It was during the PGA Championship last month that I first saw Alvaro Quiros and got to study his swing. He has a wonderful one-plane swing that certainly dispels the notion that one-plane swings are not powerful. I have long chuckled at the detractors that say the one-plane swing is accurate but not powerful. I do not know what they are looking at when they see Ben Hogan, Sam Snead, Anthony Kim, Hunter Mahan, to name only a few one-planers who are very powerful. I can only hope this “lack of power notion” goes away. I have analyzed his swing for you to point out the various movements of his one-plane swing that not only make him a one-planer, but also make him a powerful one. I apologize for the quality of the video. We obtained the video from internet and the quality is not the best. However it is good enough for our intentions. Hope you find it as interesting as I did. Please note that the file size is rather large so it might take a few seconds to load completely depending on your internet connection.
