Rare Moe Norman Video You Should Save and Watch Everyday

#moenorman #toddgraves #gravesgolf #golftips #golf

When I watch old videos of Moe, there are some videos of Moe Norman that help me visualize his golf swing the best. This particular video is the one that watch most often.

Moe's feelings are a treasure trove of great information. Comments like "I roll my ankles", "Buckle Sit Slide Bump" and "My hands never go around me" are tidbits of invaluable information.

Even though the quality of the video is not good, this particular footage helps me see his timing, tempo and technique.

I hope you enjoy this video as much as I do.

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.

as a young 14 years old teenager I caddied for a golfer from Alberta in the Quebec open in 67 or 68. one day I was in the same group as Moe and it was amazing to see him play. He was playing fast, was able to put a lot of spin, sometime he was hitting and not even looking where the ball was going because he knew he hit a good one. Of course he was a special golfer and human being but a treat for me to watch. He was friendly with caddies. I saw also Georges Knudson on the range also a very good ball striker.
Good memories

All he is doing is explaining his swing feels and thoughts in these videos. Quite the treasure man. Thank you!

First of all I think that Moe is a golfing genius. He makes it look so easy. Secondly I wish you guys were based in the United Kingdom so I could get some lessons from you in person. Thanks for keeping the legend of Moe Norman alive . 😊

Like any great "artist", Moe was little known during his lifetime, (outside of golf circles) despite his ball-striking prowess. Thanks for maintaining his legacy and perpetuating the best golf swing ever. I use it every game and I would NEVER go back to conventional as my back would never allow it.

I have a running conversation with Mo every morning on the course. Watching your videos and learning anything and everything about Mo changed my game. Thank you, and I cant wait for his movie to come out next year.

I am self taught, never had a pro lesson but played lots of sports. I could break 100 but was stuck in the 90’s for 25 yrs. Ran in to back trouble and it got so bad I had zero confidence with a club in my hand. Wouldn’t even carry a driver in my bag. I was faced with quitting or learning properly once and for all. Took Graves golf academy online lessons. Watched every video I could of Moe. Spent a whole winter indoor golf completely rebuilding my whole swing from the ground up or as Todd and Moe would say, from the Impact position. With solid striking came added confidence. Summer came and I got to play a difficult private course. Shot 79 first time breaking 80. Week later shot 81 same track. Next game hit two flag sticks in the round shot 83 different track. Never been happier. Driver is now my confidence club and I can call my shot. Still need to improve with putter and short game but My appreciation level for Moe and Todd’s life quest to teach his rhythm man is out of this world honestly!

Moe gave me the confidence to use the baseball grip. I felt so uncomfortable using the “official golf grip” and was struggling. It took a few years starting in my late 40s to get down to a 2 handicap. I hit 500 balls a day in my apartment until I perfected my swing. I Thank moe for that.

I first saw footage of moe 2 years ago. His ball striking was superb and i immediately set out to replicate it. Many fittings later, and totally forgetting about moe, and where i got mt swing from. i am now shooting low 80s on one of the hardest courses in my state. Moe, im glad i found you again. Youre going to make par with me. Like you have with so many other folks carrying your tradition.

So there’s this golfer named Marco Aref who might actually be the second coming of Moe. His swing just naturally looks just like him. He absolutely stripes it and quite similar to Moe, he hits roughly 600 balls per day. Currently the top ranked amateur in Canada and only getting better by the day. Keep a look out for him Todd, he really is something special. Thanks for posting!

I've had numerous lessons and changed my swing, grip, posture everything and I was still failing all the time, chunks thins slices hooks and I was about to quit !! I watched moe norman on YouTube and I went to the range and tried his swing today and honestly I left the range with a massive smile on my face ! I was hitting the ball straight constantly I am going to continue with this swing and fine tune it I honestly couldn't believe how easy it was ! I'm tall like 6 foot 2 so having my stance wider really helps me ! Cheers moe norman you legend r.i.p 🙏

I think my favorite part of these old videos is just listening to the audience members in the background. Eventually there is always one person after 20 or so balls that you will hear laugh from amazement and disbelief. Would have been awesome to see one of Moe’s demos in person.

Thanks so much for the video Mr.Graves. The most important thing I got from it was at the beginning. It was when Mr. Normon said you could stand next to him on his left side, and he would never hit you. I've learned so much from watching him. Thanks again sir.

found out about Moe the other day - absolutely incredible stuff, working on the natural golf swing now. All of this old footage is gold

[norfolknwhey]

The way he just clips the ball perfectly every single time is incredible. Identical sound each time Moe touches a golf ball.

[kusler]

Thank you so much for posting this. I really appreciate seeing footage of Moe I haven't seen before. Thank you!

Hello Todd. I say this sincerely, “Moe Norman was a golfing genius, but unfortunately, Moe was ahead of his time. A time when the main swing focus was directed towards Hogan, Nicklaus & Snead, etc. How fortunate you were to have met with, and been taught by Moe, on a swing so simple as 1-2-3 (quoting Moe), and I believe it would be fair to say that Moe would be one, if not #1, of the top coaches, globally!” Tiger Woods said, “…only two golfers ever owned their swing, Ben Hogan & Moe Norman!” Lee Trevino said. “He’s Pipeline Moe, the greatest striker of a golf ball, ever!” Many laughed at this eccentric golfer from Canada, but thousands more loved to watch a genius, not at work, just having fun hitting millions of golf balls, everyday of his golfing life! …I ask you kindly and sincerely, “Will Graves Golfing Academy look towards the future of Moes’ legacy by establishing teaching academies internationally, in say - the UK, Australia/NZ and/or SE Asia?” I would be customer #1 when the Graves Academy first opened its doors in Melbourne, Australia. Any likelihood of that happening Mr Graves🙏😃? Many thanks for presenting these unique videos of Moe. I look forward to watching many more.🇦🇺👍

This is an absolute gem of a video! Thanks for posting.

I find it interesting that the guy I just started taking lessons from has me doing pretty much all of this just with more of a traditional setup. Very cool stuff. Thanks

[Dreweldeenknives]

I watch these videos and your videos every single day multiple times a day because it’s so special what you are teaching

[ebenlaubscher]

I have trained myself to swing this way . I studied and copied many others. His method is stupidly easy . My son is a strong boy starting golf .This method is easy to teach and spares your back . Once it clicks in, you wonder why you struggled for thirty years
