We have had _many_ questions, and I've even written a blog here, about moving from 2-handed to 1-handed swings with a particular weight. This subject which would really benefit from a longer explanation than what's in the book because many people are simply unprepared and unable to swing, using one hand only, a weight they can swing well with two hands. The mechanics are significantly different, and it's almost like learning a different movement in some ways - you dial in your hip hinge and the rest of your form while using two hands, and then it can feel like you've never swung a kettlebell before when you first try one-handed swings.
One could make a convincing argument for starting one-handed swings with _half_ the weight of what one used with two hands.
Another interesting progression would be to swing double kettlebells that total what the two-handed, single bell weight was, and then gradually lessen the weight on one side, e.g.
32 singles x 2h
16 double
one 16 and one 12
one 16 and one 8
one 20 and one 8
one 16
There is good guidance in ROTK about working with unequal weights.
