Brother, I watched this video in between Zoom calls and had to take it to the range after work. I was crunching the ball better than I have in the past 3 years! This works people! Thank you so much.

Chiropractor here. As someone who studies human movement this makes complete sense. Everything about close packed positioning is correct. The same principles we apply to manual adjustments to repeat consistent treatments every time. When I watched Bryson drive his way to US Open victory I wondered how he could rip it fearlessly down narrow fairways with devastating rough either side. Now I realise that his swing eliminates deviate movement errors using this method. Amazing work! Thanks for the video

Chiropractors are made fun of constantly because what they do isn't a science and totally only produces temporary results, but chiropractors have crippled others. You might not lead with that in the future because it makes you look stupid

This sounds like solid tips, I've already stiffened my arms and it helped I can't wait to try to address to lower body issues as well this weekend.

I worked with Todd professionally for a number of years and he is the real deal. He not only brings incredible passion to his teaching but understands the swing like nobody else out there. It’s wonderful to have Bryson’s swing supporting the methodology from both a science and success standpoint. If you’re frustrated with your game, this is your answer. Keep it up TG!

You are a very good teacher, because you keep things very simple and clear. Your video is very helpful. Been playing golf for over 40 years. Enjoyed your explanations! Thanks 🙏🏼

Wow. I just watched Phil Michelson post round interview in the Travelers. The awe and respect he voiced for Bryson shocked me. He was almost speechless describing the distance/accuracy that Bryson is achieving.

Todd, amazing!!! I saw your video and was on the range for 30 mins to test drive it. The results are unbelievable. Thanks so much for sharing it, I really appreciated it.

Holy Cow!! excellent video. I've golfed for 20 years. Tried it at the range Friday, Saturday 18 holes, Range Sunday, Sunday 18 holes, I hit nearly every single fairway. What shocked me the most - the ball flight path - solid straight forward with no fade or draw - perfectly straight! Eyes on target - ball goes there. I'm loving this so much. Thank you for breaking it down in a way which translates to the average golfer like me. I also applied to my rescue - clean , perfect contact with great ball flight and distance.

My buddy sets up his drives just like this. I've always thought it looked really awkward, but seeing it explained fully makes me want to get out and practice. Great video.

I adopted this swing in the mid '90's from the original Golf Digest tape. Made me straighter, just as long, and no more back problems. It's liberating to know that when you stand over the ball, you'll make more solid contact and it will be straighter and in play. I had the privilege to sit with a half dozen others before an exhibition Moe did near where I live and listen to him talk about not just the mechanics of the golf swing, but on the mental side. 'If you think you can, you will. If you think you can't, you won't." And that's a lesson for more than your golf game. Nice too see you carrying on his memory Little Moe. M

Thank you Todd. Now everybody talks about GG's swing and actually I saw many his videos, but during my practice I gradually find the importance of spacing as you talk about in your video. Now the swing hero is Bryson Dechambeau. Your analysis of his swing is perfect explanation. I will practice as you suggested next week. Thank you very much indeed. I will also review Moe Norman's simple swing.

This is the most clear explanation of the Single Plane Swing that you have done Todd! Well done! Thank you!

Tried this out over the last week & it's incredible, to me I could never get a lot of yardage on my drives even though I put a lot of effort into it, with this stance & grip I can really let go & I'm getting more distance & straighter shots, the ball hits the club face more on line which gets the distance, I do not use this for my irons as that's not been a problem, but for driving & fairway woods it's been brilliant, thanks Todd.

Best breakdown / instructional I've seen, most guys over complicate it, like you've described it's just simple physics + biomechanics, well done!

Thank you!! I have just subscribed! This is how I was taught to swing 29 years ago! Through the years my swing was changed and all of a sudden Slice and no accuracy! So I am off to the driving range tomorrow to find my old swing!! You have a new Fan! Regards from South Africa!⛳️🏌🏻‍♀️🇿🇦

Todd, after watching your Single Plan golf swing and watch Bryson’s swing again. I tried to do the set up as your video, the 1st time yesterday at the golf simulator, I can hit 15 yards further already. This change is amazing. Thanks so much….. will continue watching more of your videos. Thanks 😊 🙏 again.

