    Moe Norman shows what he believed to be the most important part of his golf swing. The transition, vertical drop, master move, horizontal tug. He also talks about his coin drill.
    This video is shared with the permission of the PGA of America who filmed this in 1994. The Q&A is from PGA member Craig Shankland who has released this at no charge to the public by allowing it to be uploaded here online.
    This video is for all the Moe Norman fans out there. It is not instruction, and I no longer teach Moe's Golf swing. In my opinion, there are much easier ways to swing a golf club. The best advice that Moe ever gave me was "Swing like you, not like me".

    First time I saw Moe , he drove into a driving range where i was hitting balls -clearly knew the owner who was about to close - the two of them chatted as Moe hit driver off packed dirt lies in front of the tees - range balls - no tee and a club he grabbed out of a barrel. 20 in a row pure as the driven snow - never stopped talking the whole time - amazing man.

    Loved Mo. He taught me how I can play with the baseball grip since I have small wrists and never could get comfortable using interlocked grip. Best score was 67 and no bogeys with one eagle. Moe will always have a place in my heart and the love of golf he gave me. You get out of golf what you put in it. It is not forgiving.

    I recently adopted Moe's left foot movement, it really has a stabilizing effect on my swing, I strike ball more accurately. Yesterday despite my left knee injury, with Moe's footwork, I managed to walk the 18 holes, and shot a nice 82. I didn't has presssure on aching knee as the move doesn't require a knee twist. I feel like I can swing like this well into my 80's without a knee replacement. And that's a master move, I recommend it.

    Bless his heart - even though it failed him in the end. Moe was remarkable - his confidences as a golfer was remarkable, as a person off the course he felt life was imposed upon him - that's my best guess He mentioned one time how he would, as a pre-teen caddie in Canada, sleep in the first hole bunker and be ready to "catch the first loop at sunrise." Moe Norman was incredible … in so many ways.

So many turned their back on this lonely man who put many pro golfers in the shade! I feel we were robbed in not viewing Moe and his swing when he was in his prime!

    Great ball striker and mad respect for Moe, but it's always interesting to hear guys describe what the feel like they are doing vs what they are actually doing. He talks about no, or very little hip turn. Everything about his swing is pretty compact. I'd say he has a decent amount of hip turn for his compact swing.

    I'm with Moe, I tried focusing on hip turn for a long time, dragged me off the ball and and took my focus away from what shoulders arms and hands were doing. Dragging straight down from the top of the back swing like Fred Couples changed everything for me, all my distances were corrected, 170 for 7 iron etc, and it was effortless

  • @jordy46682
    @jordy46682 Před 6 lety +8

    Feel vs Real is very easy to mock when you see someone else but do it yourself and then film it and you won't understand your body anymore! I considered myself to be quite in tune with my body and my feel was that I was doing something so incredibly awkward and my hands were straight above my head when literally they were around my waist!!
    Moe Norman was a professional golf player - one of the 0.1% of all golfers. He hit 90% fairways during his career! That is insane and most likely by all eye witness and professional accounts he hit 9% in the first cut and 1% was a "bad" shot.
    He once hit a ball over a bridge on purpose in order to carry the water his ball otherwise would have gone in... Let that sink in for a moment. This was not a hacker with tall tales, this was a pro on the circuit with media coverage and people around him. Despite the mockery he got for obviously being a bit "different" - his ability spoke for itself, when Tiger Woods and Nick Faldo called him the best ball striker they've ever seen, why would they lie? They have no reason to stroke his ego!
    The first time I watched him I was also like, this is an obvious joke, but when you read the stats and see the facts, it becomes even worse but then you get over your cognitive dissonance and see that if it wasn't for him being so abused because of how different he was especially in a very alpha male dominant era previously in the PGA, he would have been regarded as one of the best ever to play the game and surprising that people who actually did see him play and followed him including major golf stars, do hold him in that regard!

    I remember working on the golf course and seeing Moe and Nick "the wedge" all the time. Quite the pairing that is for sure. Moe was always playing three balls and it was bizarre how accurate he was with every club. A chatter box that did not make much sense most of the time and to say he did not like talking to strangers is an understatement. In this day of modern treatment for problems with which he suffered he might have been able to make it on the tour.

    With all his great ball striking what was even more remarkable is his ability to transfer his weight to his left side. Even in his later years he had enough rotation in his left hip to allow his left foot to stay planted as he rotated to his finish. Flexibility in the body pivot is one of the keys to a consistent repeatable swing.

      So what moe had accomplished in his career was truly amazing, living a life of being laughed at and ridiculed.
      I'm not hating on Ben Hogan or the other great golfer's who have played this beautiful game and helped get it into what we have today, but what if they were dealt the same hand as moe, would Jack Nicklaus have won 18 majors ?, would we have seen Arnie army ?, or would Ben Hogan be know as the man with the greatest swing but was an odd ball because he was different and not accepted?.

He was considered one of Europe's best ball strikers by swinging the club between his legs to keep the ball low.

    The Iconic 'Pipeline' Moe Norman. Feeling of Greatness. The Master Move. Vertical Drop, with the Horizontal Tug. Cinderella Story.... tears in his eyes.
    Love this Norman story...
    Pipeline Moe was known for his unconventional behavior on the course. It is said that on one hole his caddie told him he could get to the green with a driver and a 9-iron. Naturally, he hit a 9-iron off the tee, and then hit the green with his driver.
    RIP Legend.

    Vertical drop = right elbow dropping down to the right hip

    • @davidstevens3934
      @davidstevens3934 Před 5 lety +1

      I think this sort of misses the point of what he's saying. You can drop your right elbow but get the club too vertical and lose all timing, lag and accuracy (of the ball on the right spot on the club face).
      I know it because i've lived it - shooting many, many, many soul destroying, club breaking rounds.
      The important thing for me is left forearm/wrist rotation. Keep them rotated clockwise during the drop - don't unwind them. This keeps the club behind you (as Moe mentions) and makes it very difficult to miss the ball with the middle of the club face.
      I have shot low rounds before but never really knew why. Then had terrible rounds shortly after. I shot 108 at a reasonably tough course 1 week. The following week I had worked out the above and shot 73. I was 1 under par with 1 to play but choked on the last (par 72) 😂
      Hope this helps the dedicated golfers that have discovered Moe Norman.

      You never pull the handle to the BALL. This is a death move that will make the club vertical. You throw the handle to your TARGET down the line. This will flatten your downswing club plane automatically and maintain the clubs position behind the hands. Throwing anything at the ball, even the clubhead, is a disaster.

    • @congero113
      @congero113 Před 8 lety +4

      The movement is minimal compared to average. Watch closely you will see how his right hip resists moving out towards the ball on the downswing. It pauses and then gets pulled around by the club after impact. You will see many top players who have this hip pausing move, most notable today might be McIlroy on the PGA and Ko on the LPGA. This controlled hip move makes the swing more itself controlled which you can see with Mo. He looks absolutely rock solid stable and in balance all the way to the finish. Impressive.

He is absolutely terrible as a coach and owner despite being the greatest to ever play the game. Same reason Derrick Jeter could hit it and catch it all over the yard but probably couldn't explain Bernoulli's principle or do the physics calculations which most precisely explain the ball's movements.
