Moe Norman was the greatest ball-striker that has ever lived. In this video he demonstrates hitting easy drivers and discusses how he leads with the left arm. In doing so, he begins swinging the driver easy, hitting shots 150 and 200 yards.
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.

Why did Moe address the ball with the clubhead at least a few inches behind the ball. Thanks Todd!
As “Kenny Bania” from Seinfeld might say “Gold Jerry! Gold!!” Seriously this is so personal to me since I struggle with over doing it. Thanks T!
Good point Todd! Can’t do it slow, then you can do it fast. Im Going to have to slow things down . I have to give this go.
Thanks, Todd.
Hi Todd: thanks for your teachings about Moe's swing. One thing I'm still missing is this:
Moe was left-handed and played right-handed golf. Anyone analyzing Moe's swing has to keep that in mind! I'm right-handed, playing left-handed and I'm very right-sided dominant (I do everything right-handed that doesn't require 2 hands on a club or racket; also write right-handed). Leading with the dominant arm has never been an issue for me, but the power comes from the less dominant side. Since my dominant hand is leading I don't have any break-down of the lead wrist and my impact is very solid. However, all sorts of various issues can (and will) arise by that: like coming over the top, pulling so hard with the dominant side that the less dominant has no chance to catch up, etc … Therefore when analyzing and teaching Moe's swing it is imho very important to understand and study the neurological part of ones swing like, which side is the dominant side, etc. Only then can you work on what the strength and weakness of one's swing is. Keep it in the fairway!
Btw: Brian Harman, who just won The Open is a right-handed Leftie also 😉
Been practicing my moe norman swing, not the longest but consistent and less side spin!
Awesome video!! Thank you
Todd, I am 56 and just frustrated with my game. I recently retired and found your videos a week ago. I have spent hours on the range, rewatched you're videos numerous times, and played three rounds after practicing. I am seeing very good results and keep going back to the basics in the process when something goes wrong. I'm getting much better contact and ball flight with accuracy. My driver is going about 260-270 and STRAIGHT! I honestly cant Thank you enough for making these videos!
I don't understand what he's saying about the hips never moving?🤔
Great lesson! I used to play exactly like this for years. 200 yards off the tee, in the short grass, make par or bogey at worse. Go home with a round in the 80s, usually beat everyone in the group.
will do it tomorrow! im playing in my 90s, in less than 1 year training
Smooth, good contact swings are also very productive when hitting into a headwind.
Shot 77,77 two days in a row . Still missing my target line left
The easy smooth swing… The ball travel further and straighter and you stay in balance.
This is exactly how I gradually worked up to hitting my driver consistently down the middle. Great video, Todd..and it works!