Conventional Golf swing was killing my back after every round. I changed to a single plane swing last year after watching Mo and Todd and almost instantly my back pain stopped. I'm shooting in low 80's to mid 80's from 100 and it's so much more fun. Over this winter I will be working on my swing and tackling more challenging courses. Thanks

Funny story, I did exactly this at the range today and was crushing the ball and I had no idea this is what I was doing until I watched this video.

I tried literally 5 other on-line golf coaches before I found you Todd. I gave them all a fair chance at helping me (1 month or more) before I moved to the next one after being unsatisfied with my improvement. When I started with Graves Golf I showed immediate improvement, straight/solid and with some added distance. Now, I wasn’t perfect every shot but I felt so good about my progress. I recommend Graves Golf Academy to anyone and everyone wanting to feel great about there golf. Study, practice the drills and it will happen. Great training aids/equipment as well. What a blessing, seriously!!

Excellent video instruction. I took a 10 year break from golf, but recently wanted to start playing again. I’ve played two 9 hole rounds and, excuse my French, I sucked! I almost quit before I really got started. But, I thought now would be the perfect time to change my swing. I searched KZread for “Easy repeatable Golf Swing”. Boom, there you were. I started watching your videos, but had to suffer through quarantine and couldn’t get to the range. I have been preaching in my backyard using the Single Plane Swing method. I can’t believe how much better I’m hitting the plastic balls! My quarantine ends next week so I’ll be on the course hitting for real. I can’t wait. I may have made similar comments on a previous video, I apologize. But, I could not believe how much more consistent I was in the backyard compared to my previous Golf Swing... which, again, sucked!!!

As a 51 year old low hcp player with massive back pain past 2 months it AMAZED me going to the range only bringing that driver to check if rumors about less strain to ur back is a reality!! Ball #1 was unreal (trust me ... i thought this was crap before i hit a ball... just needed to try anything) ... it didn't only go straight AND longer than my average .... it took NO EFFORT other than strong comfortable setup and turn = bingo! I hit all 50 balls incredibly well and long ... faster ball speed and club head speed without me trying it ... flight was higher and more staple ... timing was easier ... BUUUUT if timing somehow got wrong i was on another planet right or left :P Average of those 50 (my first 50) like this was around 308 yards ... that's massive for an "old" guy with hcp 3 .... so i would suggest people trying it ... gradually getting there and back to their old swing to figure out where their middle is. Good luck .... loved it ... thx for that NO PAIN SWING ;)

Hi. I am a sixty-eight year old South African Male, playing off a HI of 12. I "switched" to this Single Plane swing after our lockdown (from about August 2020) after reading your book review and fell in love with this single plane, AGAIN. I am a Bryson fan now but always was a Moe Norman fan BUT couldn't grasp his "positions" - you clarified them now. I am still not consistently straight but when it "comes together" it feels amazing. I used to hit them slightly left but a comment I saw when you explained the "slightly-still-open-face" just before impact might solve this for me.

@@malleus9778 Not the OP, but I realized that I have gradually been doing a very similar swing over the years based on what's been successfully for me. My guess on the slice elimination would have to be somewhat related to the ulnar deviation of the lead wrist. From the few videos on eliminating a slice I've seen from guys like crossfield, now this guy, and a few others, that essentially helps the club release with a more in to out path and keeps the club face closed. That promotes more of a draw/hook than a fade/slice. I've since moved into a push draw from a push slice. My miss is now just a block right vs a 60 yard slice, but when I hit it right it's a nice draw.

Having the left hand "weak" (the back of the hand facing the same direction as the club face), and act as an extension of the arm changed everything. I also performed the other address positions and did the sequence best I could. No more slice! Had a few fades and still eff'd up a few shots due to careless alignment etc, but it was the best driving day I've had in a very long time. I just need to work on some flexibility in the back swing and timing but it really works. You can definitely get real serious power once you're able to sequence correctly and fully turn properly. I dont mean to sound too over the moon like a shill or something but before trying this, I was push slicing literally every single time and went to using my 4 iron for drives so I'm pretty thrilled.

