Love the video. Playing golf with Moe was special. One particular round he kept missing the fairways on purpose, but hitting perfect approach shots onto the green. After five holes, I asked him, what he was doing. He said "I found shortcuts". I went back to see where Moe was positioning his shots and sure enough, every place Moe drove the ball was at least one club closer to the green.

I started golfing in March of last year and shot well over 100+. I would slice my driver OB and would regularly miss-hit my long clubs... To help my score a little better I switched to just hitting my 7 iron to get me up the fairway. Then around July or August of 2023 I switched to Moe Norman's swing style taught by Todd Graves. I quickly broke 100 and even broke 90 couple times. I consistently shoot in the low 90s and now I'm practicing my short game to hopefully break 85 or even lower this year. While I can't hit as accurate as Moe every time, I at least keep it in bounds now and stopped losing golf balls. It is such a simple swing, however you still need a lot of practice to make sure your ball striking becomes more consistent.
@Milkywaymike5 ай бұрын
Just an update... Not only did I break 85, but soon after I broke 80 with a 79 last week. I now consistently shoot the mid 80s. My consistency with ball striking has increased with daily practice into a net. I started using Aim Point putting 2 months ago, worked on distance control with the putts and practiced a lot with my wedges for around the green. This has helped shave more strokes off to keep me in the low 80s and hopefully consistently in the 70s soon

My favorite Moe story, in a tournament his caddy told him this hole will be a drive and a 9 iron today. So Moe drops a ball, hits a 9 iron off the tee down the fairway, then when he gets to his ball, he hits a driver off the deck and lands it on the green. His mind and talent was something else. Too bad some PGA players complained about his on course attire and hygiene and harassed him out of the PGA. They just couldn’t leave him alone, he didn’t fit the Country Club elitists idea of a pro golfer. I always wonder what he would have done and records he would have set on the PGA.

I’m pretty sure Moe was autistic, he lived a peculiar lifestyle travelling between golf comps in his car, all of his possessions in the car and usually sleeping in the car. He was painfully shy and often asked someone to collect his trophies for him to avoid the fuss and limelight. Only in later life did he grow more comfortable around people and grew to enjoy putting on clinics. Despite his phenomenal ability he never made much money and died relatively young, his poor diet was probably a major factor. A bitter sweet story….RIP Moe

I would not recommend copying Moe Normans swing. It was totally idiosyncratic and worked for him. He makes many compensations for his unusual stance and positioning of the club head well behind the ball. And he doesn’t even do what he teaches. George Knudson was a good ball striker. But he took the club to the inside on the takeaway, addressed the ball off the toe of the club and used a closed stance. Hogan held the face open through impact in a cut away fashion to avoid hooking the ball. All great ball strikers, all using different techniques. Best to follow solid principles in building a golf swing. Unwise to copy people.

It's almost impossible to swing a golf club on a single plane because of the way we're built but Moe Norman pretty much managed to do that and that's why he hit it so straight. It's not a swing anybody should try to emulate though because 99% of the public can't possibly get into those positions. Same thing with Hogan, Rickie Fowler and Sergio Garcia. To come into the ball that flat with that much wrist hinge is unthinkable for most of us out here. Most people trying to swing like Moe will hit it considerably shorter.

Hot take time: I think its a popular opinion to say "OMG... Moe was the absolute BEST ball striker EVER" and no one wants to say otherwise or else you look like you dont know what you are talking about. Holding this opinion is like having some special inside knowledge of a golf savant that most people have never heard of... so it makes you one of the special ones "in the club" if you know about him. Here is the thing: by all accounts his swing did not produce distance... he was a short hitter. Sorry/not sorry... but you have to hit it long. All the greats hit in long. Maybe you could say that a few were of average length like Byron Nelson... but I challenge you to name a great who was a short hitter. No matter how "deadly accurate" you are, if you cant it it far, you will not really be competitive with the best. Its no different than saying that some long driving champion is the best driver ever. Nope. Unless they hit a certain % of fairways at their max distance, they are not in the conversation. Foul balls dont count. The best ball strikers are a combination of distance and accuracy. Their swings produce power AND consistency. If you have to sacrifice one for the other, you are not in the conversation.

Moe's swing worked for Moe, but if you try these things, you're setting yourself up for aggravation. Moe had an odd body type and was mentally on the autism/aspergers spectrum. He is wired differently than most people. If you copy the swing of someone like Moe, you're setting yourself up for a long season. It's interesting to see videos like this, but if you want to copy someone, copy the body positions of Adam Scott and the tempo of Jake Knapp or Ernie Els.

Idiosyncratic swing that worked for him. Not something to copy. Many great ball strikers do different things to achieve success. This is just one. Moe swung the club like this before he decided to dissect it. It is not the result of any plan. It is just his way.

If Moe Norman was such a great golfer, why is his record on the US tour a big fat ZILCH?

His swing is great if your a athletic flexible guy like the two Mike's but is mere mortals Moe's technique is really simple and I use it and can enjoy good contact making golf fun not being frustrated
