Todd Graves teaches The Single Plane Golf Swing of Moe Norman to help you simplify your golf swing.
If you are frustrated, confused or looking for an easier way to play, the Single Plane Swing is for you.
My journey to better golf led me to Moe Norman in 1994.. Through his ten year tutelage, I was able to discover his often misunderstood, unique golf swing method which simplifies the golf swing. In doing so I was able to become a a great ball-striker and find my love for golf again.
Moe's discovery is now being used by thousands of golfers around the world. I believe it is the golf swing answer you are looking for. This channel is dedicated to helping you discover Moe and learn what I learned - how his Single Plane Swing can help you hit the golf ball better than you ever imagined.

Todd, what you say is v interesting and informative, but, 19 minutes long!!! Sorry buddy but you lost me around the 4minute mark. I get it that you’re getting money per click but surely the 8 or 9 minute point is long enough to get your point over and get paid! Can I suggest you look up some of Phil Mickelson vids, he’s great, quick and to the point. Best of luck but I need to be elsewhere.🤞
Rubbish its that thing in your head between the lugs.
what range finder are you using Todd?
Hi Todd. Fintan here. Just wondering why you don't sort of jump back to throw the club. Like Bryson. And I think Moe sort of did this too I feel it would modernise this. And add loads of clubhead speed from the legs.
Excellent video and crisp explanation, Todd…this is exactly what Moe meant when he said he “was going up while he was going down”! Thank you!
No such thing as the 'Perfect Golf Swing' 🙄
@@courtneypatterson3312 but there is such thing as biomechanics. And there is such thing as simple. Put those together that’s the golf swing you want.
1” off line 270 lol
His face should be on a coin or bill.He’s Canada’s treasure 👍🏻🇨🇦
My experience is that the ACTUAL degree to which you should move your lead leg to stabilize it is much smaller than the degree to which you THINK or feel you should do it. IOW, when your mind wanders you tend to increase that lead leg movement (also do it at the wrong angle) and the result is chaos; e.g. getting too over the ball, swinging left and slicing, topping, chunking. I sort of found this out yesterday: The first seven or eight holes I was striking the ball better than I ever have but as the round went on I sliced, topped, fatted and the common denominator was feeling unstable after that shift. Sometimes, after hitting it well, you start thinking: "OK, now do MORE of what you were doing to get even better" and the result is overdoing that move into the knee. Logically, I know there are no "magic bullets" but at least this video will keep me occupied until I can go out again on Sunday. Thanks to Todd again for offering the free content.
Great video. Looking trim
Working on it. Thanks.
Todd, great video, thanks for sharing, just love your book.
Thank you.
Great instructions.That is the gist for consistency 😊
Thanks.!
4:04 - About two or three frames in pause mode, we can see as Todd's hands reach about ear height his pelvis begins to move towards the target and MOST importantly his hands CONTINUE higher and further into his backswing during those 2 or 3 frames. This provides an opportunity for what's about to come next - LOADING THE SHAFT! All the work as been done mostly at that point and he just unwinds his lower body and the upper body follows behind. Todd still has a great swing even as he gets a little older. The only thing I noticed that has changed just a bit, is Todd's upper thoracic is lifting up about 1 inch during the backswing. Not a big deal. The lead arm coming up and across the chest is extending the thoracic just a bit. Probably not worth changing at this point, since he hitting the ball very solid.
3:28 - And that butt push (behind us & towards the target) is exactly what we see the biggest hitters doing on the PGA tour. Hogan was notorious for doing this in his younger days. Sammy Snead did this to a lesser degree than Hogan. Many in Hogan/Sneads era did this move nearly every time. If you watch Cameron champ, he exaggerates this move and of course pounds the ball a mile! Cameron also maintains very good pelvis depth until the very end and only then does he thrust his pelvis (loses depth) at the target . Extremely effective way to properly position the pelvis. The other thing I would say is, most amateurs don't understand, at address, the need to have the abdominals slightly taunt during most of the swing. This stablizes the lower back and prevents injury. It's difficult to play high level golf with good pelvis depth, but have a loose core.
That's literally pivotal information right there!!! ❤🔥🔥
Well done! Pivotal! 😂
Does this Driver swing work the same way for your iron shots?
