There is a one plane swing and a two plane swing, but not a one plane 2 plane swing.

A one plane swing is where you rotate the club more around your body on the shoulder plane, at the top of the backswing your lead arm is on the same plane as your shoulder tilt, you then swing back to the ball using the rotational forces of your torso and shoulders. With a two plane swing the club is lifted higher than the shoulder plane on the back swing then re-routed down onto a more shallow plane in the downswing.

This video gives you a basic understanding of the two types:

Most have traditionally used a 2 plane swing but many now have moved to a one plane type. If you look at Tiger his swing is more on his shoulder plane as was Ben Hogan's. Trevor Immelman, Veejay Singh and many more now use the one plane type as it needs less manipulations and is easy maintenance.

In my learning, it would seem that the major difference is the arm action.

In a 2 plane swing, the arms lift higher than they do in a 1 plane.

There's now a 3rd 'concept' called the Rotary Swing - which is where Tiger is at. It focuses more on correct movement and plane takes care of itself.

That's right Ben, the arms in a 2 plane swing lift up onto the second plane which is higher than the shoulders. In an 'On Plane' swing (Rotary or 1 plane) the arms rotate around the body and stay on the shoulder plane at the top. Your spine angle needs to be lower in the 'on plane' to facilitate a slightly steeper shoulder plane.
