Does anyone use the single axis swing similar that Peter Lonard uses?  The success that Peter has had this year has intrigued me.  His teacher is Gary Edwin.  Anyone have any experience or thoughts with this method?

Thanks!

It is kinda like Jim Hardy's single swing plane, butt Gary Edwin's is all about The Right Sided Swing, he has a dvd on his site that I was thinking about getting ( unless you want to get it  whist since I have the acadamy live in MPG format already and TGC Hardy Jacobson MPG too emot-angel )

Gary is currently golf coach to various tour players listed below :
   * Rod Pampling
   * Gavn Coles
   * Peter Senior
   * Paul Gow
   * Jan Stephenson
   * Scott Gardiner
   * Scott Barr
   * Stuart Bouvier
   * Matt Ballard
   * Jason King
   * Brad Lamb
   * Grant Dodd
   * Nicole Lowien

If you guys are thinking about a video series. Take a long look at Golflevels.com
The series is taught by Roger Gunn (my professional) who is a good friend and student of Jim Hardy( he teaches the same stuff).
He has worked with numerous tour pros including Tom Lehman, Tommy Tolles, Steve Pate, etc...... and is a fantastic player in his one right (qaulified for 2 U.S Opens and played professionally, ect......). He was also Southern California teacher of the year in 2001 and clubfitter of the year in 2000.

The series is ability based( broken down into handicap ranges), comes in five levels ranging from the beginer all the way to the scratch golfer. Each level comes with both the short game and full swing video. It is more of an on course teaching video. Which shows you shots that you and you handicap level will face and how to make the adjustmesnt neccessary to save you shots.

It has received very high reviews from big name magazines and critics.

It is definitely worth a try. I own them myself and take lessons from him personally.

I totally disagree with it.   I think most all  good players have a two pivot point swing.

Jim Hardy teaches the single swing plane and some that work with him are Peter Jacobsen, Paul Azinger, Scott McCarron, Brad Faxon.
Some will Say that Tiger has a single swing plane too.

Plane Truth for Golfers
Jim Hardy, John Andrisani
Has been released, I am getting a copy this weekend.

Plane Truth for Golfers
FROM THE PUBLISHER
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.

"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

"Jim Hardy is the most knowledgeable teacher in golf. No other instructor has his understanding of golf swing techniques and what makes them work. Any golfer, regardless of ability, who has the opportunity to listen and work with Jim will benefit and improve."
--Peter Jacobsen, Champions Tour player and winner of seven PGA Tour championships

Voted one of "America's 50 Greatest Teachers" by Golf Digest and ranked among the "Top 100 Teachers" list by Golf magazine, Jim Hardy has been fixing the swings of professional and amateur golfers since 1977. In The Plane Truth for Golfers, he makes his groundbreaking concepts available to you for the first time.

Hardy's earth-shattering philosophy is quite simple: Everything you've learned about swing fundamentals is wrong. 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. Every player falls neatly into one of these two categories and one of them is guaranteed to work for you.

In this easy-to-follow handbook, complete with dozens of instructional photographs, Hardy breaks down the two methods into simple steps you're sure to learn in no time. Once you get a grip on Hardy's plan, you'll be able to:

    * Determine whether you're a one-plane or two-plane swinger and how to avoid the dangerous mixture of having elements of both  in your swing
    * Step into the proper starting position for both swings
    * Understand the real truth about the backswing
    * Master a whole new technique for the downswing and defeat the competition
    * PLUS: You'll also get plenty of exercises and drills to help you perfect the proper on-plane movements and correct common faults

Like no other how-to book, The Plane Truth for Golfers exposes the flaws of current golf instruction and reveals the secret to playing good golf.

You guys are confusing two totally different methods.   Jim Hardies plane stuff is totally different than a single axis swing.   These are two different idea's and two different teachers.

Kasco, Can you explain the differences?  I started looking into the Single Axis Swing after there was so much hype around Peter Lonard winning so much and Butch Harmon stating that the Single Axis Swing is the swing of the future.

Here is a link to the SAS forum

Gary Edwin and Jim Hardy teach basically the same idea, but theirs is all about firing the right side with a one-plane swing.
