Video Analysis Tutorials - One Plane from Face On

Posted By: Jim Hardy on 3/12/2010

We move back to the One Plane swing for the third installment of our four part series of tutorials on video-based analysis.  In this video, we look at the key elements of the One Plane swing from a face-on view.  While the down-the-line perspective will normally give us 80% of what we need to know when evaluating a golf swing, there are several elements that are best seen in the face-on view.  We dive into those in this video of Scott McCarron.

This is a large file and is about 10 minutes long.  If you are on a slow internet connection, please give the video time to load.

Jim

    • Great video, thanks. From reading the books and watching the videos, I thought the hip move was supposed to be "about 2 inches" to the left, and anything else was just a "giant hip slide" for a one planer. Also thought the spine angle was supposed to remain "fairly stacked" throughout the swing. This hip slide looks HUGE to me, and the spine angle change (tilt from front view) is BIG. I'm confused...

    • Good stuff. Seeing what kind of movement the lead hip goes through was really helpful. Like Steve I was under the false impression that the hips will stay generally within the original hip "box". But if someone truly had a hip slide then I think their spine tilt would be much more dramatic than Scott McCarron is showing. Plus a hip slide would most likely make the shoulders tilt pretty dramatically. Seeing these video analyses has been really helpful. I'm drawing them on my videos and seeing how I'm doing. Not great in comparison but having these markers to use moving forward will be very helpful. Thanks for taking the time, Jim.

    • Great stuff. But like Steve I thought hips where to be more inside the box. When does the hand cuff drill help during the downswing? Video helps alot. Thanks Jim Dick

    • The three video analysis tutorials in blog are not launching e.g when I click on Video Analysis Tutorials One Plane from Face On on the first page of Blog it goes to the next page but the viseo does not launch.

    • I agree with too much hip mavement for a single plane swing.

    • Jim - I note that Scott soles his driver about 3" or 4" behind the ball. Is this just an individual thing or do you recommend this for all

    • Why do some professionals keep a very striaght right arm at the half way point in back swing as opposed to the right arm starting to fold in like a pulling a saw as you describe in the videos on the one plane swing.

    • Jim, I think you are doing a great job. You are very precise with your lines and little movements. I have one little remark. The lines you draw move related to the background. Maybe its better to use a tripod/standard next time you use the camera. keep on doing the great job you are doing. Patrick

    • Jim, I noticed how well Scott retains the lag on the downswing. Any thoughts on how I might avoid throwing it away too early? John

    • can't wait to start studying the teachings of my friends, whom I've met in the past. I'm now 67 and would love to shoot my age. I'm close , but can't finish the job. Hope i can get some help. Thanks Wedgy Winchester
