Literally can’t thank you enough for all the content. You are truly a phenomenal teacher. I really enjoyed the recent videos with Brock. Best golf instructors in the world. Match the Model!!

I want to thank for your hard work and help me over two years on the sps. Iam playing the most consistent golf now. Thanks again to you and team of instructors.

Hi Todd my name is Stephen Lawrence from the UK just want to thank you on the difference this style of golf swing has made to my game i have played for years never achieved at all but now i have acquired some consistency and i am looking forward to playing more golf. I am an oldy but i still possess good flexibility i shall be watching more of your work on your channel. By the way i understand the roots of the single plane swing but its you who puts it across so well and easy to follow. Many thanks

Merveilleuse vidéo, merci Todd pour ce joli travail qui permet de bien comprendre ce qu’est la compression de balle, aussi j’ai bien reçu mes outils, club perfect impact et barre d’alignement au sol qui me sont une aide à l’entraînement super ressenti, je dirais lors du contact avec la balle, c’est comme si on rentrait dans du beurre. Passez une très belle soirée depuis la France. -- Wonderful video, thank you Todd for this nice work that allows me to understand what ball compression is, so I received my tools, club perfect impact and ground alignment bar that are a super felt training aid to me, I would say when in contact with the ball, it's as if we were getting into butter. Have a great evening from France.

Great job Todd. Exactly what I've been working on; you read my mind. Also, something you don't typically get credit for: you're looking good in those duds as usual. :-)

Great video Todd! Very helpful

Thanks Todd, I’m a new comer to this. You have really started me down a path I’m loving. Kudos to you!!!!

Great to hear. Let me know how I can help.

Great information I like it will help , now the snow is gone here I can start using what you are showing thanks

I’ve recently committed to learning the single plane swing and one thing I’ve noticed is how straight my miss-hits are. I’d always struggled with extreme duck hooks when I hit the ball off the toe and it would really frustrate me. It’s a breath of fresh air to not worry about where my miss-hits go.

Nice instruction Todd. Struggling a bit with consistency so I’m going back to make sure my setup is proper, I think I’ve gotten lazy and not spending quality time with making sure my setup is proper

Undoubtedly, Moe's hands worked with the swing to get the timing right such that he accelerated the club head through impact ensuring that the club head exceeded ball rebound and actually compressed (or flattened) the ball against the club face, providing additional elastic recoil and therefore, distance. A maximum smash factor produced. He even said that he made the club "sing" AFTER impact because that is where and when its maximum speed was achieved.

Mind blown. I just came across video and was skeptical. Went into back yard and weirdly when using this method the ball seems to go harder into net, leaving a divot, and easier. At the golf course teaching pro wants o get me to do something so awkward. Can’t wait To get to range / course and implement this technique. Especially when it comes to driver. Im guessing I have a single plane swing and was fighting against it all this time

Todd, I’ve noticed I’ve developed a nasty habit of early extension. Are there any drills you recommend to get rid of it? Keep up the great content!

Got some of those sticks at Home Depot. Drilled the grip so they fit.

thank you, todd for what you do. question...what type of shaft stiffness did moe use while in his age 70's? also what shaft stiffness are you?

Oak Tree? I've played there a couple of times. I play now at Winter Creek. I've just become aware of the ulnar deviation factor at impact of some of the greats. Hogan with the driver had it. Malaska talks about the "line of compression". I've been doing a lot of research on it and I'm now a subscriber. Thanks for the video Todd

This guy will ruin your swing with his extreme method copying Moe Norman. There are much better single plane alternatives along the lines of Bryson's swing where you do not have to stand so far from the ball.

@@roblaufflin7741 Thanks for the response Rob. I like the feeling of width I get with this setup, and I noticed with a couple of other sites, they still advocate posting the lead leg before impact. I think that leads to inconsistent vertical head/body positions. If you create enough space at address between you and the ball, there seems to be much less up and down movement of the body to accommodate the extra width caused by ulnar deviation of the wrists . If you start closer to the ball with your arms hanging straight down, you have to move your body away or up to get to the right impact distance from the ball. Or have both arms bent at impact. I'm still looking around the different sites though. Thanks again.

I incidentally have a somewhat similar swing to Moe.

Great video Todd. Do you have any kind of training sessions or someone on staff in NC that could help me with my swing? I love the idea of a swing that takes some pressure off of the lower back and I could possibly play a full round pain free. Thanks for the videos that you put out there for us hackers to enjoy and learn.

Hey Greg sent me an email at Toddg@gravesgolf.com and I’ll get in touch

Todd just curious. When you watch footage of Moe he often talks about how to hit a ball out of a divot..."Swing easier but smoother" he would say...or something to that effect. Do you know what he meant by this? It's just I would equate the words "easier" and "smoother" in the context of the golf swing as possibly meaning the same thing ! Many Thanks. Tim

Question. I think I know the answer but just making sure. When you are in your initial set up, and you are looking down at your club and not the ball, do you stay focused on where the club was or do you move it to where the ball is?

Look in the direction of the ball.

Yes, when I first tried this swing after Moe's article years back in Golf Digest it worked great for the driver sweeping swing. However, was not compressing or hitting solid iron shots.

Todd can you detail how it helped your backswing? I am a gold member, working hard to get the backswing correct, so I am always listening for yours and the coaches instruction on backswing.

Definitely not Todd, but from what the instructors told me in my video lessons, it ensures a solid take away from address (with the extension touching the side) to position one (unified arm-torso motion only) and then pointing the butt-end towards the spot 5 feet back and one foot in at position two.

@@roblaufflin7741 Once you get "used to it", there is no problem and with "fit" clubs, the distance from hosel to grip approximates accurately the distance between the toes as well as the distance from the ball. (A quick tip and legal method of verification while on the course.) My (conventional) swing ruined my back and I played with pain and poor results because of it. Since adopting this "easy on the back" method, I now play over 100 times per season with no back pain whatsoever. My handicap is down to a 5 and I hope to shoot my age (68) this season... :)

It is totally absurd! Todd himself releases the club early which is probably why he does not play in golf tournaments any longer.

I’m getting the inside out club path and compression, but I can’t seem to close the face to make it square at impact. Driving me crazy.
