Moe Norman's comeback in my mind.

Why I'm interested.

I'll see Yoda in April and I'll have a long list of questions. Once he answers two, I'm sure the rest will be logically deduced and I'll feel like an idiot.

But what Yoda and LBG golf have shown me is the bio-mechanical logic of Plane - based golf. So, every good swing (effective swing) should be a different perspective on the same paradigm, with various compensations (fewer are better).

So hello Mr. Norman! Notes to myself:

1) I've used his swing to shoot an 84 in competition on a course I never saw before and it should've been sub 80 with a little local knowledge.

2) My version of Moe's swing really hits down on the ball and that is so effective.

3) My FBRW holds my whole left hand and is firm while being pulled by the Pivot.

4) Due to some geometry I haven't deduced, Moe's backswing is very effective when hands are shoulder high with EA and RFT or a very slow backward lag to end (shoulders) and a feeling of my front knee being very flexed and the downswing and pull through governed by that strong forward Pivot by straightening that front leg. Half backswing + Full Pivot =250 yard straight drive and solid straight contact with all other clubs being hit down including driver.

5) A wider closed stance makes staying on plane in the downswing easy. The more my front knee bends, the more powerful the Pivot and the straighter and further I hit every club. Norman shot a 60 when he was 65. I'm 52 and will settle for a 65 several times each year until I am 70. : )

6) Stable head over back knee or somewhere allows for full extension and power.

More to come.