I tried this swing without going on the range first as it resonated with me and I found it difficult to get a consistent swing before. I play off 15. The first drive went left but after that, I hit 5 shots perfectly and straight down the middle. 4 pars in 9 holes and I'm hooked.

You are right Todd in what you say that the single plain is the only way to swing the club and have consistency!

I was 21 when I took the game up, am now 69 and now playing my best golf ever due too watching your video's - and Moe's! But still I was not consistent as there were times I was pulling the ball left! I clicked onto Brystons grip video and he showed us how one should hold the grip in the left hand which stops one pulling the ball left - ever!! I tried this grip and it changed my game! When you think of it - put your hands down by your side and look down at them - the v of your thumb and forefinger points to your shoulders! Yet golf tips on the net tell us to have our Vs pointing to our right shoulder! You are a great instructor Todd who does not need a board too read off as you have all this knowledge stored inside of you desperate to inform the world and that is what I love about you as you inform us viewers with your heart behind in what you are trying too put across to golfers and I can assure you - we hear and feel you!

I just started playing golf last year. I play with friends that have been playing a lot longer than I have. Two of them started 40 years ago at ages 10. And 15. The other about 5 years ago but has had numerous pga pro lessons. I did not take to their advice and insights. I go out there and do what I believe is comfortable to me. One friend has now suggested I watch Bryson DeChambeau videos. He noticed that I have a single plane swing. They all think it is unconventional. But it has been working for me. Being that I have only been playing for a year, I am not very consistent. But. On days that I am, they get so mad at me. I out drive them by about 40 yards. And I use a club or 2 below them for irons. They want to hit it as far as me. I am glad that I found this page. It am sure watching and practicing will help with my consistency. I can only get better.

Can you do a series on the other clubs? I shoot mid 80's to 90's and use the driver about 5 times a round. Show us how to do this with a 7 iron in the rough, or off the deck but 2 inches below your feet.

Yes I agree, it somehow takes the over-the-top swing out of the ball game. The swing has to shallow in the downswing because you're reaching out to the ball. For me it worked and it was instantaneous.

Nice Video, Makes perfect sense. My son in law has perfected the swing. 38 yrs old and I am a work in progress 67 yrs old. But when I keep the swing on the one plane I hit it dead straight every time. Works for me. Thank You.

Great vid. Weight shift adds a ton of variability. Saw another pro analyze the right foot down move. Working on that so I don’t jump at the ball with my hips. Makes a huge difference 👍🏻 The hard part is limiting the range of motion and getting loose enough to actually swing. Takes many many hours of work realistically.

You didn't talk about the left forearm variable which I heard Bryson say took out the inconsistency of his accuracy. He supinates his left forearm (rotates to left max) ...so he wont have issues closing the face at different rates and amounts . If he has his forearm more turned right (pronated) his arm is not at end range and timing gets involved with squaring the club face. From this position you can get flippy with the left forearm through the hitting area

I went and played golf today and used this driver Swing. It’s amazing sorted my golf driving out first time . I have a super fast swing and doing this control it and I have never it drives so long in my life . Can’t get my head round it it’s amazing....

these just keep getting better. i've seen BDC 4 times at the st jude classic in memphis & he pures it like you wouldn't believe. for years i'd have golfing friends (& some actual teaching pros) tell me that one would lose distance using the single plane swing (not true) but now i just point to BDC - currently the longest driver on tour by some 30-40 yards - and that usually ends the argument. i've seen moe norman in person in florida back in 1999; he was 68-69 at the time and was hitting it with driver ~ 250/260 which was impressive for his age. all drives went dead straight, too. keep these coming and thanks todd.

Thanks for the comment. Yes, people think you lose distance, they just don’t understand the swing

I wouldn’t use him as an example since the combination of steroids and working out like a madman he’s added 25 pounds of muscle in less than a year and is far stronger than 99.9% of people who ever pick up a club

The limiting the variables is exactly what NASCAR has gone to over the years with bottoming out the suspensions. It creates a consistency every time and the driver knows exactly how the car will react. I will be working to create the muscle memory for this swing. I will be watching many more of your videos and I hope to find drills that will help create the muscle memory. Thanks for the video explanation.

