After videoing my swing, I just think I'm too... let's say "barrel chested" to stick with a one-plane swing. My arms are relatively short so at the top of my backswing it looks like my shaft is inches from my right shoulder. I'm also having a lot of trouble generating clubhead speed the older I get.

I'm thinking about going to a more upright two plane swing, and wanted to see if any of you have made that transition. Are there certain feelings that you look for to get you in a good position? How does your posture, alignment, and release change?

Can't. He was "the only one living". Remember?

Check out Moe Norman’s swing, it is the one plane swing and it is taught today. I have seen videos on YouTube for it. Moe was anything but athletic, barrel chested, short and did everything wrong by conventional standards. He was only the best ball striker to ever live.

Matter fact go to golf.com, there is an article on moe today. There is a video of him hitting 50 wedge shots rapid fire and putting most within 5 to 8 ft. He did not miss the green.
