Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
'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 very 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.

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

Wow! 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. This was causing my ball striking to be very erratic. 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. 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. 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!

This is the golf mechanics info. I have been looking for for years. 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. Has helped my game immensely. As a companion book read "Extraordinary Golf" by Fred Shoemaker.

For over 20 years, I had been confused about the golf swing. After reading this book, for the very first time ever, I feel there is a simple, solid, fundamental swing I can work towards. My handicap's been all over the board- Everywhere from single digits to as high as fourteen. It seemed the more Golf Digest tips I read, the more confused I became, and the more my swing suffered.
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.. are also fundamentals in Hardy's two swings, there are some major differences. 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.
I now learn from Mr. Hardy that that thinking couldn't be more wrong for my swing type. 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. If you buy into the one plane swing theory, you best quit your subscription to the golf rags. They'll most likely contradict Jim's thinking (their own tips often contradict each other.) 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.

This is Jim Hardy's fist book on his revolutionary, but simple approach to the golf swing. I would HIGHLY recommed this book to EVERY golfer, no matter what level. Through much hard work and research, Jim Hardy HAS found the "Rosetta Stone" of the golf swing. His analytical but easy approach is by far the best golf video and book series that I have ever seen. It explains and packages the contradictory golf instructional information that we have all been getting throughout the years. This video series is jam-packed full of instruction; there is no advertising here. I only wish that this was available long ago. This will befit ALL golfers, including my eight year old son. The differences between the one and two plane swings will be the main teaching aid for years to come. The whole DVD set is well organized and through; Jim Hardy has found the answer to many of our problems. Thank you Jim!
