The Real Single Plane Golf Swing - "Little Moe" explains

http://www.moenormangolf.com - A narrative by "Little Moe" Todd Graves on the simplicity, effectiveness and similarity of Moe Norman's Single Plane golf swing to tour players, including Tiger Woods. For those currently practicing Moe Norman's swing, this is a great review of the basic concepts.

The Graves Golf Academy is the world's foremost authority on the swing of Moe Norman, a man regarded by many as the world's greatest ballstriker. Moe Norman told a reporter in an interview that Todd Graves, aka "Little Moe", was the ONLY person who could teach his (Norman's) swing. Moe's quote, "(Todd) is only one who really knows it. Really knows it. Other guys just think they do.". See www.swinglikemoe.com or www.moenormangolf.com for more information

y would u not want to copy tiger woods swing??

[GravesGolfAcademy]

@Pez0023 - Which Tiger swing? There have been 3-4 iterations now.

@ GravesGolfAcademy

I wonder how the body responds to this...do you find that your players have less golf related injuries???

[GravesGolfAcademy]

@Motown025

Yes, often players find us after suffering through injury, and Moe's swing, as it is easier on the body, allows them to no longer suffer pain and injury.

Why Moe Norman was so good?

He is the only golfer who never even tought about changing anything in is swing, he repeated the exact same motion each and everytime, his secret is not in his swing, it's in how he praticed.

[GravesGolfAcademy]

@mssgolfnut - It's all about achieving impact correctly, and most touring professionals are able to achieve impact with enough competence to get the ball around the course.

If they employed the mechanics of Moe's move, they, like you, would get to impact more consistently every time.

This swing made my drives go from 200-250 to 250-310

What i think im seeing is that a small fraction of people who play golf think that this is a "better" way of swinging because it is an easier way. If it were so great, then every pro golfer would use it. Also, how are you supposed to shape shots with a swing like this.

[mxlevi456]

The main reason of the academy is to reduce the stress on the back that is produced with a two-plane golf swing. If there is no stress on the back, increased flexibility is not needed and it is just easier to return the club back in the same spot by reducing stress on the back.

I don't care what any of the golf "purists" say, this swing works. I sucked for years at golf, and my dad was no better. We switched to Moe's swing (at least in terms of setup) and both had our best ball striking game ever the very first weekend we tried it.  I don't think I'll be going back to my old swing any time soon...

[GravesGolfAcademy]

In regards to a trade off of distance using the swing, it simply isn't the case. It's all about ideal club movement, and allows your body to produce speed AND accuracy. Many of our students actually increase distance and accuracy.

Thanks again.
