You Should Know Moe - Graves Golf Academy

[chriskeenan1]

Golfers will buy anything that they feel will improve their game. Wether it be an expensive bit of kit, or an idea dreampt up by someone as the SECRET of golf. Always remember, if the people spouting this bull were any good at the game, they would be house-hold names, and making a fortune on tour. Instead, they make a fortune out of the fanciful notion that they have knowledge of the SECRET of golf. Buyer beware.

I feel that each choice has its own difficulties so I would like to seek your opinion. If I were to putt or hit a bump and run shot my distance control has to be perfect and its tough because the fairways are not aerified and verticut so the grass may be irregular the lob shot takes these difficulties out of play but its difficult to hit a lob shot because of the small margin of error so I would like to seek your opinon on this as I come across these situations in competitions

[rickysmith122]

Hi Graves Golf Academy, just to seek your opinion on a particular situation. I have short sided myself on an elevated green on the wrong side meaning that there is only a few green of feet to work with between the fringe and the pin. Which of these options do you think is most ideal?

1) Run the ball up the bank with a putter

2) Bump and run the shot

3) Lob the ball over the fringe and get it to stop

he is still a legend though!

[BoHoVsGolf]

slower swing + perfect contact = greatness faster swing + poor contact = not so great....

What ever happened to Count Yogi?

[Yoohoo2949]

This is one of the most compelling youtube videos (or commericals) I have ever seen.

Love the Q&A format of it. Music fits well too.

Well done guys. Will check out the website.

Natural golf is just a scam to get you to buy ther clubs. It leaves you with NO touch for your short game where 60% of your shots are played.

[GravesGolfAcademy]

This is not Natural Golf.

[timlin0607]

umm....I still see 2 planes.

This swing may have worked wonderfully for him but it won't work for most people. Everyone has a different swing and as long as the impact is correct, it doesn't matter how you swing it.

[GravesGolfAcademy]

When you look at address and impact, they are on the same plane - This is what we refer to as single plane.

[GravesGolfAcademy]

You should have copied Moe and not Tiger.

[GravesGolfAcademy]

OF course you are not Moe, but his swing mechanics are the most simple swing plane in golf - THAT is what you should copy.

[newtonsrock]

In recent years I slipped from a 5 handicap to a 12 and began freezing at the top of my backswing. Over the last 2 weeks I have taken on the single plane swing and it has completely transformed my game, I have not lost distance and am hitting the ball so solidly. I am sure that I will be in single figures again soon.Thanks for posting this video!

[FreshPrinceCTZ]

Also all the footage we have of Moe is when he is out of shape and old with limited flexibility. I want to see Moe when he was 20 years old...when his backswing went past parallel and his left foot came up in the backswing. Also on the downswing Moe's right foot would slide coming into impact and his right foot would quickly come up right after impact. Moe has the perfect golf swing for accuracy and distance

[FreshPrinceCTZ]

In the 1986 Moe Norman clinic I recall Moe saying he could hit it 30 yards farther but he choose not to because he couldn't control his ball. So I know Moe was capable of hitting the ball at least 285 by today's standards. You have to remember Moe wasn't a tall athletic guy either like Tiger,Camilio,Ernie ect...I believe if a good athlete like Tiger or Adam Scott were to swing like Moe they would become a better ballstriker without any loss of distance.

[FreshPrinceCTZ]

Moe hit the ball as far as his body would allow him to. Moe's clubhead speed was around 105 when he was 65 years old. I don't know too many guys in there 60's who can poke it out there 250. Moe never tried to kill the ball out there 300 either because he didn't want to waste his energy. Accuracy and percision will always outway the bomb and gouge theory.

[dlqjsdud]

but... if we swing like Moe... we probably lose the distance... don't you think??

[toddmoe1]

No loss of distance. That is just a rumor and bad information.

[dlqjsdud]

wel.. think about it.. because he doesn't turn much shouder and he doesn't have a lot of transition as like tiger ... i mean.. if we swing like him, we should have strong arms...

[toddmoe1]

Like I said, Lack of understanding of the golf swing would lead to your conclusion. I do recommend being healthy and strong for any sport however and it does help in golf.

[Scottgas3]

That first swing (? '59 Masters) Should be put on a loop so we all can study the swing made by a flexible young Moe.

[Maisman91]

awsome.. just awsome

[mentblank]

what is this song called

[vietomatic]

Where's the music from?

[moenorman99]

moe hit it maximum distance for his swing speed. You dont lose distance swinging like moe did, that is a myth,as i said before when you understand his swing you start to understand that you can hit it just as far as a conventional swing

[moenorman99]

yeah the first step is understanding

[deviljon]

Wow. I tried a moe norman style swing just dinking around the other day and I didn't get a great amount of length but it held a beautiful line, I might have to try and just swing like that all the time.

[gkirn]

Excellent! Sometimes the text or picture didn't remain long enough, but that didn't distract from the overall informative video. Fantastic!

[neoalexy2k]

moe is a beast no1 could ever touch him
