Works well with driver making it easier to hit up on the ball for greater distance. I have used it playing at times when my swing gets out of sync.
Would this work with a driver
Great tip. Thx Ron
Love this video, explains and matches up the mechanics of the full swing!
Good to see a coach embracing Mo Norman ideas about the Golf swing, starting the backswing 610 inches behind the ball eliminates so many takeaway mistakes. More amateur's should adopt the one plane swing as well.
It is really a controlled block. Feels so solid when done properly. I had a lesson years ago about a controlled block and it was magic.
I liked your descriptions, comments and descriptions of Moe Norman'S swing- found it the best description of why he always seemed sideways when he addressed the ball. In upstate New York I still have plenty of time to work on your suggestions.
I take it a little further of what you describe. I get into setup, hinge wrists as you briefly describe. With eliminating takeaway, wrist angle set I simply turn shoulders and let it go. Started out as a drill now I’ve incorporated it into my playing swing with takeaway to the wrist angle set a brief pause and then shoulder turn to a 3/4 top of swing then down.
Hi Russell, I watched all Moe's video's many years ago and tried/persevered with the swing – It was great when it worked, but many a time it would not, so I had to go back to the common golfers swing to save face! But it was nice seeing you taking notice of the great man!
the reason Moe held his club well behind the ball was that he was once told, "most errors in golf are made in the first 12" of the backswing"…so he took "out" the error by starting well behind the ball…so he said…
Dang…it looks SO easy watching you.
Fantastic. I'm a very visual learner and the stick showing the rotation of the chest matching the club path after impact is spot on. A new subscription for me to follow.
simply very good
when you set up like Moe your lead wrist is in a flatter position now you only need to hinge upwards no wonder he hit it so straight 🙂
Wow Russel. Your way of teaching really brings it home for me. Great tallent. Going to the indoor range tonight to try this out. Many thanks and keep ‘‘em coming 😊 🏌️♂️
Close to the A swing move away ? David LEADBETTER
Tip. When I watch instruction improvement videos. I notice many instructors start off by showing the wrong way. I don't want to know the wrong way first. Show me the CORRECT way first so I know what to do right before I know what to do wrong.
Russell, this is wrong.
The reason Moe’s clubhead was behind the ball is due to two factors:
1) sidebend
2) club pointed to the pivot point
Moe fixed the special problem of the golf swing, that is, he established himself on the impact plane by the two factors I previously mentioned.
You’re just taking a conventional approach without sidebend and standing too close to the ball and artificially placing the arms behind the ball. Because of this you don’t actually get the benefits of the physics of the single plane swing. Meaning, you don’t get the extension which is related to pivot point, and you don’t get a golf swing which is actually returning to the single plane, or, impact plane. You see this in the fact that your trail foot still lifts. It has to because you’re still in a conventional set up too close to the ball and addressed underneath your impact plane. You can prove this to yourself by looking at the difference between your address and impact, you will see a lift of the shaft which means you are under the single plane and not where Moe was.
70 percent of what moe did was in the address, it’s scientifically measurable to the single plane and that cascades certain effect throughout the motion which the conventional swing just doesn’t have. Im sorry but what you’re showing is not at all what moe did.
Way too much yap yap yap! You make a simple golf swing soooooooo fukn complicated! BARF
I wish you would refrain from the clickbait titles and instead use meaningful descriptions.
That is so bad!!………….that is no way what MOE does! IT"S people like you the reason why golfers never get better!!
Vid I watched yesterday was all about not bending the trail arm too much and keeping it wide in the downswing. Gotta love golf!!!
why do not not see any professional golfers on tour doing this. that is the question you should be asking. why!?!?!?!?! why is this move not incorporated in any set up, pre-swing, or regular swing of any player on the PGA Tour, The LPGA Tour, The Champions Tour, The DP Tour or the Korn Ferry Tour or the any other professional golf tour on planet earth Tour?????!??!?!?
Might be a good reason there amigo. DId Moe play on tour? How much money did Moe make on tour. YOU HAVE TO WIN ON TOUR TO MAKE MONEY AND LAST
So much yak yak yak. Just get to the point
I saw Moe once and he was definitely an oddity. He had a bristly personality not wasting words on niceties. He didn’t look like a prototypical golfer, as he was not very tall, and stocky, almost pudgy. But boy he could hit a golf ball straight down the fairway!
OK, I'll sort of do that.
Good work on the facial hair! Makes your instruction seem to have more oomph. Like, "That beard would not mislead me!"
Moe Norman was so good and accurate that he never won anything.
This is not a drill as you propose. It's the single plane swing which for those who aren't caught up in the macho golf ego b.s. will benefit from. I went to the single plane swing years ago and improved my accuracy and lowered my score significantly. It's a break with the traditional golf swing that weekend golfers will never master. You also have to have the guts to utilize this principle without allowing the golfers around you to scorn you for attempting something new. Dedicate yourself to the single plane swing and let you golf scores do the talking.
The title may sound like click bait, but it is not.
I started out with the traditional swing, and after 6 months of practice and help from my friend with a 2hdcp I simply could not make it all work – too many things to go wrong. I nearly quit golfing, I'd spent so much money and time and could barely even play. I came across a Moe video around that time and got curious. Next thing I know, I'm 6 months down the road and my handicap has dropped by 14 strokes, from +28 to +14. My buddies were very interested to know how I had managed that, and were actually surprised that the single plane swing actually works, most thought it was a gimmick. They think I dropped 14 strokes in 6 months because I'm either lying or have a natural talent, but neither of those things are the case – I'm actually just a regular dude that found the easiest way to swing the club, but that's a hard thing to accept when you've always thought that the traditional swing was the only way to get an optimal strike.
(IMO, the traditional swing is inefficient and too complex. Just because it's possible to execute and lots of people do it well, doesn't necessarily lead to the conclusion that there's no other method that could produce better results while requiring less energy and reducing strain on the body)
I stopped doing this many years ago. This… is a good way to screw your back up…
You may as well use the entire Single Plane method. You see how impossibly complicated you have made the golf swing? I can show ANYONE the single plane in 2 minutes and after 3 swings your hitting the ball dead straight.
This is a great lesson! I can slice with The Greatest!!
This will help a lot
John Erickson talked about this drill. I started doing it last year. It's a fantastic drill. John knew and played with Moe in Canada.
Thanks for sharing. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Norman at a course not 5 kilometers from home. He was an amazing ball striker – SO pure – effortless!
Congrats on getting to 100k. Started watching your videos last fall,really enjoyed them. I have learned quite a lot. I have same problem with slower swing that you have. Sucks getting older. I would love to try the Callaway driver if I would be picked. Thank you, and thanks for all your videos.
This one is a game changer!! Thanks so much, you’re a legend🙏
Sama apply to driver ? Thanks
I never make it more than half way through your videos, you start well, it seems like it’s going to be interesting but then it gets bogged down and you lose me.
What I've been doing lately is when I've set up my club and I bought my hands forward I bring the club face back so my hands are at the level of the ball and striking like that. I've seen a massive improvement in accuracy and distance by making this change. Moe Norman has been right all along.
I think this might be one of the best drills to feel the slot I've seen yet!!
I know these golf videos are free but i wish all they would say is 1.do this 2. Do this 3.do this and as they are saying it demonstrate it. Thats all. I think all these videos are designed to confuse so everyone continues to watch.
tooooo repetitive get on w it my man
