Everything Moe did was for the purpose of simplifying impact, the most important moment of the golf swing. Moe's goal was consistency.
In this video, I discuss how and why Moe Norman placed the club up to 12 inches behind the ball at address to simplify the golf swing. He often said "Everyone should do this, they would be better".

In the mid-90s, I was a young and ambitious golfer when I had the incredible fortune of crossing paths with Moe Norman, the greatest ball-striker the world has ever seen. Moe, with his unconventional wisdom and unique approach to the game, took me under his wing. From 1994 to 2004, I embarked on a journey of discovery and transformation, learning the intricacies of Moe's revolutionary single plane golf swing.
His lessons were often cryptic, shrouded in mystery, and they challenged everything I thought I knew about golf-and myself. Moe’s teachings weren’t just about mastering a swing; they were about unlocking a deeper connection to the game, one rooted in simplicity, precision, and an unwavering belief in oneself.
As I struggled to decipher Moe's cryptic wisdom, I began to realize that the secrets of the single plane swing were far more profound than I had ever imagined. They held the key to a consistent and effortless golf swing, a way of playing that defied conventional wisdom and had the potential to revolutionize the sport.
Driven by a newfound purpose, I dedicated my life to unraveling the mysteries of Moe Norman's teachings. I became a torchbearer for Moe’s legacy, determined to share this knowledge with the world. Through my relentless pursuit, I not only perfected the single plane swing but also transformed the lives of countless golfers, helping them achieve a level of consistency and confidence they never thought possible.
This is my story-from a student to a master, from a pupil to a prophet-and my mission to carry forward the wisdom of a golfing genius whose teachings continue to inspire and challenge the world of golf.
The Single Plane golf swing is not a quick fix golf technique. It is a system, beginning at address, that simplifies the most important moment of the golf swing - impact.
Starting at address on two planes where the arms hang straight down at address, the Conventional golf swing is complicated. Because the arms are hanging straight down, a conventional golfer must lift the body into impact creating stress on the back.
This upward movement to accommodate the two planes is unnecessary.
The Single Plane Golf swing simplifies the golf swing by eliminating the need for the upward movement by starting and impacting on the same plane.
4:35 - 100% spot on. If you naturally extend that shaft along the arm and forearm, it'll create a straight line and the clubhead will fall BEHIND the ball. In other words, DON'T BREAK THE LEAD WRIST. Don't fight it, just trust it.
I’m curious, if all of those famous golfers thought Moe was the best, why didn’t any of them copy his swing and why is there almost nobody on tour using it?
If you’d honed your swing after a lifetime and were making a living as a professional, it’s a huge risk to completely change your swing which would take months which would mean months without income on the chance you might be better than you were. Too big a risk
When kids start learning this swing you’ll see a glut on tour 20 years later.
Deschambeau does!
He’s the only one I know of.
It's also what hurt Moe when he went to the Masters. He took some lessons from Snead, worked on it until his hands were bleeding. When he should swing his swing.
20-40 years ago Billions of kids on all continents learned to play golf with the conventional swing. Only a tiny percentage ever become professional and even less on the US PGA tour
If half those billions of kids learned Moes swing there’d be plenty of professionals and on tour.
The Fosbury flop is a great example of something once unconventional becoming the norm
A guy like Moe who hits over a thousand balls a day must obviously find what we have all been looking for! He is sadly missed in todays golfing world! RIP Moe!
Outstanding presentation!! ...............I am already in my back swing!!
Thank you.
Got to say Tod looks like you have slimmed down considerably, you’re looking great. Once again great insight into Moe’s thinking..
Yes. I've dropped 35lbs. Feel great. Thanks for noticing and thanks for the comments.
Hi Todd I’m a new subscriber.
I’m a left handed golfer. Apart from watching your videos in a mirror, do you have any instructions for us lefties? I don’t get out to play much, but want to improve and develop a single plane swing.
Thanks for making these videos for us all.
Moe's lefthand grip is a finger grip, but his right hand grip is a palm grip, the combination of which allows a natural transition to impact. You need less effort!
