I made a commitment to transition to a single plane swing and couldn’t be happier! Finally, after 30 years of frustrating golf, I can strike the ball pure. There’s no doubt this is the best way to swing a golf club. Thanks Todd for bringing to light Moe’s brilliance.

Great job Todd. I’ve studied the single plane since Jim Hardy. The techniques you present are so simple and easy to apply. Appreciate it.

You explain biomechanics BETTER than anyone I have watched and I watched them all. Go MOE!!!

Todd you do an awesome job of explaining Moe Norman swing. Hats off to you and your company and your willingness to help you everyday golfer. You are a good man

Thanks Mr Graves your doing the golf world a massive service with your knowledge ,wisdom and understanding of Moe Normans golf swing . Bucky Fuller used to say . In order to change the existing reality you have to create a New Model that makes the old one obsolete. Back to the future....perhaps The right palm grip or trail hand as you call it is his secret with the One Plane set up . There's no conscious thought of trying to square the clubface.Its built in at address . I have one of my child's slip on sandles I use as a practice aid . I find the large sole of the sandle helps me understand the relationship between the trail hand and the club face staying square through impact . Really enjoying your videos.

Thank You so much! This is exactly what i needed.

Todd this vidio is pure class its a gold nugget I. Have never hit the ball better in30 yrs letting the hands be passive through impact using upper torso all your instructional vidios are superb

That is exactly what I thought I had to do. Coming off a conventional swing where I had to do “rotation” in order to square the club. Makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.

I think that’s the ah ha moment for me. Switching from conventional to single plane, my trail arm wants to rotate so bad but just having that visual of trail arm extension and a what I think I needed. Thanks Todd!

Brilliant! Thank you Todd!

At last someone has defined this. Great job Todd. Come to England and do some demonstrations?

Thank you Todd for you're extraordinary fast response to my false perception of Moe's release. I think I am beginning to understand even more when you tell us Moe was a non excessive rotational player altogether as opposes to 99.9 professional players in his day and for that matter; even today. For example many of today's young top players are rotating their lead hip anywhere from 45 to 60 degrees exactly at the point of impact. Ouch! Where as I believe you said Moe's hip rotation was 35 degrees at impact to the ball. Correct? As I told you the other day; at 72 I did feel Moe's feeling of greatness in my own swing thanks to you. I still need more practice and information; so I will keep watching your very generous videos and follow your "rules". If I can ever convince my wife to go to Florida; I will look you up; shake your hands; and, thank you personally. PS : At some point I will film myself and send you a brief link of my feeling of greatness; thanks to you and Moe. Sincerely, Tom

Funny how I watched your previous uploaded video (Fireside Chat) and saw the grip .... Then watched this video... saw and understood my problem why I couldn't properly square the face each and every time.... and why my swing felt awkward... I'm using a traditional golf grip while not using a traditional swing.. I keep mudding the two swings together and find I push or slice the ball almost as often as I hit the ball straight..

You always talk about Moe Norman’s golf swing, and rightfully so. What most of your viewers know or don’t know is how Mr Norman altered his clubs by adding weights to the heads. In effect was able to let the club fly through, hence keeping straighter longer. Norman was way ahead of his time when it came to engineering aspect of golf, which they do now with modern technology. Although an expensive set of clubs make a difference, but only if the golfer is doing what they are suppose to do. Can we actually teach someone’s golf style? From what I’ve seen, there is a matching principle, but mainly everyone is different. Happy wackeldoodling. 😎

Todd... thank you for all that you do on this channel..because i am a believer of you kindness to help us duffers... i am on the road to the greatness of you and Moe ..lots to do but step by step is working with big improvements..Question...the practice board that you use i beleive for alignment, foot position and ball position... is it attainable through mail or otherwise?? I think it would be a enormous help to your followers...even if came as a paper print out that can used...thank you so much for your time and kindness..

Great video Todd. Thank you

I love all your videos Todd. Going to try and make it to a clinic this Spring!

Some things just "click" .. I've been a moe disciple for a long time. I've never thought of the release in this way. Great video. I've been swinging as hard as I want no hook.

This is great stuff, thank you!

excellent video!!!

istván :excellent video!!!

outstanding explanation .>>> I WILL GIVE YOU 5 stars!! btw.. .Mike Austin said similar, that IT WAS not a roll over!

I'm currently a rotational style golfer. Also I'm 71 and dont have the same flexibility I use to have. This seems to be an answer for some of my issues. Some simple drills would be very helpful to aid in the transition to a single plane method.

Outstanding!

It feels like I'm really reaching for the ball at address which leaves the club sitting a bit off on the ground. Do you need to adjust lie angles to be able to address the ball in the one plane swing?

Thanks Todd. I always had trouble with this On the back swing when you are cocking your wrist, then on the downswing when you release the wrist, are you then not inclined to roll the wrist?

Thanks, Todd!

@Todd - In your early days of learning before and perhaps with Moe, did you practice unhinging of the right forearm and de-cocking of the wrist? Also, it's my observation with you and Moe that in addition to the torso turning, the mass of the club head contributes to the forearms rolling over and touching, instead of a conscience decision to flip or roll, would you say that's accurate? thanks!

I have always struggled with the mechanics of right hand from the back swing to impact. I can't figure out how it gets from palm forward-ish at the backswing to square at the ball. It almost looks to me like some kind of a right handed Karate strike. Wish I could get past that. Thanks for the videos Todd

Chip and pitch shot please: i'm stuck between the one plane swing for "long" shot and these ones

Hi Mr Graves , I have a question on the right wrist. Did Moe Normans right wrist flex sideways only with no cocking upwards motion ? Like throwing a ball sideways ...

