Product Description
"Jim Hardy is the most knowledgeable teacher in golf. This extraordinary book will be the most revolutionary instructional book since Ben Hogan's Five Lessons."
--Peter Jacobsen, Seven-time PGA Tour event winner Voted one of "America's 50 Greatest Teachers" by Golf Digest and ranked in the "Top 100 Teachers" list of Golf magazine, Jim Hardy is a veritable scholar of swing. He's been fixing the swings of professional and amateur golfers since 1977, and in The Plane Truth for Golfers, he makes his groundbreaking concepts available to you for the first time. Hardy's revolutionary approach is simple: There are two sets of fundamentals to the swing, not one. There is the one-plane swing, for more athletic players, and the two-plane swing, suitable for players of all abilities. Understanding these concepts is crucial to your improvement, and Hardy breaks them down into easy-to-follow steps, complete with dozens of photographs.

The real truth
Rating  (5)
Date: 2009-12-23
Several times but not consistenly I've played golf with friends that were really involved. I've got thousands of advices. Can write a book if I put them all together. I went to an instructor two times with total failure. On sepetember this year my wife and myself took five golf clases w/ PGA Jim Montanaro, based on this book. He explained so simple yet so effective that I've bought it. It confirm all of what I was expecting from it. It is not a magic book. It is better than that because it make one think on what golf strike is based on your own skills. Briefly and togethr w/ jim help affter five clases I hit better than ever. I strongly reommned it.

CLARIFICATION & VALIDATION
Rating (5)
Date: 2009-09-18
This book gave me the clarification I needed to resolve some mixed swing thoughts and advice from other golfers. What it also gave me was a sense of validation that my own swing thoughts were correct! I'm in my mid-50's (age, not handicap LOL!) and my swing had gotten a lot flatter. I've read Hogan's Five Lessons and found that to be generally helpful but Jim Hardy explains why some things just get you mixed up- how we setup with conflicting styles and with conflicting results!
After having read less than 40 pages I realized my custom-made irons were built to fit a standard setup a few years ago. I went and had the lie of my irons flattened by 2 degrees. Not only do they feel more comfortable at address but I'm hitting them much more accurately.
I can't wait to see how this story ends!

This book is the first book detailing Jim Hardy's one plane swing. It can easily be read in an afternoon, and discusses the fundamental differences between the one plane and two plane swings. This book is rather basic and covers the fundamentals including grip, stance, and posture . . . I would strongly recommend looking into the second book in this series (Master Class) as it goes into more detail and has a whole chapter on drills.

Whether you are a novice or an accomplished player, this book gives an excellent perspective on the golf swing. Of particular value is the simplification of the swing into 2 types with specific associated fundamentals that apply to each type. WJWeeks

The best golf instruction book I have ever read
Rating (5)
Date: 2008-04-15
Wow! After reading Jim Hardy's The Plane Truth for Golfers I immediately realized that I was mixing fundamentals for the one plane swing and the two plane swing. This was causing my ball striking to be very erratic. After practicing the drills set forth in the book for my style of swing (one plane), I began striking the ball much more consistently and more shots were on target. After about 6 months of utilizing the information from Mr. Hardy, my handicap has gone from an 8 to a 5 (I still can't putt) and I am striking the ball more solidly than I ever have in the 49 years I have been playing the game. If you are serious about improving your golf game and are willing to utilize the information and drills in this book, you will not be disappointed!
