To find out more about the Single Plane Swing, I have created a "Single Plane Pocket coach" that you can take to the range, or course, and learn the fundamentals of the swing. Find out more about the Pocket Coach here: gravesgolf.com/yt/get-guide

I'm 60 years old and have been playing at golf for 30 plus years off and on. 3 Weeks ago I bought your book The Single Plane Golf Swing and read it, studied it and began practicing the single plane swing at the driving range. Yesterday, I played my first round of golf with the single plane swing and improved my game dramatically. My golf buddy could not believe the drives and iron shots that I was making. On two separate par 5's, I was on the green in 2.... Now I need to work on my putting, because I missed my first ever attempt at an Eagle. Thank you Todd Graves for helping to love golf again.

Same story as you,it will go wrong on the tee box but you'll soon realize you have started coming over the top Old habit for me, always sliced the driver until I tried the single plane swing and More important the grip to neutral,let the back hand off the throttle as I call it and keep that hand and arm totally relaxed in the back swing let the elbow collapse early so that it doesn't stick out behind your back at the top of the back swing , try to feel the weight of the club head in your hands when you relax your grip to the point where you think it's going to slip from your hands only then will you achieve that feel and when you know where the Head of the club is at the top try to let gravity do you a big favor it will pull the club head towards the heels momentarily don't be in any rush to get them arms out of that position the coiled body unwinding will start that process for you , what a difference it makes what a sound, distance, height with that body tilted 9 degree loft to the clouds If I want to no prob.

I've had 6 eagles including one hole-in-one, two hole-outs, one gimme eagle where I nearly made an albatross on a par 5, one on a par 4 where I drove the green and made a 15-20 foot putt, and one on a par 5 where I was on in 2 and made a nice 12-15 foot putt. Not to brag or anything tho.😅

Yass the secret of a one plane stroke is genius

Thanks very much for this lesson, it has helped me tremendously, as I attempt to return to the game after 14 years off.

I could watch Moe all day and never tire of him. What a genius

That sound of Moe hitting the ball is quite mesmerizing. . . . its so crisp and so clear and always the same.

Moe never took and divots in this video, nice crispy wedge shots

What a delightful man Moe was.

I love listening to older moe norman. What a great soul.

Thank you Todd for sharing this thoughtful piece on Moe. Yes, I think he was a genius in the golf world.

"You're aiming at the hole, SO? Knock the sucker in!" This guy is a legend

Todd you have become a Super Star in the Moe Norman world.....thank you for all you've done. :-)

He had a phenomenal set of hands. No divot at all and perfect contact every time. That is a gift which he well perfected.

Takes club slightly inside, shorter backswing, full acceleration, draw-spin by allowing the wrists to breakdown through impact increasing the loft, no divot - every time. During this COVID yr, I've spent an enormous amount of time chipping & pitching - practicing both the heel off-the-ground fade spin shot and this Right Wrist Flexion through impact Draw-Spin shot Mo is hitting (Tiger talks about this shot as well). It takes me 30 minutes of warmup to get my mind focused enough and arms & hands lose enough to pull it off - it's like a drug

Golf needs more guys like moe, what a legend

Mr. Graves, I know those videos have to be priceless after Moe has been gone. Wish I had videos of my dad and my teacher Mr. Lanning before they past. Great videos and it’s fun to watch you with Moe.

Todd, I've become fascinated by Moe's videos in recent weeks and while I haven't tried to adapt my swing to Single Plane principles yet, I find that if I watch Moe hitting shots, and listen to him talk, for a while, I find I play better when I next pick up my clubs! It's a gentle, 'peaceful' influence that seems to help me swing easier and make better shots. Thank you.

Yep, I'm adapting to it now. What I'm feeling is that being so far from the ball creates a flat approach (further than any other pro ever). The feeling is releasing the right out and underneath and it feels like a stretch. I believe this so key, being stretched out. To hit the ball once set up while keeping a solid base, you hit out at the ball to reach it. Definately not mastered these short ones with Moe Technique yet but the full and half wedges feel amazing, so much natural lag and right elbow being in away, free and ready to release perfectly. (I'll work backwards from full to short.)

Todd this is absolutely the best video I have seen on pitching. The graphic way you explained how the butt of the club points at the ball and the the tossing feeling with the right hand on the downswing really clicked with me. I immediately went into my backyard, aimed at my fence gate and made solid strikes each time with much improved accuracy. I am presently recovering from a medical back procedure and planning to get back to golf within the next month. Going to learn the single plane swing by getting one on one lessons from one of your coaches. Thanks for making all of these videos, they will help me to start learning the single plane swing. Bye the way, Moe looked to be a pretty sweet guy.

Legend! great video Todd. I've learned this same method from John Hudson another superb professional.

Love Moe, great video. My dad ran into him years ago in Montreal when Moe played tournaments and while my dad was a caddie there in his youth. Said Moe was a misunderstood man but the most accurate golfer he's ever seen still in his life (He's also attended a few US opens).

Todd your willingness and ability to stay patient with Moe was outstanding. It gave you the opportunity to listen and INTERPRET what many people could not. Watching his swing in slow motion looks like a miniature version of his full swing in many ways. 70 yard pitch - 130 foot putt, I toss it into the hole 50 yard pitch - To the front of the green; Takes is little to the outside, which pops it up a little and allows for a little more finesse. To the back of the green; Back of the stance and more brisk in the delivery. Never wants back spin, always feeling the roll out. Knock the sucker in. How can you not love Moe? Regarding the 60 degree; When you asked him which club would you leave out of the bag? I like what he said; It depends on the course, do I need my 5 wood or maybe my 3 wood. I think many people don't fully appreciate what the totality of golf course management really is. Some of that is happening before you even walk onto the course.

