Range of Motion. Internal and External Rotation. This is how the forearms work during the golf swing. If you watch Moe Norman Closely, you can see how he utilized his hand and arm ration to swing the club perfectly on plane.
In this video I demonstrate the ideal arm movement of Moe Norman.
About the Single Plane Golf Swing
The Single Plane golf swing is not a quick fix golf technique. It is a system, beginning at address, that simplifies the most important moment of the golf swing - impact.
Starting at address on two planes where the arms hang straight down at address, the Conventional golf swing is complicated. Because the arms are hanging straight down, a conventional golfer must lift the body into impact creating stress on the back.
This upward movement to accommodate the two planes is unnecessary.
The Single Plane Golf swing simplifies the golf swing by eliminating the need for the upward movement by starting and impacting on the same plane.
This is soooooooo unfair that you are giving away all of these awesome “secrets” to all these “I am new to single plane” golfers on here!! They should have had to have waited twenty years like us who are not new to single plane and have sat at your feet forever; life def ant fair!!! 😂
The club face in that still frame is so wide open, all the 3D/4D systems now show that every player that’s ever been any good are positive rotating the forearms on the way down, the forces applied to the club+gravity/centrifugal force/momentum, all balance out to get the proper positions every golfer wants
I'm not sure if you answer this question but for all the people watching your video, "how many golf balls would a person need to hit in order to achieve even 50% of the movements explained in this video. You will definitely need to watch youself on video and slow it down to understand the pivitol points on each part of this golf swing. my best guess would be 10,000.
Yup, 100% spot on. The trail arm must maintain those angles at the elbow and wrist, otherwise all the power would be released too soon. Moe mentioned Ben Hogan several times, as they both had similar trail arm dynamics (late release). This type of late release uses the body rotation to square the clubhead more so than most other swings. Ben hated hooking the ball, so this was his anti-hook method, and Moe was similar in this regard. By today's standards, this is a throw back swing to a time gone by, but guess what? You'll be far more consistent and less injuries. You may give up a little yardage compared to today's hard push off the ground with the lead leg, but for me the fatigue factor is better. Excellent content!
you have it the exact opposite, internal and external of the trail arm. You need to fix it! and not delete my post just because you messed up. Plus from elbow down it's supination and pronation.
I'm new to single plane and my biggest issue is over the top shots. I can even see my toe dig in instead of a nice flat divot. As you say in the video, I try to feel more tilt and tuck my arm so I might be artificially fixing my issue. This video helps me to know what I really need to do to fix my over the top path.
Awesome tip as always but I couldn't help but get bothered by saying the trail arm stays "internally rotated" when it's actually in external rotation
interesting that when you demo in slow mo, your elbow is against the body but at full speed is isn't, and neither was Moe's. It's not abaout the elbow position, it's the position of the trail hand on the club, as you mention.
Bought your book a year ago. I tried to copy it detail by detail to little success. Then I just adjusted the concepts to my needs and bingo. I appreciate you bringing the Moe single plane swing to the public. I went from a 12 handicap to a 3 in one year. Putting is the last monster I need to slay then after 10 years I will finally be a scratch golfer.
I seem to believe that not having the tilt, it can lead to crappy swing results. When I set my tilt up, it feels really exaggerated. If I don't have that feel, then I can easily come over the top, and hit a crappy shot. When I have my tilt correctly, what I seem to see is keeping my lead arm over top of back swing, and on down swing, my lead arm remains on top of my right arm, with my trail arm staying below.(right handed)
I have been wanting something this in-depth for a while. This is so detailed and I fully understand and helps me understand more and more.
Best explanation of sunny side up yet!
Todd,
Great lesson. 100% best way you have ever explained (without saying) the NON ROTATIONAL trail hand. I for one struggled many rounds hitting perfectly straight shots right of the green trying to force the trail hand to not rotate, holding it so solid the lead hand could not quite square up. It took a former Natural Golf instructor (and another $125) to have that pointed out to me.
Brilliant, I have adopted the same setup by trial and error, and watching many video’s of Moe! His exaggerated demonstrations of what he felt in the swing are priceless. Thank you for keeping his legacy alive.
That's a great video, Todd. Brings a lot of clarity.
Great video the visuals are terrific can 't wait to try it out a t the range! FYI if the elbow is sunny side up, the shoulder joint is externally rotated. I f you pronate the forearm like a topspin tennis forehand the shoulder would be internally rotating from an externally rotated starting position. Keep up the great work!
Man Todd...Every Golfer Should Watch this Particular Video of your Fab series to the Mechanics of Squaring the Club face up to Impact.. And once you Understand this and put it into Practice They Will as I will Finally Hit Better and Better Golf Shots Using the Method you have shown in this Video.. Brilliant Series Todd Many thanks from an avid Uk Follower.
I’ve watched dozens of your videos and this one is the best I’ve seen yet. Fantastic insight to a topic many golfers don’t put enough emphasis on.
GOLD!!!!!!
