Decoding Moe Norman’s Grip & Hand Position

Moe Norman’s Grip is a controversial subject because many people get confused by holding the club into the “palms” of the hands. The problem that most instructors face is that you must consider body, arm and club face orientation as part of the hand position (Grip).

In this video, I discuss the much debatable subject – Moe’s Grip.

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.

    My drives are mostly straight but my 7 iron (short to mid irons) mostly high draw while trying to use the single plane. The ball flights seem good to me. Does this make sense and/or is it a problem?

    I have to thank you for what you have done for my game. I bought the books and foot boards and watched your videos. I am sure there is a final piece for everyone. For me it was learning to step into my shoe with the front foot to initiate the down swing. Thanks again for all you have done. This is clearly the best way to hit a golf ball consistently with a measure of confidence. As an added plus, my back never hurts as it usually did using the traditional method I was originally taught decades ago. As an aside, recently I was on the range in Southern California hitting balls and watched a promising female junior golfer. I wondered how long her somewhat frail, athletic body could possibly hold up as she went through clubs with her parents hovering over her. I have an MS in Sport Performance and so wanted to correct the traditional method she was using. Thanks for all you have done preserving the best way to safely hit a golf ball. All the best…

    I went out to the range today and for fun, I tried the overlap grip instead of my normal 10 fingers….wow, noticeably longer and straighter more often…..putting my trail pinky over my lead pointer finger seems to help keep my lead wrist from opening the face. And like you said, more of a feeling of “just clamps”. It felt like I had less swinging strength at first but I stuck with it and all of a sudden it felt natural and consistent.

    What about reverse overlap grip ? I have a bad habit of losing my grip. When I try regular overlap it hurts my left hand so I use baseball grip. I have stubby fingers with big palms. I wish you guys had classes in Portland Oregon. keep up the good work Todd moe would be proud of what you have accomplished in his name.

    I wonder whether Mo's real secret was to do with extension. He mentions having the club square 22" after impact. To do that the feeling I get is that the club momentum is pulling me onto my lead foot with full extension of the arms. Very different to the average amateur having cramped arms in he follow through.

    I just signed up yesterday for the single plain course. My question is with this system should we rotate the hands or not?
