For me, I'm just trying to learn everything I can about this game (I'm stll a newbie and I at least want to know what people are talking about when they use all this terminology). I am learning to glean out what seems to work for me and leave the rest.
What I found most interesting about this article is that it suggests that if I am standing more erect but have a wide stance and a "strong" grip - as opposed to a neutral grip- I am mixing my setup for two "very different" swings.
If this is true, then when we talk about setup and swing mechanics - and give advice on same - how can we do so without first definning which swing we are talking about? Would somebody out there care to explain this to me  . Because it seems to me that much advice is given without first considering what type of swing is being employed.
Now some, I know, employ neither a one or two plane swing. Some golfers I have observed appear to have a three or more plane swing  . |
There is in fact very little difference between the mechanics of the two swings. Grip for example should not be affected, the grip should always be neutral (well, that's my opinion but maybe another discussion), the takeaway, club release etc are all the same. There is a difference in the backswing where the one plane cocks the wrists and then rotates the arms and shoulders to a steeper plane and the one plane keeps close to that of address.