Todd, you just keep getting better and better at explaining the SPS. It keeps getting easier and easier to understand because of your instruction. Thanks again for selflessly sharing.

Thank you so much, this video makes so much sense. Just recently i started hitting my driver really solid and pretty conisistent as well. I was so proud of how i was bombing my drives high and super long. Now the main thing i did was slightly weaken my grip and started to perform a waggle before every swing. But just as fast as i had it, i lost it, but only on the course. I could still go to the range and hit good drives. But i kept on looking for hints because the miss i started to hit was a big snap hook. Then id go on the range and never hit a hook the whole time. I was so confused. What am i doing wrong, is it the grip, alignment, swinging too far in? So Id manipulate my body so that way i wouldnt hit it left, and i hit even more left. It made no sense. What i wasnt paying attention to is that i did everything youre saying to do. Except i kept my arms kind of loose. But everytime at the range i had the same setup and same range of motion and planes with the golf club. But i never looked at it from that aspect. To eliminate mistakes but thats what i was doing. I took a full swing at pretty good speeds not thinking anything of it. But i feel like if i implement this i can get that consistency back out on the course instead of just the range. Thanks so much for the help!!!

I went to this swing two years ago and although I only generate 95 mph clubhead speed I hit 9/10 fairways and with roll get 250ish yards. I also cut my driver down to 43 inches.... golf is so much funnier now. 17 handicap

Todd, I came across your pages last week as I was in the hospital recovering from anterior & posterior spinal fusion surgeries. They popped up as I was watching vids of Bryson D’s recent success. I’ve been playing professionally since the early 2000’s, but back injuries have obviously hindered my ability to play & practice. This makes so much sense! I have been and will continue to dive deep into the one plane! Hopefully it will allow me to continue playing the game I love! Thank you so much for the info! Keep up the great work!

Glad you like them! Thanks for commenting and letting me know.

I have always wondered about hand position. High, low, in the middle. A few times I have tried the single plane without knowing the name for it but assumed it had to be wrong since no one taught it. At the range yesterday I decided to try it again. I hacked about a dozen terrible shots. Then stopped thinking about it and just used the single plane setup and used my regular swing. I hit every club in my bag and it was effortless connecting solidly. No worry about inside out or any other movements I have been taught. Just turn and hit. With just that small change I felt more compact and not all over the place trying to hit the slot. I have not tried keeping my back foot down so for now the swing is still conventional except for the setup. I figure one small change at a time. I have watched Moe videos before but never understood what he was doing different. You videos are great in explaining what he was doing. I spin out a lot as I straighten my front leg and wondering if I am able to hold my back foot down if that might stop it. Now that I am watching again I have no idea how you can keep your back foot down. Or am I misunderstanding something. I am 65. I am thin and still have the ability to get a full range of motion but over time I know that will go away. This swing looks like it should make those older with less flexibility be able to keep hitting as there is less moving parts. Any thought on that.

Hey Todd, I just wanted to tell you that this video changed my life!!! I was slicing BAD for years and couldn't figure out how to adjust to fix it...I tried hand position, swinging from the inside out, slowing my swing speed down(which I have a fast swing) and have just plain sucked eggs from every long tee shot. I am now consistently hitting the long ball (I can even set up draws, fades, and lasers almost when I need to) and have NEVER HIT AS FAR AS I DO NOW! I thought 300- yard carries were impossible for me. Its now a frequent occurrence for me with this new swing. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!

I'm curious to see how it translates to someone who's been playing for a long time! Let us know how it goes. May need to fix my broken swing 🤣

This really helped me thankyou! Been losing my way with driving always dreaded teeing off as a prolific slicer. I tried all sorts of swings tried swinging slow loose all were inconsistent for me. Went to the range yesterday hit some balls using this technique and really went after it and they were going straight far took this on the course straight after and found some new confidence in driving. One little swing thought which helped me on the follow through was to lift hands up high as I ltjink I have the tendancy to release left putting left to right spin on the ball. This was allowing me to launch them straight 👍 Appreciate this thankyou

I have been doing this for months now and never seen a video on this til now...I recently was trying to help 2 friends repeat my process and this video brings the words and science to it! Thank you!

