The upright-plane takes the swing back up over the shoulder on the backswing and has steep path back to the ball. The flat plane takes the club just outside the shoulder and across the back. In both cases the leading edge of the club will parallel to the left forearm at the top of the swing.

The upright swinger will remain in the hitting zone for a longer period because the arc is steeper. Because of this the golfer will have more control of the shots. The upright plane is harder to master because the rotational movement of your hips and torso is not in the same plane with your shoulder rotation.

The flat-plane swinger rotates his torso and hips and shoulders in the same plane, making it easier to cooridinate and utilize the speed developed by the rotation of the hips. The flat plane is easier to learn, and for the average golfer it will impart more swing speed. The downside is that the golfer is in the hitting zone for slightly less time because of the shallow arc of the swing. This causes slightly less control.
