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.

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.

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.

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

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 **** 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?

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

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.

The reason I switched to a “single plane” golf swing is Butch Harmon on an interview when Tiger was changing his golf swing. Butch said Tiger was hitting over 1000 balls a day and unless you were doing that you cant hit a pro-golf shot. so I searched for a simpler way and found it, i’m no scratch golfer but I can play less often 3-5 times a year and score under 100 every time. I count every shot and play every lie.

If you understand golf swing mechanics based on body movement and club movement, this is the only way to swing a golf club. Tiger Woods swing is great no doubt, he is on plane. It is all about swing plane and the simple way to swing the club on plane. Moe was unique..agreed..but he figured out the golf swing. That is a fact.
