Moe Norman knew the easiest way to strike a golf ball. He shared this information with me years ago. Now I want to share it with you.

In this video, I discuss the proper lead hand and lead arm pulling action vs. the trail hand throwing motion.
About the Single Plane Golf Swing
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.
I'm 39 years old and been following Todd and Moe for 18 months now and just got my FIRST EVER HOLE IN ONE yesterday with the SINGLE PLANE SWING after 26 years of playing amateur tournament golf. Thank you Todd for the hundreds of videos that I've watched the past 18 months to transform my knowledge and understanding of the swing! R.i.p MOE!
I’m 76 years old and been following Todd and MOE for 20 months ❤ l’m watch every day this single plane swing I’m progress now better and better Todd you an incredible gift of teaching. I hope to open one owed single plane teaching school in Belgium if you liked ❤l' m 🙏
I just stumbled onto Moe's story and I am 49. I literally watched 4 videos of moe and hit the ball better than people I know have hit for 20yrs. Such a great human and I thank you for carrying his legacy forward as it should be. Great humans find other great humans. I am inspired to play a lot of golf from now on.
It’s quite the rabbit hole to go down isn’t it lol love moe just afraid to fully commit to switch swing lol
My dad knew now Norman and said he’s the best player to ever live, I met him when I was 10 such a gentleman rip ❤
Oh Todd! We are so blessed to have you! Your deep thoughts and incite into this, now "YOUR SWING" is just amazing! Moe is smiling down on you!
Todd I realize why you are not on tour, God gave you an incredible gift of teaching. You must enjoy it, you do it so well. The detail you give has helped me incredibly. I have a bent left arm (broke), and I was ready to give up golf. Because of you, I am able to hit a ball like my arm isn't broke. It is fun again to go play golf for the first time in 40 years. The single plane swing really gives me confidence I can play decent. Thank you so much! Last time out, I was mesmerized how well I played. It was unbelievable.
Awesome video Todd. No instructor to my knowledge explaines things better than you. Keep it up.
Thanks, will do!
This is a brilliant demonstration of the single plane swing so lucidly explained. Thanks a million Todd. Now I just have to practice a million times to train my brain and body to synchronize.😊
Great job illustrating a complicated kinesiology lesson! Having the club head square at wall (ball) impact changes the rotation of the club in my left hand at address. I will be trying this tomorrow!
“I almost sounded like somebody that knew something there…” Yes, Todd, you do actually know a lot. 🙂Thanks for going deeper than ever today with the technical explanation of the motion. When to enter/exit radial deviation was still a mystery to me. Mystery solved! Thank you sir.
Todd, this is an incredible video. I have been doing the single plane for a couple of years and still need improvement. Your tips in this video, with regards to your lead hand movement in the backswing and using this lead arm to pull the club through to impact was what i was missing. I went to the range tonight and i was hitting the best i ever have. My goal is to just be consistent with it. Thank you for sharing this video and the tips. I so want to continue improving. You rock!!
I really enjoy your videos. It really makes the swing understandable.
One of your best videos yet! This is the detailed info that I have been looking for for years. It’s just really direct on each hand and in great depth!
Awesome, thank you!
Since I stopped trying to figure out this swing....... I've been playing the best golf of my life.
Great.
thanks, Todd. "you can't come over it..." Great stuff
Absolutely Brilliant explanation Todd.. In simple terms this video is a must for All golfers who are struggling to strike a Golf Ball correctly...Many Many Thanks Todd from your UK followers.👌
To me, the "heel leads the toe" is essentially the "skipping the rock feeling". And yes, because the trail hand is non-rotational you get the face very open to the path in the downswing. Normally this would require a tremendous amount of timing to square it up at impact but the purpose, or one of the purposes, of the SP setup (grip/stance) is to insure that the face automatically squares at impact. In fact, I was watching a video with Todd and a gentleman from Canada who switched from a more conventional to the SP swing and Todd mentioned that one of the toughest things he had to teach him was that you get compression by coming down with that face open and having it square at the last minute rather than come down with a face more closed to the path. At least, that's what I THINK is going on. :)
What a great explanation of the mechanics Todd. I can't wait to come to one of your schools- but I have to get my back to cooperate with that. Goals....
Todd your the first person I have “ seen” onRUclips that fully explained the swing as thorough as you did. Outstanding! Todd, if people paid attention to you they would only need one lesson. You better stop or pros will be upset they have no students.😅. Nice explanation.
Great video!
Have been watching and practicing Todd’s single plain swing on my second time on the golf course I shot for nine holes 42 having 18 putts so now sorting my putting out 🤣😂 will certainly be staying we this method
Great to hear.
Bryson DeChambeau and Steve Stricker are two touring pros that are close to what Moe did plane and hand wise. Just watched Steve Sticker on the Champions tour win the U.S. Senior PGA last week and then this week finished 2nd at the Principal Charity Classic. The man is $1M dollars ahead of everyone else on that tour this year for Schwab Cup points. If you watch his swing, it has a lot of similarity to Moe's swing.
