Well, pnearn, you and I are the same height.

The reason the One Plane Swing is more bent over (think 45º) is that the swing is inherently flat, so to offset it you bend over more.

I like the more bent over position, as it seems to me to be much easier to deliver the clubhead straight and square the more bent over you are. (Kind of like a paddleboat wheel - if you could hit and generate power bent at 90º, you'd almost never have a problem making straight contact!)

Just like the Two Plane Swing, arms hang naturally from the shoulders. Don't worry about if your hands are 2" or 2' from your body, just let 'em hang, stick a club between 'em, and grab the club. This hanging is crucial, and here's why. If you reach with your arms, you'll most likely hit off the toe as your arms will draw in to get on your natural plane. Conversely, if you crowd your hands and arms in, you'll naturally move them out on your swing, and either pull, slice, or shank coming back, as your arms will now be further out.

The key thing is to take a few practice swings - see where you'll swing naturally. Then, if you like, you can move your hands/arms in or out so that they're in the same spot at address as they will be at impact.

A new highlight: Golfing the home course on Christmas Day.

I say it too often: If it's golf club shaped, you can play with it.

For the record, I'm a club doctor, not a swing doctor.
