I think I forgot to mention making the change from my old swing to this new swing took about a year. But still happy with it because I know tempo and timing problems will never be an issue for my long game ever again. |
At least to me, it would seem the second part of your statement contradicts the first. IMO, with proper mechanics of any reasonable swing you would never have to worry about proper release as it will just happen naturally assuming you use proper mechanics.
I guess my question would be, why did it take about a year to learn if everything just falls into place naturally. It only took me a week or so to learn proper release mechanics once I knew what it meant, why would I want to spend a year learning a new swing for the sake of not wanting to learn proper release? Not say a one plane swing is a bad thing, as mine more closely resembles one-plane, however to say you don't have to worry about mechanics of a release on a one-plane swing is unnecessary if the rest of your swing is correct could be said about a two-plane swing as well.
Maybe I am missing something, but to me the release on either seems to be roughly the same, and occurs after the transition/non-transition of planes on either of the swings.