Thanks for this videos and others. I have been trying to implement the single plane swing for my driver. My drives have become more consistent with the majority being “power” fades. How do you adjust for hitting a draw using the single plane driver swing?

Hey Tod I've been practicing this motion for around a month now , and have found it to a be much better result . Thanks mate 😊 Australia , also I am 64 years of age !!

At 70 years old, I still have the passion to play, but after a range session my body feels like I’ve been in a car wreck. Decided to learn this swing, and now not only hitting it square but am actually able to play a round after the range. Huge difference moving forward

You are right Todd. I tried these tips and I am now consistently straight up my balls to the fairway each time. Thanks so much!

love the videos helped me a ton! feels like a magic trick haha can you show a video comparing your set up etc iron vs driver? is it exactly the same?

I just come across this and it's my swing to a tee! I don't ground my club like most do and have the freedom of just swinging away similar to hitting a baseball. I always get compliments on the power I generate. Single plane swing is the way to go.

Todd thanks - Years ago I read the Jack Nicklaus Book - Golf my Way and completely misunderstood what he was saying about the position of a straight left arm (he was talking vertically, but I assumed he also meant horizontally). An important contribution to my error was I had also read the Ben Hogan circular 'Pane of Glass'. To achieve both it led me to an Ulnar Deviation position and a single plane swing as the only logical solution. Unsurprisingly without fully understanding I became a good striker of a golf ball. Some years later I had a very bad spinal accident (I wasn't expected to walk again). Never giving up and looking for a way to continue playing without pain I experimented with as you say the more conventional methods = poor play with me assuming that was my Spine. Recently with a long and successful full recovery I've returned to Moe's method, but this time thanks to you and this Vid I now understand what I'm attempting to do. So far the Swing feels co-ordinated, precise, powerful and faster just as it was back in the Day.

God bless you! The single best swing related video on KZread! Consistency and repeatability! The conventional two plane swing, especially for the amateur golfer, is not attainable. Great work!

Best of luck! let me know how it goes.

todd, i like all these ideas of taking the variables out of the swing action. i have never been able to have consistency with all the body rotation of a conventional swing i think because if any of the body joints or angles are off just a tiny bit you've missed the shot. i like the idea of presetting the arms, ulnar deviation angle and body. i've tried moe's actoin in the past and gonna work on it again, thnx so much.

With Bryson’s recent videos, it backs up these tips and it’s incredible what it can do for your consistency, so far for me at least.

The best driver swing video out there.

I get this video is 3 years old, but even watching his swing back then (as seen in this video at 9:00) Bryson is straightening his left leg before impact. If you watch any of Bryson's own videos you can see that he specifically states that the left leg straightens or "posts" before impact and that he pushes up and off the left leg towards ~11 o'clock.. Moreover, he states that being tall and pulling the handle upwards through impact increases the force on the handle and the speed of the clubhead, and that this motion helps with making an upward angle of attack that allows one to hit up with the driver.

Thank you, makes so much sense! 4 things are more efficient the 5, 3 is more than 2, the simpler the better and faster. Been playing with a guy at my buddys club who has the same swing and bombs it with every club. he has had multiple surgeries on his arm/elbow, i thought it was to protect himself, and his stocky build. Its the swing!! Range tomorrow!

I feel like a kid on Christmas! I’ve been trying to fix my slice for a while now. Tried the tips from this video today and all my drives were consistently going straight! Thank you for the help

Your explanation of the one plain golf swing is so clear Todd! But I did notice that Bryston actually spins his left heel on his follow through, which is understandable with all that power he is creating with his swing! I am a pensioner but happy in what I can achieve on the golf course due to YOUR tuition! Many thanks Todd! If you go on tour Todd - hopefully - Scotland - I would love to meet you and watch you explaining to others Moe's swing!
