By: KalaniSurf. on 25 Jun 08, 22:30:34 I like Jeff's method of teaching, I've scanned many chip shot videos and even went to the Pelz short game school to help solidfy my approach, what I like best about Ritter is the simplicity of his method --- no gimmicks, square stance, weight forward. This will surely help those with the chipping yips.

I have seen JH's ... By: mcconnon12. on 15 Dec 08, 02:35:08 I have seen JH's swing its not nearly as nice as this guy. Both of them talk about the same mechanics but this guy's swing is much more fluid then JH.
This guy's swing ... By: sleestak33. on 11 Dec 08, 14:50:15 This guy's swing looks like that "Iron Byron" machine. Love to have mine look like that. I've been a scratch golfer for years but my swing breaks down all the time. I'm gonna strive to get into the same position he does at the top.

You're just some ... By: stephenperera. on 04 Sep 08, 13:15:37 You're just some over zealous idiot who can't read english. I said "This is a very nice one plane swing", meaning as defined by JH, but if you're copying the swing from the book it's slightly different so look at this info. Did you read the post i suggested? It covers exactly this topic. Maybe if you did i wouldn't have to waste my time replying to your comments.
Who cares if it's ... By: wongfu82. on 04 Sep 08, 09:17:28 Who cares if it's not a "JH textbook" one plane swing. Labauve himself even comes from underneath on the downswing. As do most legit one-planers (Scott McCarron, Hunter Mahan, etc.) If you look at some of Jeff's other videos, you'll see that he uses JH's one plane philosophy as a basis for his swing and teachings. I distinctly remember JH saying that as long as you are not making 1p moves in a 2p swing and vice versa, you'll be fine. JH has swing footage in one of his secrets vids.
The post on the ... By: stephenperera. on 03 Sep 08, 16:00:07 The post on the forum is JIM HARDY talking about the swing HE TEACHES. If you look at late Hogan footage he does just this. Have you seen the 2005 show from the golf channel academy live where JH has Peter Jacobson go through the ops positions? I have very little footage of JH swinging. If you have some post it, i'd love to see it. From what i have i'm not sure that you are correct about JH's own swing. Anyway as i said i'm paraphrasing from JH and giving a source, not just offering my oppinion.
If you look at both ... By: wongfu82. on 01 Sep 08, 20:53:38 If you look at both Hardy's and LaBauve's one plane swing, you'll see that they most resemble Jeff's and not what you are describing.
This is a very nice ... By: stephenperera. on 26 Aug 08, 20:23:45 This is a very nice one plane swing. However, If you are trying to replicate the ops from Jim Hardy's book exactly it is slightly different. The backswing should be slightly under and onto the shaft plane with the downswing on the shaft plane. Please see the post on the JH golf website forum for further clarification.

It was just a ... By: steelman3686. on 05 Aug 08, 00:37:57 It was just a thought because....well first of all its in the first book in the in the impact segment..what i was thinking is because his shaft is in a more two plane postion....that is its at the same place it was at address he did not turn his shoudlers fully through the shot. So the reason why I was thinking his students caught things then is because they do not have the correct amount of shaft lean on the club at impact, because shoulders are not turning fast enough.

Correct me if I am ... By: steelman3686. on 23 Jul 08, 12:17:15 Correct me if I am wrong Jeff but if you are correctly doing the one plane swing your shaft should be more upright at impact. At least thats what Jim Hardy states, and maybe thats why some of your students catch the ball thin often

Do you think that, through surgery, it would be possible to cut us both down the middle and create the perfect golfer? I am about a foot and a half taller than him, which might cause us to swing down on the ball a little bit. Any thoughts? The bits of our bodies that don't get used could just go to science.

I think I could have three swing flaws? Is it possible that I could be across the line, swinging over the top and coming down steep on the ball? Do these swing flaws go hand and hand? If so...any advice that might fix the most obvious problem. I do glance at the ball and hit a slice with my driver. Most frustrating!!

I go across the ... By: strataone. on 27 Oct 08, 21:00:47 I go across the line at the top and when I do this drill it solves plenty for me. I get the right sensation of "opening and closing the door." It feels like you are showing someone the card but because I'm so used to going across the line it puts me on plane. It feels like I'm laid off but on video its on plane .
Jeff, can you ... By: Wethblade. on 03 Sep 08, 08:32:54 Jeff, can you clarify what you mean when you say show the card to someone standing behind you?
Brilliant. Great ... By: pcakesxl1979. on 29 Aug 08, 18:16:21 Brilliant. Great teaching. I must admit I was misled by "show the card to someone behind you". I imagine this to be behind my set-up for example the wall to the left in your video. Perhaps "to the left and a little bit behind you" would be more accurate e.g. far left corner of the room you are in. Maybe you just want to exaggerate the feel. For me, when I tried this, I felt I had to go through the "stop" position rotating the right arm in the wrong direction. Please let me know if I am way off.

