Getting to the point of my post,I had a delve into the MOE NORMAN one plane swing,I couldnt believe the resulting ball flight and consistancy of the strike,on looking closer at the alighnments they are very similar to homers teachings,ON PLANE..LEVER ALIGHNMENTS,footwork is very different but in saying that,I found that my body isnt all over the shop,hence my ability to make better ball contact.
I am looking forward to any and all comments on this swing method.Thanks TERRY
Moe was a unique golfer and a friend of LBG. The problem I see is that many who teach his golf stroke, teach a stroke that is not what Moe used. Even Moe didn't know what was going on in his swing- scientifically. Example- Moe always claimed that his clubhead went further down the line straight then any other golfers clubhead did and that this is how the club most be released when actually his clubhead turned inside to the left after impact - the geometric circle. His hands continued to drive toward the "target" but he 'felt; clubhead. Moe did NOT use Vertical hinge action to keep the clubhead square throughout impact which is the only way he could do what he thought he did. ( see what Homer cn do to you )
Moe and many instructors say the left arm is one plane when it is the right arm- the right forearm horizontal plane that is on plane into impact.
Natural golf instruction, which I feel is not Moe's Swing at all, say the hips need to be square at impact when Moe's hips begin and are opening before impact. Again we benefit from studying Homer Kelley via Lynn Blake.
Natural golf instructors tell you that address and impact are the same-- that is why a single axis/single plane of the shaft is important. But we know that address and Impact are very different and this is why a single plane/axis is not the objective.
As I said Moe is well respected by LBG- we just have a Homer Kelley eye on his golf stroke that doesn't always match the common thought of what he did. And when you see his swing through the eyes of Homer Kelley- it becomes a thing of beauty- a machine based stroke for sure.
