While golfers who hit the ball fat tend to stop their rotation or increase their spine angle too much, golfers who hit the ball thin often lose their spine angle during the downswing and have too much drive of the lower body.
One is usually caused by too little body movement and the other is often caused by too much.
If the spine angle decreases during the downswing, often referred to as “coming out of the shot,” the club will not be able to reach the ball as the whole body has moved away from it.

There are two common causes for coming out of a shot in the one plane swing: a fear of hitting it toward the lead side, and simply swinging too hard by driving the lower body aggressively toward the target. Using an AI swing analyzer can help identify which of these patterns is costing you solid contact.
Golfers coming from a two plane swing background often feel like they are swinging “over the top” when learning the one plane swing because they are so used to dropping the club to the inside.