Hey Jeff. Very ... By: dggood. on 05 Aug 08, 18:18:17 Hey Jeff. Very interesting info on the release of the club. The pro at my club said I was releasing the club too early, resulting in an open club face, high ball flight and severe loss of distance (he's good at finding faults but not so good at fixing them!). I tried your rotation release and my 7iron has gone from 140 yrds to 160! However, I'm now hitting it out to the left - about 10-15 yrds off target. I like the extra distance but how do I straighten it out again?

One thing - someone recently said to me that release is like 'skimming a stone at the beach' - I have since tried this and had lots of success (for me) - not sure if the actions you mention cover this (I would say it feels a-bit like the slap one, again to me) - what are your thoughts on this.

I teach golf, not ... By: jritter5. on 06 Jan 08, 23:05:08 I teach golf, not One-Plane, not Golfing Machine not any one method. I have preferences which are certainly influenced tremendously by Jim Hardy, but in the end my goal is to fix the impact and I use many influences and ideas to do so, even some Golfing Machine related. I spent a week with Ben Doyle in California and took alot from that experience. I don't get caught up in terminology or semantics as it really doesn't matter what something is called, only that it works.

Very intresting and i really want to carry this out and change my swing to more of a one plane swing! But one problem im 13 and i have a 12.5 driver and the shaft angle is very low and looks like i a swinging a baseball bat. Any suggestions would be very helpful!
Jeff Ritter demonstrates 6 Iron from the face on view, employing the fundamentals of what is known as the One-Plane swing. These fundamentals are very similar as well for stack and tilt technique. For Jeff's online book logon to www.golfbydesign.net
I'm constantly ... By: MikePedersenGolfTips. on 09 Sep 08, 22:36:33 I'm constantly working on tempo. Use to just "jump on it" and try to hit it long, but that was not helping my handicap. Now I've given up 20 yards off the tee and at least 1 club with my irons and am hitting the ball much more solidly. But...why do I hit my shots on the toe 90% of the time?
Jeff, can I see ... By: jason11605. on 05 May 08, 05:13:58 Jeff, can I see your driver swing video at front angle? My friend look at my Driver swing and he is pointing out my head should be moved back, so my left eye should look at the ball behind. I look at your iron swing and notice that it is not true. Is iron and driver swing should be different? In fact, sometimes I do out-in swing when hit the ball, so my right shoulder comes first.
One plane in my ... By: jritter5. on 19 Apr 08, 22:15:24 One plane in my opinion is based more on arm swing and shoulder tilt. The flatter arm swing, then creates the necessity to stay more on your left side as you swing. Stack and tilt "seems" to be based more on creating a steeper body lean that then requires a flatter arm swing. Both are similar. I do not come from a stack and tilt information base, but this is my opinion as I see it. The S and T guys may explain differently.
Jeff, what are you ... By: juicyfruitzy. on 19 Apr 08, 10:52:52 Jeff, what are you thoughts on stack and tilt?
It doesn't seem like you are using it. I like the idea of striking the ball through one plane. But I hear stack and tilt is a more efficient way to do it. Please ellaborate.
Thanks, xoxo
Jeff, it has been a ... By: vonwedgy. on 10 Apr 08, 23:12:54 Jeff, it has been a long year as I have transitioned to one plane. I see the light at end of tunnel.... I have noticed that when I consciously think of turning my left hip hard left on downswing I hit the ball pure. However, I have always had a lateral slide and when then comes in a thin it or worse shank it. Any thoughts on my hip swing thought?

Good question. ... By: jritter5. on 08 Mar 08, 22:54:32 Good question. Address and impact are different with the hands being more neutral at address and more forward at impact. This address position in my swing is a little exagerated due a previous problem i had of whipping the clubhead inside during the takeaway. Since my takaway has been fixed, I have decided to just leave well enough alone. In general though I would prefer to be a little more neutral. Thanks for the question.

