessons.

My swing is just absolutely atrocious. I played a lot of golf in middle school but quit until relatively recently. In MS my swing wasn't nearly as bad as it is now.Originally Posted by OU4LIFE
It's the slice...I have to practically face 90 degrees to the left when I swing in order for the ball to go somewhat straight down the fairway.
a bad slice can be fixed pretty quickly given a little effort and patience.

Just call it a power fade and act like you mean to do it.
power fades generally go farther than 180, Squeek.

really great stuff. i was talking with my boss about his stuff. my take on it, is that it's a very difficult swing (single plane) to learn - especially if you are just taking up the game. but once you get the principle behind it, it's very efficient and "trustworthy". but i don't think it's for everyone. the trick as a teacher, that i'll face" is not to try to push someone in that direction if they don't belong there. hardy was good at doing this.
what's interesting to me is that this "swing theory" is very counter-intuitive. the idea of an over-the-top move (while swinging left) and finishing with your weight on the heals, makes the ball go straight, is a complicated swing/movement thought. that's why i think it's difficult to learn - especially if you grew up in the 2-plane era (which most of us have).

Exactly. Has been working for me for years, except when I pull out the one duck hook per round. Then I act like I was trying to "work" the ball, and just overdid it a tad.
Not mine, Hairy.
Oh yeah, you overcooked that one.
I'm a one-planer naturally though, due to my body shape. So it's been fairly easy for me to simply eliminate the majority of the 2-plane stuff.
From what I've gleaned from the DVD is he talks of 'feels' more than actual movements. In what I have experienced so far, all of the teachings are extremes in order to get the 'feel'. If that makes any sense.
I taste terrific.
planes, teachings
this thread has a Zen like feel to it.
First of all, your swing prolly wasn't that great in MS. People just have selective memory. This works with women as well, btw.
Try this. Before you hit a ball, take a practice swing standing over the ball like you would normally, just be sure to miss on the practice swing by lifting the club up at the right moment. Then take a regular swing at the ball. I'll bet 20 bucks you hit it more straight nine times out of ten.
SoonerinabileneOh sweet jesus. Its like watching the special olympics in high definition on here now.
A lot of people say my swing reminds them of Tiger Woods. With a little Phil Mickelson mixed in on my short game. And Ben Hogan.
Why do you hate Jack Nicklaus?
He just can't hang, that's all.
Hogan was a one-planer.
jus sayin.
I taste terrific.
Sounds like we need to start a soonerfans golf group. I went out a few weeks ago for the first time in 6 or 7 months and shot 60 on the front 9 and 52 on the back 9. I wasn't too upset cause it had been so long since I've played. But I'd like to get below 100 again. My best score last summer was a 95.
