Golf Swing Details about your Grip that Nobody Knows

The golf swing is a series of body positions which, when put into motion, must "match up". Matching up means that each positions of the hand, arm or shoulders has a subsequent position of the body part attached to it. This means that if your hand is incorrectly rotated, your forearm will also be incorrectly rotated. Based on this premise, bad golf swings are simply poorly executed positions with subsequent compensations.
In this video I discuss the details of the Non-rotational trail hand and how it relates to the tilt of the body at address.
The Single Plane golf swing is not a quick fix golf technique. It is a system, beginning at address, that simplifies the most important moment of the golf swing - impact.
Starting at address on two planes where the arms hang straight down at address, the Conventional golf swing is complicated. Because the arms are hanging straight down, a conventional golfer must lift the body into impact creating stress on the back.
This upward movement to accommodate the two planes is unnecessary.
The Single Plane Golf swing simplifies the golf swing by eliminating the need for the upward movement by starting and impacting on the same plane.

I have been trying to get my 65 yr old swing on-plane and thanks to your instructions on KZfaq, I can now hit it much straighter with less effort and the process is starting to make total sense. I’ve never hit the ball better! Thanks Todd!

Another great lesson. Thanks Todd. Since I have changed my swing to the single plane after watching your videos, I have never hit my driver or irons better. Still working on short game, but what a big difference you have made to my golf game. Dave

Todd, I just wanted to say, that I’ve watched 100s of videos, and by far yours made the most sense. I play my clubs like a baseball bat, and once I made my adjustments to your complete setup, it has changed my game. Awesome videos and I appreciate your help. Thank you!

Hey Todd Great job of clear and concise instruction. I originally learned the 2 plane swing as a child from Tommy Armour’s book written in the 40’s. Then started to add one plane elements that were being taught in the 90’s, learned that the 2 don’t mix well from Jim Hardy in 2006 in his DVD series the Plane truth about Golf . Also learned about Moe Norman’s single plane about the same time but didn’t Like the look of his swing. So it seems like there are 3 distinctive swing types . I have what I consider to a very good iron game “ still hit a 2 iron about 220 “ but always struggle with Driver accuracy was considering trying the Single Plane out but only for the driver and keeping my iron game in tact. Any thoughts on this ? Thanks Todd.

I just love this theory/framework Todd has built by reverse-engineering Moe's swing. It's logical, consistent, it's almost as if you could create and prove Theorems about the whole structure. Will it make me actually able to hit a golf ball and get around a course? I have absolutely no idea (although Todd would say that, in theory, if you copy Moe then you copy his results). But it's sure fun to try.

Hi Todd and thanks for another great video. At 6:00 minutes in the video you talk about the "Straight Line Motion" which looks so easy to do but every time I try to do that my lead arm wants to bend as well. I have this problem with my regular golf swing as well and found when I bend my lead arm in my back swing I have no consistency and my swing is all over the place. Any thoughts on this?

My issue with my grip is always the feeling like grip separates from the club at the top of my bsckswing which causes the club to turn in my hand.

Question if anyone can answer. The skipping the rock angle of the right hand on downswing. I would like to know the extent of how flat you rotate your right hand. In this video Todd has it about 45 degrees through the beginning of the downswing but then really flattens as he gets closer to impact.. I would like to know the ideal angles as flatter seems to produce more lag but does it deliver the head consistently square at impact

@carlbakker2067 Жыл бұрын

Deze Todd, I have changed to the single plane swing and it realy works for me. You teach addres and grip but i’ve noticed that in almost all of your video’s you already have the club in your hand when you set up. That is a bit confusing.

@ToddGravesGolf Жыл бұрын

I teach you to learn the address then Grip and not to grip first - once you practice it , you no longer have to think about it because you have mastered it

@darrenfitzpatrick5331 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks Todd. Assuming correct hand position in relation to the club and body at address ,can you use and interlock grip or is overlap the only way to have the correct grip position?

@ToddGravesGolf 3 жыл бұрын

I dont recommend the interlocking grip. Overlap is best to get the wrists working together.

I'm excited to get started. Did online club fitting. Is there anything I can do to get started or will it be detrimental to practice with poorly fitted clubs? (Irons are up 1.5* and 1 1/2" longer)

@ToddGravesGolf 3 жыл бұрын

It depends on how poorly fitted especially lie angle. Lie angle is very important for the Single Plane address to impact.

Question Todd. If the club face is square at full extension yet the proper ball striking technique is to have natural shaft lean with hands leading, wouldn’t that be pre full extension and therefore the club face would be slightly open?

@ToddGravesGolf 2 жыл бұрын

No - tilt of body allows club to be square

I love this single plane swing, however, I am confused because I use the 10 finger baseball grip which is what Moe used in his later years. Now what do I do?

@ToddGravesGolf 2 жыл бұрын

It’s not baseball. Overlap unifies the hands

@ianchantrey8868 3 жыл бұрын

I think I heard that Moe was left handed, therefore his lead hand being the dominant hand, do you believe this had an influence on his swing and grip or his follow through, thanks

@calypso625 3 жыл бұрын

I have been trying to find information on this for a while without success. I'm the same as Moe, swing lh but dominant rh. It's the compete opposite dynamic to 90% of golfers and presumably teachers

I play golf LH, but my dominant hand is right. My question to Todd is, will this slow down the training of the Moe Norman golf swing.

@scottarchuleta3951 3 жыл бұрын

@toddgraves would you agree that if you have a great address and grip that the rest of the swing kind of takes care of itself?

@ToddGravesGolf 3 жыл бұрын

No. I don't agree with that. The motion of the goal swing is learned and trained. For example the pelvis stability, as you rotate in the backswing, is a trained phenomenon. It doesn't jut happen because you have a good address position.

@@ToddGravesGolf thanks Todd. I’m about four months into my change from a conventional swing to a single plane swing. There have definitely been a lot of growing pains during that time. But, I’m finally starting to feel like I’m building some new motor patterns. Right now I’m pretty good on the range but I haven’t been able to consistently take it to the course yet. It will come though. Before I started this I was a scratch to 2 handicap. Right now I’m a 4. But I’m confident that in a year from now I’ll be a plus handicap. Love the content. I refer to your videos just about every single day.

@ToddGravesGolf Жыл бұрын

Moe Never used baseball grip. A baseball grip has the thumb to the side of the club. He also used overlapping his entire youth until 1994. Every tournament he played and won, he used overlapping grip.
