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 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. Review: The ONLY Golf swing Bible left standing - All golf instruction no matter how contradictory will make perfect sense when viewed from Hardy's work. It may not be a fit for your swing but you will know that and why that is the case. The only Golf Bible left standing is The Plane Truth for Golfers by Jim Hardy. The rest are just contributors to Hardy's prescription for the 2 golf swings. (the one plane and the Two plane) Sorry Ben Hogan you have been dethroned. I have read books that say the exact opposite to never do this or that or vs vs do this or that. I have also found for me that some times doing exactly what a certain teacher says to never do is exactly what works best for me. But thanks to Hardy's work I am not the slightest bit confused by any of this instruction or contradiction. If you want to actually solve your quest to figure out what swing works for you then get this book. It is not just another same old same old. It is the real Golf swing Bible. All golf instruction no matter how contradictory will make perfect sense when viewed from Hardy's work. Big picture update: Golf instructors mean well but harm students. This is a powerful concept to grasp! This was said during the seminar: Body Swing Connection - Titleist Performance Institute @ 2011 PGA Show, by TPI co-founders Dr. Greg Rose and Dave Phillips. (see YouTube video - very worthwhile viewing) There are three books that form a rather complete package for someone trying to finally achieve a repeating swing and stop screwing it up. #1 The Golf Swing Bible since 2006 = The Plane Truth For Golfers by Jim Hardy. There are 2 books that present the information in 2 different fashions and/or DVD set (Library like I did) I like best The Plane Truth for Golfers Master Class: Advanced Lessons for Improving Swing Technique and Ball Control for the One- and Two-Plane Swings Get all three as this work is the new Golf swing BIBLE - PERIOD! Sorry Ben Hogan. Ben Hogan's the 5 lessons is great for a one plane swinger but will screw up a two plane swinger. The work by Jim Hardy can and will once and for all help you/stop you from screwing up your swing by realizing that there are 2 different swings with 2 movement prescriptions. #2 The supplement to the Hardy "Bible" expands and illustrates and reveals major components and nuances = Your Perfect Swing by Jim Suttie He reveals power sources. Turners, coilers, rotators, sliders, high swings, low swings, late releasers, early releasers, open or shut face releasers etc. Very valuable compliment to Hardy's work. #3 How to Learn Golf by Harry Hurt, He teaches you about all those who are teaching you how to swing. What methods they are advocating and what categories all that instruction falls into. A very valuable resource for trying to sort out the instruction that appears everywhere. In the end you can focus on what you want and avoid what is not for you. Outstanding book for a golfer set on improvement and trying to make heads or tails out of all the swing advice confusion. He took lessons from the worlds best at very high cost. But the book can also apply to books, TV and magazine "lessons" From page 24: "No matter which approach you choose, you need to know where your instructors are coming from, which of the major methods they advocate, and the advantages and disadvantages of each. Otherwise you are likely to find yourself bouncing from one pro to another, perpetually trapped in a state of confusion and frustration as you are inundated with conflicting advice and diametrically opposite swing thoughts. No one knows better that I do after taking lessons from twenty-one teaching pros in twenty-four months. Instead of suffering the pain and confusion of running a similar instructional gauntlet, you can simply read this book." Another helpful book is Lowdown From the Lesson Tee : Correcting 40 of Golf's Most Misunderstood Teaching Tips by David Glenz Review: Wonderful - This is an excellent book. Like many of the reviewers, I have been frustrated over the years by the contradictory recommendations of the various teachers, teaching methods and authors. Nicklaus and Hogan say keep the ball in the same position off your left instep for all clubs. Harvey Penick, Tommy Armour (and Jim Hardy) say move it back as you go from driver to the short irons. Byron Nelson and Harvey Penick say you should stand as close to the ball as possible. A recent instructor told me to stand further away and lean over more. What's going on? Now I know. Different types of swings have different requirements. I quickly realized that I had been wandering back and forth between the two types of swings, sometimes hitting good shots and having a good round, sometimes even a good week, but soon losing it. Jim Hardy gives advice that is specific to the two types of swing. My only complaint is that there is not enough information to determine what type of swing would work best for me, but I was so impressed by the book that I bought the tapes. He must have realized that this was a weakness of the book. In the first tape, Hardy has Tom Pernice, Jr. demonstrate the amount of shoulder turn necessary for the one plane swing: the left shoulder has to be able to turn right under the chin, the right shoulder pointing up at the sky. I'm afraid that I'm just not this limber (I could never do yoga with my friends who are into it). So my decision seems to be made. This didn't surprise me too much, because in the past couple of weeks, I've been trying both types of swing, and while I never slice with the one plane and I've hit some great shots, I don't seem to hit it quite as far (and I've hit a few vicious hooks with it). The two plane swing it will have to be. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #60,140 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #86 in Golf (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 316 Reviews | ## Images ![The Plane Truth for Golfers: Breaking Down the One-plane Swing and the Two-Plane Swing and Finding the One That's Right for You - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/719Fpu5jtHL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The ONLY Golf swing Bible left standing *by J***T on July 24, 2013* All golf instruction no matter how contradictory will make perfect sense when viewed from Hardy's work.

The two plane swing it will have to be. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really worthwhile *by S***D on July 25, 2005* This book provides very good instruction with a general theory of the golf swing that is easy to keep in your head. I had already been paying enough attention to my swing mechanics to see that I was closer to the one-plane swing. This book filled in the gaps and has me on the road to a more consistent swing. As Mr. Hardy notes, the one-plane swing really does have fewer moving parts. There is just a lot less to think about. The latest key piece I discovered is having my left arm rotate clockwise (Hardy uses the word "pronate") on the back swing. I read those words but only got the "feel" of that by accident on the golf course. Once that happened, I reread the backswing chapter and it made sense, for me at least. The main mistake I make now is occassionally topping the ball, which I can quickly correct because Hardy has pointed out that in the one-plane swing you do not want to be straightening up on the downswing. If anything, he says, you want to be bending over slightly more as you make contact. (I believe I am accurately representing these little "tidbits" but double-check for yourself.) Anyways, the main criticism of the book probably lies with the editors and publisher. There are enough "geometric" terms (planes, angles, etc.) that additional illustrations would be helpful. Also, the color photos of Peter Jacobson demonstrating both swings should be redone in parallel sequences for easier comparison. I would also recommend Jeff Peshut's little book "Golf's Timeless Fundamentals", which I became aware of when reading his review of another golf book. He ties the key to a good golf swing to the motion of a pendulum. The "one-two", "three-four" swing thought really helps, especially on short chips and when putting. His explanation of a tempo tied to the pendulum that each person uniquely creates has also been enlightening for me. Together both books cost around $20 with shipping and I'd say represent an excellent value. I must also agree with another reviewer that Hardy's book probably sets a new standard, though I am no real judge of golf instruction. I would have to think that anyone who reads Hardy will be asking his or her next instructor whether they teach "one-plane", "two-plane" or both. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/3637336-the-plane-truth-for-golfers-breaking-down-the-one-plane](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/3637336-the-plane-truth-for-golfers-breaking-down-the-one-plane) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