Only place I have found an issue is if I have a very sloped lie with ball below my feet, I cannot grab a longer iron to reduce how much I have to bend down. Instead I use a 4 hybrid which is standard length from a variable set; it’s my utility recovery club for punch shots from bad lies
I would teach the old Moe Norman single plane vs the new Modified Bryson swing
@@FM-db3ft agree
Does this mean all clubs must be the same length? All mine are different lengths
Todd could you do a video on how to make sure/or how, to set the wrist correctly on the back swing as for years I have fought setting or not setting the wrist (no wrist set loss of power) seems some days If I try and set the wrist I end up opening the club face and end up hitting beautiful straight shots right of target, in the sand or the lake.
Thank you I found your video POV-Angle of Attack in Moe Norman’s Downswing from a few years ago. Looks like what I do but yes may be staring down with the arms......
Next video, How to hit driver straight? Make sure your tees are clean
Hands down my favorite moe video. I want to thank Todd Graves & company for all the help. Love you guys
Thank you!
Thanksu, re,,
Thank you so much for this video. The instruction in the lower body, really makes a lot of sense to me. This is very helpful.
What was the SW of Moe's heavy wedge?
now this is making some sense oh yes excited to practice this tmr 🙂↕️🙂↕️
Only two things about this. Number 1, Bryson has said on numerous videos he stresses the left elbow facing the target. Number 2, I've looked too many times to mention, but I've never seen the back of Todd's left hand either facing the target or aligned with the club face. I'd really like an explanation for this. BTW, I'm now doing the 30 Day Plan!
i was at this clinic,,,wish i had original footage
Genius ! ❤❤
Like so many videos, seems a looooooong time to get to the point
My understanding that Bryce and Dechambeau and Norman have a very similar swing my question Bryson DeChambeau angles 72° upright. It looks like Norman is much farther away at address with his lying be much flatter.
So wait I’m to the point where you’re using a longer club the seven iron I thought most clubs are all the same length. Can you use the Moorman swing with a normal set of clubs each club being a half inch longer?
I am a recovered injury, person trying to play golf. My swing weight has to be between C0 and C2. Anything more than that my body cannot handle looking for clubs to have built or buy or components that I can build any suggestions
Can this single-plane swing be used effectively with iron's also???
We’re curious players now we’re smarter we want more information. Do we know what CPM shafts he used? Do we know his Langle? Do we know the length of clubs that he used based on his big round grips? What are they comparable now to jumbo grips. What size would that be? What was Monan swing weight? What was the head weights of his clubs?
How does Bryson Dechambeau hit the ball compared to Mo Norman? Why does Bryson DeChambeau‘s ball go so far was Mo Norman a short hitter
found out about Moe the other day - absolutely incredible stuff, working on the natural golf swing now. All of this old footage is gold
Great swing thought, I do the same when getting out of rhythm or off plane Left shoulder down pointing to ball / Replace Right shoulder down pointing to where ball was. And that’s it no other thoughts.
Just started watching your videos, this makes so much sense to me after 30 + years of struggling with the modern golf swing and instruction. Im hooked with getting this model right. Ive never made so many position to position swings with a broom handle in front of a mirror before trying to engrave this into my muscle memory. Im close, have some inconsistencywith face angle and back foot staying down but I’ve never hit it better. My question though is when I play on the course now it seems like I have lost 5-10 yards in distance with my irons, Im also hitting it much higher Im assuming due to Tilt is this common and normal? Will I get my distance back as it has my yardages a bit messed up. Thanks Todd for keeping Moe and his swing alive! -Mike
Makes a ton of sense! Getting my eyes opened after 30+ years of struggling with the modern golf swing and instruction. So excited about this as I try to ingrain the positions. Thanks Todd!
this theory is based on 2 players... the current best ball strikers (Rory, Shuffler, Scheffely, etc) don't use this motion... and as Bryson used very customized clubs and shaft length... interesting... but surely not for everybody. thanks anyway..
Adopted this swing and quickly dropped 10 shots -- im a complete beginner! I put up my first course video, appreciate if you could check it out 😊

🙏thank you..this video just answered SOOO many questions I had about my swing,grip & my motion .. I’m a subscriber Now..
On the downswing, Are you dragging right elbow to the ball?
I wouldn't describe it like that. The right arm is externally rotated in the downing. the body is rotating and pulling the lead arm to keep the right arm externally rotated.
I'm often a better tee striker than ball striker. Not Moe. Watch the tee when he strikes the ball. Doesn't he hold the Guiness record for drives off a tee without having to adjust the tee between strikes? It's so pure.
I think he could get around 350 drives out of a tee
Todd, I noticed in this video, at the top of your backswing, if you place a line at a 90 degree angle from the shaft, it points directly toward your pivot point!
Thank you Todd for sharing this thoughtful piece on Moe. Yes, I think he was a genius in the golf world.