Good stuff 🏌🏾♂️
For me the lateral pulling of the lead hand and arms first starts with the lateral movement of my knees just as Moe said. And generally speaking at set up as I drop my club head inches away from my ball as Moe did the heel of my club is more favoring directly in front of my ball as opposed to placing my club head perpendicular directly in front of the ball as I did before just before I swing my club back and forth through my ball.
Also as Moe said the left side of the fairway is no longer an issue to me as their is no more spinning my hips or shoulders out of control as I did in a conventional settings up to my ball. Cheers 🥂👌👍😊
Hey Todd-I love what you’re doing and greatly appreciate your dedication to learning from Moe.
I’d love for you to define “efficient” as it relates to the body/mechanism. I take it as efficient =easiest. Or simplest. Ultimately efficient =minimizing the range of motion of the body/mechanism it takes to strike the ball purely. Is that correct? The less the range of motions are manipulated, the more consistent your ball striking will be.
Am I correct?
Awesome stuff Todd thank you 🤙🏽
Thanks.
Hi Todd
I was curious how does Moe’s swing differ from Matt Kutcher’s swing. Both are flat both rotate around the body. It seems as if Matt’s grip is very strong. Am I correct in assuming both men kept the club face facing the ball and go inside immediately on the back swing.
My big miss is always a push.
I am asking because I have come to a crossroads and either this will work or I will pack it in. I at one time got down to an 8 but have been lost in weeds ever since bout 9 years and I love the game but am not going to continue as I am currently. Am a 14 HC currently. I just cannot get off the tee. Helping hint if you can.
Big Thanks for your common sense teaching.

Hi Todd. Does the " pulling" of the lead arm through impact require a conscious movement of the back/shoulders or does the "pulling" occur automatically as a result of correct body positions. In other words is a swing thought needed during the transition. My query is a little difficult to put into coherent words, apologies
Hello my name is Theo I'm from South Africa i really enjoy your teaching please can you explain why I'm topping i use the single plain swing it's been working great for me something has crept in my single plain swing do you have a video or a awnser for this you are a great teacher bless you for giving back your knowledge
Theo. I would love to help. You can send videos to us from South Africa. My amazing Single Plane coaching team will help. Email me at toddg@gravesgolf.com.
@@ToddGravesGolf Thank you for your response i will as soon as I get to a driving range
Very interesting video as always! I’m wondering about the term, pulling of the left arm. How can you pull without the arm bending? You can offset the force created by rotation but is that pulling with the left arm? When we talk about pushing with the right arm, it’s straitening.
You pull with the pulling muscles of back and shoulder as you turn. This pulls the upper arm.
Ive just turned fifty follow all content hoping and praying it all goes well
so if I am pull/hooking I should weaken the grip a bit to prevent clubface coming through closed to the target?
yes
@@ToddGravesGolf I've been watching your videos for weeks and after shooting 100 twice in a row, after about 30 years of bad golf (the best I got was around a 12 handicap 20 years ago), I decided to practice the single plane on the range today. Holy cow it was amazing! I don't think I've ever hit that many balls pure in a practice session, probably 80 to 90 percent. Normally I'll hit about 120 balls and be worn out - today I hit 200 and felt like I could have hit 200 more. At 54 and a little overweight I don't have the range of motion to full send my swing like I used to, this is great for a shorter swing. And the funny thing is, I am not really losing any distance on my irons, maybe 5% on my woods. I was debating whether or not I wanted to continue given my declining physical ability but this give me hope that I may break 90 again soon. Thanks. btw love the stories about Moe.
After experimenting with really only half the swing( back) for a few weeks now I’d have to say it’s had a positive affect on my hitting driver. Only one problem. It seems to put a lot more strain on my forearms to the point where the under side of my forearms turned black and blue after only one week of hitting some practice balls and only one round of golf. So my guess is holding the arms straight out as opposed to closer to the torso puts more strain on them. Possible I just over did it especially since I’ve not played recently for quite sometime. Anyone else experience this?
Shouldn't put more stress on the arms. Actually less stress. You must be doing it incorrectly. Consider joining my 30-day training program at www.gravesgolf.com/sp30.
Thanks for the reply. Interesting
I will
Moe left handed playing right gave him more control with his lead hand/side correct?
If you are Right handed, you will have to learn to be lead (left) sided.
u have to remember "soft hands",,,, so u dont block or stiffen up at impact
Not sure if I'm correct here, but isn't it also called lag?
Yes, lag is a term that nobody understands. So I explain it here as the sequence of the pelvis, torso, arms, hands,
The title is incorrect. You might want fix it.
Got it thx
@@ToddGravesGolf Please inform author Daniel Coyle that there are some technical problems on his website. I can show you some example.
@@rashedulkabir6227 Yes. You would have to send me the problem. Toddg@gravesgolf.com
Heel leading the toe?! Seems like a very open clubface to me. Difficult to square up especially with the driver
Club is too open. Difficult to square for me.
Club is actually square. Something else is going on.
Basically, what Hogan was doing.