5:35 - Rotation will drag the lead shoulder back behind you, forcing the lead arm (wrist, hand) forward in the "down the line" direction. It's a thing of beauty. When done right, you don't have to rework anything, the rotation will deliver the clubhead bang on and the ball will fly straight. Occasionally it may pull a tad bit, but that improves the more you do it. At my best I would pull it maybe a yard left and get about 240-ish on my senior shaft driver. I could repeat this over and over again. Sometimes I would hit it so good I could land the ball in nearly the same spot 240 yards away. On days when the wind was blowing a little I knew I could just aim a little into the wind and let it ride right back on line.
Very smart by Moe. And you really explains it well !
6:20 - Beautiful golf swing. As good as ever Todd, very nice!
Todd does the same principle apply to chipping and pitching?
I want to know does Moes swing work on uneven lies. Uphill, downhill,higher,lower? Ny course you rarely get a flat lie?👍
Yes it does
Bonjour Todd, merci, j'adore ce que vous expliquez concernant ce que faisait Moe Norman, il était le bon sens inée. J'aimerais tellement avoir les moyens ($) de venir passer quelques jours avec vous au sein de votre académie, j'ai toujours compris que le swing de Moe était d'une logique implacable, je partage votre point de vue, c'était un GÉNIE.
Love to have you come to the Academy. Email me a toddg@gravesgolf.com and lets make that happen.
A great tip for anyone!
@Todd Graves. Thanks again for the great videos Todd. Again i have to admit something, i have been fighting Moe's positions, I don't know if it's because of all the previous standard swing type methods i was using for many years or we have mind blocks of some kind. I finally kept the tilt and obviously, this means the club is going to start behind the ball, distance behind depending on club. The ball striking is unbelievable now, even though it was fairly good while i was fighting Moe's tilt and club behind at setup position, now it is at a whole other level. Now i see why so many people will not try Moe's swing methods. The swing feels like your hanging on to a limb and you'll never get back to the ball and yet, the ball is struck powerfully and pure, as long as i pull sufficiently with my lead hand. Thanks again Todd, despite my stubbornness. peace love light Edit: forgot to mention, I'm using the 1.5 overlap grip.
4:17 - Yup yup, Body to Club! No re-adjusting to manufacturer shaft lean, for all practical purposes, it's already built into the set-up. I would advise new golfers to the SPS, to set-up, then just rotate from the start position a little forward and watch as the clubhead makes contact with the ball. Keep doing it and slowly lengthen the swing to a half swing. Almost guarantee they'll pure the ball straight as an arrow and probably hit almost as far as they do with their full swing.
“I’m not good at explaining this”
You do a great job, Todd - love the videos.
(And congrats on the weight loss!)
Great explanations! How about slices and draws?

todd, i've looked at and tried this type of swing several times over the years and all that you said makes a lot of sense. i'm gonna give it a try again, it does seem like a simpler action, thnx for the info.
Will this work if you don’t have a single plane swing
So how do you strike down on the irons?
Brilliant. I love it.
Moe was brilliant. Thanks.
@@ToddGravesGolf appreciate all this free knowledge you give, without you carrying the torch we would all be clueless to his magic!
Love this video. Can you use your regular clubs or do you need to get fitted before you start to learn this swing?
@jeremyhayes5579 look at Moe's clubs. His are so mis-matched it's hilarious.
So no, you don't need to be fitted.
This actually really helped my takeaway consistency today on the course hitting the most fairways and greens all year.
Todd look like you lost weight
Looking lean my friend
I believe he also said you should not swing like him. But there is plenty of things he did that can get incorporated into any swing and make it better .
I've learned that there are simple ways and more complicated ways to move the body. Moe found a simple way. I suggest using all of it because a swing is a summation not isolated mechanics. For example your hand rotation affects your arm rotation and your arm rotation affects your shoulder movement etc. I try to stay away from "tips" and stick to a model. I get better results that way.
@@ToddGravesGolf The "Moe-del" :)
So, my question is: "At address, with the club a foot behind the ball (driver), the club face is square to the line?"
