Yo Richie.

Who-so-ever stated that a one plane swing has an inside take away, probably also enjoys listening to Graham Le Saux commentate and thinks he has a lot of useful stuff to say about football. You can take the club waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay outside and still have a Two Plane Swing.

The difference between a One Plane Swing and Two Plane Swing is very simple. In a One Plane Swing the club is on exactly the same plane in the backswing as it is in the downswing and throughswing. Ernie Els has a One Plane Swing.

A Two Plane Swing is more like the old Sergio Garcia swing. The club and arms go back on one plane and come down on another.

You therefore cannot have "a bit of both". It's either got 1 plane, or two planes. If you've got more than 2 planes, you need to pick another sport and MAY not even come from earth.

As far as I can tell from the vid, yours is a Two Plane Swing. Nut only by a few inches - your backswing is margianlly flatter than your dwonswing.******

I may open up a can of worms by stating that a One Plane Swing is more desirable than a Two Plane Swing. To swing a golf club correctly, everyone has their own ideal swing plane. Not two. Just one each. Let's not get greedy! We all only have one height measurement, and that doesn't (shouldn't!) change during the swing. Having a different swing plane than the one you started with can only be born of and lead to some serious compensations to hit the ball straight. Rarely good and totally unreliable. How many "club rerouters" out there have had a sustained period of good ball striking, I wonder? I would venture, not as many One Plane Swing-ers.

Keep it real. Keep it simple. Keep it One Plane Swing.

Over and out.

****** If you want me to relate this to what we were talking about earlier in the week re your backswing, what will happen is that your backswing will get steeper (not steep, just steeper!) which is what you're after to get rid of that flatness. Should even turn you into a one-planer! Happy days! (sorry for the late edit if you read the first post. I'm ill at the moment and get confused very easily!)
