Trevor Immelman - One Plane Swing - Video

When you look at Trevor Immelman, you again see the myriad of One-Plane fundamentals at work. His posture has a little more forward lean than some other players which perfectly sets up the need for a flatter arm swing. During his takeaway, just like Aaron Baddeley, he keeps his left arm snug to his chest, as his right elbow folds and works behind the seam of his shirt. At the top you can easily see the single plane formed by his left arm and shoulder tilt. The final point I'll make is how far to the left his chest is rotated at the finish. Here he is employing what I like to call the "hitter's mentality" where his body is fully undwound to the left as if he were a batter in baseball. Most people won't have Trevor's level of flexibility, but the thought of getting your chest to left field will surely add some more "swat" to your swing!
