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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

i almost gave up on golf until i found natural golf. perhaps the pros should keep on with the conventional swing, but i sincerely believe that 95% of golfers would play better with this swing. it´s more accurate, more fun and easier to reproduce. another convert!

he was very good yes. he could hit balls off pop cans. one of the greatest of all time.

And what your trying to teach is a simpler more repeatable way for the avg. golfer to strike a golf ball, therefore improving their results within the game of golf. Because one plane equals one motion and less room for error, and a reduction of hand eye coordination in the middle of an action of motion involving speed.

Great video, that will help the masses……one important note is that instead of an analysis of the greatest player the game has ever seen, and sorta implying he is doing something wrong, might not be the best of ideas,when trying to compare the differences between their swings. What i have realized from your analysis is that, you need to get the “masses” ie avg golfers to understand, what a pro does is not wrong, just more complex and it takes a lot of talent to replicate a dual plane swing.

One of the best explanations of the single plane I have seen