Wow, I haven't seen this one yet, and I'm glad I found it. Moe's accuracy and consistency is absolutely unbelievable..

For over 45 years I have always had the left hand domination for a right handed player throughout the full swing, as That is what the books and video's teach then just the other week after a few day's practicing Moe's/Todds right hand tossing motion of the follow through I have gained more consistency in longer and straighter shots! I am a new man/golfer looking forward to next season too start! Thanks ever so much Todd for showing us guy's out here Moe's swing, without you taking interest in Moe's swing and in his method in showing us the swinging of the club would have vanished along with Moe leaving his beloved game of golf, RIP Moe, surly missed!

Thank you for getting the Forensic Files narrator for this film. I love his voice!

After watching moe hit natural golf clubs I actually bought a 3 wood and walla my savior club for 230yd off the Grass. Thanks Moe

Priceless times with Moe,Todd you must cherish when you reminisce

My eureka moment came recently on my chips. I realized I hadn't been using the single plane setup like with my regular shots. Immediately saw an improvement in ball striking my chips when I setup with the uncocked wrists and lining up shaft with left arm. . Thanks SPS. Works with putter, too. love this video as well. good teaching.

I think Moe might be using an Accuform wedge. They were a Canadian company that made clubs in the ‘ 80’s. They were very simple looking, blade like iron. Years ago I had a short game lesson with an Canadian LPGA pro named Carole Dawson. She played many rounds with Moe in Florida during the winter. They used to play for 25 cents for every flag stick hit. With the exception of Paul Azinger she’s the best wedge player I’ve seen in person. Crisp, low shots that made a hissing sound.

😂 "you aiming at the hole, knock the sucker in"! Moe was an amazing golfer with masterful hands.

Here because of golfvlogs uk. So simple. Definitely giving this a try.

Moe’s angle of attack was so shallow. He hit how many balls here (all flush) and didn’t leave a trace of a divot. He had some amazing hand to eye coordination.

Moe Norman was a genius. He invented the perfect effortless golf swing. Todd Graves is a genius. He has taught Moes swing to perfection.

Thanks, I wish there was a close up shot of the bounce on his favorite wedge. You said he shaved off the front edge but it would be nice actually see it close up from different angles.

Thank you. Love MN

“No divots just comb the grass.” That’s an incredible saying.

Great video Todd,

Online I bought one of your old school Moe Norman Sandy Andy clubs. Lots of fun.

I grew up watching Moe in Brantford before he died. But this video is insane. I can't think of anyone I have ever seen who can stand there all day and hit wedge shots without taking a divot. How on earth do you do that?

Man, I need to go back to my more natural swing. Lessons put me in a 2 plane and I think I naturally have a single plane. Watching Moe hit and talk about that 50° is like listening to my own inner monolog when I hit my 52° around the green. Then you hit those chips and it looks just like how I'm comfortable around the green when I'm playing well.

So good that he came to be really appreciated in his later years after the abuse of the early years.

Moe is a Canadian legend. Terrible how he was treated playing American events. Had he been as prviledges as others he could be the greated tour player to ever live

Moe was an absolute legend, but thank god Todd studied so much of his swing and quantified it, sometimes I can't even understand what Moe's saying haha

Good Stuff Todd! Before I chip I Stand behind the ball and visualize the spot I want to land the ball and the height, seems like the natural thing to do.

Great video. No divot. Lovely

Hands lead yes, can be a slippery slope for most am's who are way too steep and usually hit fat or thin. Almost none that i play with activate the bounce on the wedge... Moe certainly did!!!

Thank god for moe Norman and thank god for you Todd

Just reviewed this again. Moe was a genius in that he knew exactly what he was doing - but - couldn't really accurately explain it. Your genius is in that you can "explain" exactly what Moe meant!

Moe wore great color combinations!

At 12:07 you mention the ball is back in your stance. Since we pivot around the front leg, if you pull your trail leg back and look you'll see the ball is actually off of the heel of your lead foot. That allows the club to shallow through impact and not strike down and dig into the ground. Probably why Moe didn't take divots. Check out Bradley Hughes short game and Secret Golf too. That's what they teach.

God rest a beautiful soul. A true self taught student of the game!

Awesome 👍😎

Todd. Great video. Question. I noticed you choked all the way down on club. Do you ever hold the club at the end when pitching ? Or always choke up?

The legend Moe .now we have Bryson the very same Single Plane Swing .it is so reapable you eliminate all the different thought process .Paralysis by Analysis .and as you are in the same turn plane you remove all the different body movements and remove the chances of injury

I notice how Moe addresses the ball which looks like 2-4 inches behind the ball rather than up against it like most golfers do. Is this something that should be looked at more? And where the hell is the divot??? Phenomenal!!!!!!

If you start the club X distance from the ball, you've essentially simplified the backswing by X distance. Or at least that's the theory.

Best ball striker ever...I’m sold. Every shot is like he hit off a range mat. Barely even clips the tips of the grass

Boy, did you make that look easy!

Watch the video. More takes it to the inside. And his hands don't go to the target. Club and hands go left after impact. I have been watching Moe's videos for a few years. I plan to adapt his swing because of my bad back