... By: jritter5. on 15 Feb 08, 03:49:01 Thanks Alex,
Actually, if you look closely you can see my weight roll a little to the outside of my foot where the ball of my left foot is slightly off the turf. In my opinion, it's impossible to hit hard and not have some type roll to the foot. Thanks for you question.
Jeff
Jeff, at the end of ... By: alexnatividadmd. on 15 Feb 08, 03:31:24 Jeff, at the end of your follow trough, it appears that your weigh is at the center of your left foot versus the often recommended "outside of left foot or rollovered to the outside of the left foot? is that correct.

happy new year! I ... By: triode2a3. on 03 Jan 08, 22:46:34 happy new year! I found your videos about 3 weeks ago. I was previously swinging inconsistently on 2 planes. I altered my posture and worked on getting the club to be 90 degrees to my spine. Trying the new swing on the course after a bit of practice at the range brought immediately amazing results in my ball striking. My driver trajectory is now much more consistent. Still have much to work on, but the material you have posted gives me clear direction.
Thanks! Found your ... By: vonwedgy. on 30 Dec 07, 22:05:41 Thanks! Found your other videos and you do a great job explaining.I will use your hula hoop drill to help. I will be in Phoenix in Feb and March and want to get a lesson with you. How can I contact you?
Sh#$8ing, is a ... By: jritter5. on 30 Dec 07, 21:25:05 Sh#$8ing, is a result of a) being too flat or b)having poor measurement to the ball. A one-plane motion has a fairly flat arm swing, but make sure the shoulders offset this with a steeper tilt. If this looks ok, practice the "Heel to Toe" drill. Intentionally set the ball off the hosel at address, then feel your arms pinned snug to your body at impact as if to try and make contact off of the toe of the club. This will ensure that your arms are not "running away" from your body at impact.
Jeff. Awesome swing ... By: vonwedgy. on 30 Dec 07, 21:13:29 Jeff. Awesome swing. I want it! I 'converted'to one plane after lessons and read both of Hardy's books BUT when I am not hitting the ball pure (50% of the time)I sh*&k and thin it, actually Sh#$*ing alot now (can't even spell out the word for fear of infecting others). Any advice? Help....

I have played my entire life, but the improvments in my ball striking have come over the past 7 years as a result of discoveries as it relates to my coaching.

my swing plane is the club head comes inside on my way back and then over the top with a scooping effect at impact due to releasing the club too early, i'm currently an 8 handicap.
My question to you is would a one plane swing be easier to repeat and would it help me hinge and hold more into impact to eliminate scooping?

Due to the rotary ... By: jritter5. on 28 Jan 08, 02:14:23 Due to the rotary nature of the swing, the weight must move more toward the left heel into the follow through, even showing some degree of roll in the ankle as well. This is common in the swing of every tour player. You are of course entitled to your opinion.
Your weight rolls ... By: sabregold1999. on 28 Jan 08, 02:04:33 Your weight rolls to the left heel and more specifically the outside of the left heel when you work your right hip in that fashion. That is not balanced, IMO of course.
The shoulders ... By: jritter5. on 27 Jan 08, 19:20:57 The shoulders rotate around a "tilted" spine which creates the look you are describing. Only well past impact does the spine have permission to release from its tilted angle. This amount varies from player to player.
So here's a ... By: sabregold1999. on 27 Jan 08, 18:30:37 So here's a question, why is your right side collapsed through impact and remaining so? That is not balanced.

Would you say your ... By: pr4nk5tr. on 15 Jun 08, 01:50:56 Would you say your swing has some stack and tilt tendencies? Because it looks like you clear the right side rather than the left in the backswing, and the left knee comes forward. Also you talked about squeezing a sponge under the left foot rather than rolling the foot sideways. Just curious, because I want to restrict the turn of my left hip, but feel that a little stack and tilt helps to complete the backswing.
Great swing!!! I ... By: fructis12345. on 18 Apr 08, 17:36:39 Great swing!!! I love your videos and the site!
When I watch your swing I notice you roll your forearms and open the face more in the takeaway than Jim Hardy suggests but you don't go inside, I do this also but I do get too flat and inside - I don't cock my wrists till late in the swing. Would you recommend, for me, to cock my wrists earlier to get slightly more up?
Thanks

By: rotary02. on 17 Apr 08, 07:57:52 hey jeff!! your vid here are helpful, but i have a really big problem. i usually hit alot of fat shots. people told me that my wrist is bent at the top of my swing. is there a drill i can follow to straighten out my left arm during my back swing?? i think your one plane swing is smooth! thanks!
the low and cut off ... By: ysong00. on 02 Apr 08, 04:59:16 the low and cut off backswing reminds me more specially of the stack and tilt than a just a one plane swing. the backswing plane does not have to be low like yours in order for it to be a one plane swing right?

Excellent!! I love ... By: jason11605. on 25 Feb 08, 23:28:06 Excellent!! I love your swing motion, Jeff. But you pose a sec on the top before down swing. According to Jim Hardy, you should move your hips and body to the right as soon as you are on the top without any pose when you are one plane swinger. How do you think? You suggest to pose a bit before down swing?
