One Plane or Two Plane Swing?

{moe is an interesting one as he wasn't a planar swinger
- he could return the shaft angle to impact at pretty much to his exaggerated set-up angle
- but he moved the club back initially well under plane and inside then h 3is/4 top position was a tad steeper then he swallowed out the shaft at transition with the irons to come back to impact initially from a tad under the plane to his address shaft angle (the woods & driver from hips down returned more on plane to the address angle than the irons did)
interesting 'feel' to real as to what he said about the hands to what they actually did through impact, moe used his hands actively to square up the face as can be seen directly after impact looking how much the club face angle has rotated in the follow through exit position, there's no 'slow rate' of face angle going on by a body type release there
shorter swing length and hands probably went a lot into why moe wasn't a big hitter - though he always said he was - but this just wasn't the case - very very straight but not long}
