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

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...

You do realize, that is Tiger's old swing...He made a dramatic swing change for a reason.

Yes, we realize that. Funny that to relieve the stress on his left knee, Tiger now turns his left foot out at setup. Sounds like someone we know....

Thanks for your comments.

Hello. Thank you for posting the video:)

I've heard all the stories about Moe Norman...And there's no doubt that he is a legend. I hate to sound mean...But do you think that Moe's childhood trauma...was, perhaps, the reason why he developed an "unconventional" swing?

Watching your video...I cannot deny the simplicity of your swing theory. But...is there a trade off??? I mean...do you sacrifice distance...for accuracy...with your swing theory?

Thank you for your comments.

Moe's childhood trauma likely lead to his autistic like traits, one of which was an obsessive -compulsive behavior. He was obsessed with golf, and practiced it incessantly as a teen. He told us he had his move mastered at age 19.

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.

I am austistic myself, so I can tell that he is autistic, but hey, we autism golfers proved we are very specia.

The problem here is that it doesnt really matter what swing plane u have. Effective ballstriking is achieved primarily through good lower body control, not how the club is taken back by the hands and arms. If you were to watch all pros, you can easily find that their planes and positions vary, yet their lower body motion and position is largely similar.

Interesting theory, though I've never seen anyone hit the ball with their lower body.