Hi Todd:Trail arm sunny side up,arm and wrist are still bent at impact due to body turning:at impact trail arm is sunny side up. Best wishes to all at Graves

Thank You

This is the part that I really need help with. I love getting my trail hand more under the club as if I'm skipping a rock. My fingers end up somewhere between facing down and facing straight back. Is this the correct position?

What about the lead hand Todd? I assume there is some rotation in the lead hand? Thanks.

Todd I love you, you are both so good and so bad for the golf world, good in the sense that you are going to bring so many more people to loving the game, but club manufacturers are not going to like you, because once you show people how easy it is to hit the ball straight with their old clubs, they will not need the newest $400 driver. I applaud you though, please, and I mean this, pretty please keep up the good work.

Love and believe in your channel! Do I need to dump my interlocking grip?

Your the man 💪 ty

How about some uphill downhill work. And then there are those Cobra etc one lengths to think about. I use them. Fewer setups - all are 7 irons. Less complicated seemingly. I’d like your thoughts.

Hey Todd, when Moe talks about playing thru the course and not around it, does that have a primary effect on the release? Or what is he referencing when he says that?

I use a single lenth iron, 6 thru sand wedge. I understand fully your instruction and Mr. Norman's swing, however you have never explained a subtlety. When you place the clubhead away from the ball, the face is open to the target but 90 degrees to the path it will take on the downswing. How do you prevent hitting pushes and not hitting draws or straight shots without some sort of 'covering' or release during impact? David 🐈

I saw an interview with Arnold Palmer where he said he tried to keep the club square to the plane and down the line as long as possible all the way through. I think this is why Arnold had the follow through that he did.

Still with a one piece take away until right arm bends?

Todd my name is Rocky Bowlby a teaching pro out of Salt Lake City Utah and I was wondering are you looking at the club placed behind the ball or the back of the ball at address and at impact?

Can you talk about how to achieve the proper right hand position on the club?

what are some good drills to do

THANKS TODD. QUESTION WHAT'S YOUR SWING THOUGHT AS YOU COME BACK AND START YOUR DOWNSWING ????

Amazing and amazing how long Moe and Tiger keep the club square for some extra, say what looks like 1-2 feet...

Mo had a wide stance, my father a scratch golfer had a wide stance and was always known for his ability to find fairways and greens in regulation. I'm more slender than my father and have been confused about stance width and felt that there is no "one" proper stance width given our physical characteristics may dictate different stance widths.......Is there a way to determine a optimal stance width, or do you feel wider is better? Ed Swartz

Todd, I am new to this and have been working allot on the set up and release. The only issue I have is that while trying to keep the right foot on the ground causes a bit of discomfort in my hip so I have bring my trail heel off the ground a bit. Is this something you have dealt with?

As a student of the game,I have a great deal of interest in golf instruction.There are several clearly different methods of striking a golf ball,from Mike Austin to Moe ,to me these two are at the extremes as one promotes rotate and slap and the other no rotation thru the strike position. I can do both and I find Moes swing for me best 6 thru SW and Austin 5 thru driver. I would appreciate feedback.

Please make videos about short irons using single plane golf.

Did Moe ever consciously think about what his hands were doing through impact? Like a neutral or "holding off" feeling? Hogan once said that any swing where he "felt" his hands at impact usually resulted in a bad shot.

I'm thinking about converting over to single plane, what's the time frame on learning the swing & seeing results

I guess Moe using the term catching rain drops does not apply here? he also clearly also had a full lead hand palm up at the release.

Excellent clarification. So, in other words, the palms of the hands have completed the release of the club from its lag position upon the impact and stay kinda inactive afterwards. What about how the downswing starts. Do the hands/arms try to drop downwards the handle or try to rotate it; A video on that would be interesting.

Is there a video on uneven lies?

Do you recommend special clubs as in the early “Natural Golf” days? Thanks

Great

I have noticed with this golf swing there are hardly any divots taken? Is that normal?

This is another example of more than one way to "skin a cat". Moe had a semi supinated right hand on the grip, where as Ben Hogan discusses an overlaping pronated right hand on the grip in his book "5 Lessons". My personal issue is that ive always been a hand flipper from my baseball playing days and when i use the Moe Norman grip i tend to keep my right hand "open" at impact, thus resulting in slices. Any ideas or cues on how to correct this bad habit? Thanks.

I think if you had showed a close up view of the grip in detail it would have tied in with this message.

It seems to me the "release" is the point of relaxation and lack of tension in the wrist.

Omg, finally someone understood what I been trying to explain to all my friends. For the last 8 years, they all trying to figure out how my driver always hit the fairway 90% of the time. I kept saying, my trail hand pinky and it’s a body swing. I never understood it myself and it goes against all the PGA lessons. My trail hand never flip over when I have a semi strong grip. I don’t know much about Moe swing, but what Todd Graves is saying make sense to me. Can’t wait to send link to my bros. Ty sir

I've been trying the single plain swing . I'm snap hooking everything. Any ideas?

@toddgraves how much are lessons.

Todd how’s your game

Went to the range; rehearse the your single. Plane swing. Using a wedge all I hit were ground balls💩💩 The question is must I keep most of weight on the led leg???

I never hit another plane.l just hit single plane only from the begining untill now.

How can I have good follow through i am 69 years old guy

IS IT TRUE THAT MOE HAD ALL HIS CLUBS THE SAME SIZE ????????

Trail hand stays square to path.

Had a really good single plane range session today - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qpiVgqyimcXcdX0.html

Ok 👌 I think I roll my right arm cause I hit a draw with a single plane

Renew passport

THE SAME LENGTH ??????

I hit 1,000 balls every day.l do like moe norman.
