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: SwingPocketGuide.com.

Appreciate the instructions and I am glad I subscribe to your channel. I went through some basic golf instructions while I was in the military but somehow I can never figure it out. I can honestly say after watching the single plane golf swing, I am starting to get excited of the improvement. I would like to know where to purchase that ball position tool for my daughter and I can start her early.

why say todd when you can say t..o..d 3 part swing? you can thank me later todd!

I hope everyone understands just how good this You Tube Channel is. Todd literally gives away thousands of dollars worth of golf lessons and I couldn't appreciate it more. Today we get a valuable lesson in golf course management. This is a subject we do not hear enough about. I have been working very hard on changing my swing to the single plane that Graves teaches. I looked at the others on KZread who also have some similar "Set up for ...." but despite what anyone says, leaving the trail foot on the ground and leaving the lead leg flexed through impact is instrumental. Placing those limits keeps you from over swinging or I should say it allows you to swing harder (my natural tendency) without getting out of position. I have lowered my scores the last two rounds by 10 strokes and have added almost 25 yards to my drives. I still miss left and I still miss right, but the misses aren't as bad and I typically don't have three misses in a row. It takes practice, patience and perseverance and going to the range and working on the positions is key. If you commit to this type of swing though, it really does straighten your shot. Just don't go out there once and give up. I have always loved golf, but the single plane swing has really renewed my commitment to getting better. I hope to take in person instruction someday as i would love to have a certified instructor fine tune what I have already gained by just watching these videos. I think my back swing is my weakest area, but I will work on it. Thank you Todd, you have made golf fun again and I appreciate what you are doing out here on KZread.

Those rounds of golf are the best golf lesson you can dream of: application of the SPGS, course management, chipping technique, green reading, putting technique,... This is really awsome! Love it. Wish more of those, if possible. Well done, Todd!

I’ve been watching every part of this round ... it’s mind boggling how accurate your driver game is ... I’m extremely jealous and have begun the journey of single plane 👍

Todd , your almost 'giddy' approach to your game is enjoyable to experience . It must be so wonderful to hit the ball so predictably well most of the time . Keep the youthful spirit ! You're great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great series. Looking forward to final holes. Love the ball tracer. Spot on course management.

I really like seeing you actually play . At Oaktree National. Would like to see you work with a student sometime. I appreciate your personality and teaching skills . Thanks . Wayne

That was awesome. Smart playing and great shot making. Great putting as well. I hope to hit it that well someday soon. Love the channel. Looking forward to the next. 👍👍

Thanks for all the great in site into your golfing mind. Yesterday was my first day to the range after committing to the Moe Norman swing. Thought I hit the ball great and my plane was better then it ever has been. When I came home and studied the video I’m a long ways off getting my feet to be still. I was a collegiate golfer yet that was a long time ago and I’ve taken the last four years away from the game. After hearing Moe’s story it has inspired me to get back out there and learn to enjoy golf in my middle age years. I plan on joining the gold member academy next month for the help I need to get started off right leaning the mechanics. Thanks again!

Hey Todd. Great stuff. What you were saying about the tee shot on 11 I find as a problem as well. I play the single plane swing that I’ve mostly learned from your videos. But when I aim left, I often end up hitting it more right. Any advice as to why that happens?

@ToddGravesGolf

4 жыл бұрын

It happens to me because when I aim left I often "forget" to move the ball postion to the correct position too. This means that the ball is too far back in my stance and It pushes to right. Aiming left requires a correct ball position too.

I prefer to learn to keep the heel on the ground. My heel comes up sometimes. I practice on keeping it down. The reason to learn to keep it down is not really about the heel but rather about controlling hip rotation. Thats why when Mine comes up, it doesn't affect me much however, I sometimes get sloppy and slide a bit too much because of it. I'm a work in progress.

No swing has one plane Moe’s swing furthest thing from same plane on his down swing. Bryson also. They both drop into their own different slot positions taking them down into a completely different plane or approach into impact

@ToddGravesGolf

Жыл бұрын

Here is the clarification. What you are describing is "Same Plane" where the club would stay on the same plane throughout the swing. That is not the Single Plane. The Single Plane represents the Natural Motion of the body and shows the club Starts and Impacts on the Club's initial Plane as opposed to starting on a low plane and impacting on a higher plane. The Single Plane Represents the a spatial relationship between the club and body where you can move the body in the most efficient way - similar to skipping a rock, hammering a nail etc.

Oh well. I do have a question for Todd if he has followed to this point.....what lie angles do you have on your irons? The way you set up it looks like you have to be several degrees upright.
