As the previous comment if the swing was so good why didn’t he win
Majors,tour events etc ?
Wonderful individual and great swing.. Anyone know why he missed the cut
twice at the Masters? I would love to hear that story.
This guy is awesome. I’m just getting back into golf and love Moe’s
approach to striking the ball! Thanks for the video’s I might have to try
this way, I can’t get consistent good hits the traditional way.
What irons was Moe using in this video? Never seen anything like them.
I guess it goes to show ball striking is important, but not the most
important. Ben Hogan was also a great striker but won so much more. Why
wasn’t Moe more successful?
There is more golf swing wisdom in this little video than the sum of all
golf swing books put together. “Simple” according to Moe, because he
whittled his swing down to essentials and eliminated all irrelevant motion.
Though not stated, he seems to have learned over time that lifting the arms
above their original starting plane relative to the torso is wasted energy.
If using common sense to swing the club concisely and simply makes him a
genius, then he was a genius, because, in essence, that is all he really
did.
Great post Kirk. I never tire of watching this video.
Not sure who comment from dash is referring to, but I”ll assume it is me.
Charlies is a highly competive individual use to winning. This swing would
give him the best chance to do so. This not an opinion, it, it is a fact.
Moe Norman “I feel it to the hole.” KarterKleen “man, I don’t play
golf….but I kinda could relate to that feeling lol”
To Steve Prichard, Sir list your golfing acheivements, if they exceed Moes,
then you have the right to declare his claims as BS as you say. Also Moe
had a serious head injury as a child, so, Moe was different. As the French
say “Vive la difference”. You appear boring and normal. Run along now and
take your predjudice with you
I am going to try to the Moe Norman grip. Just took some practices swings
in my basement, and it felt great. Going to the range in a couple of days.
Moe, just like Trevino, Furyk and the other delightfully oddball swings,
that are about past and present, is part of what fascinates us about this
game, and just demonstrates that there is no ‘one way’ to do it.
People should just enjoy Moe and his unique method for what they are,
unique in character and a unique swing.
All this guff about the ‘single plane’ swing being the easiest or most
efficient way of swinging is just nonsense, just like the mythical
‘conventional’ swing, it takes an extraordinary amount of talent, practice
and dedication to achieve the level that Moe has reached.
Go to the range, take some basic fundamentals and hit thousands of balls
and you’ll come up with YOUR OWN swing, one that will be aligned to your
own unique body and pyschological characteristics, just like Moe and all
the rest did.
Because your personal characteristics will always emerge, so no matter how
much you copy a swing it will never be ‘yours’, and will fail you,
especially under pressure.
Well, I tried Moe’s technique at the driving range. I fully expected it to
feel and do gawd awful. It was actually terrific. The palm hold was great.
It felt like I had such great control of the club. It didn’t flip, I hit
straighter than ever. On the range, I realize. But I could do Moe’s swing
immediately. Learning curve of near zero. Second day on the range was even
better. Next: the real thing. The golf course. But his technique is far
easier than I could imagine.
Let me have Charles Barclay for 2 months and then maybe people will
understand y Moe’s swing makes so much sense!
Too much bs for me! “Hadn’t missed a fairway in 7 years?” “Never made a
bogey?” BS! Moe is a lying narcissist. Reminds me of Obama.
He was so good thanks for video can bolive 7 years play never hit out of
bounce
Well said @saint !
Kirk, thanks for posting the full version of Shankland’s brilliant Moe
Norman documentary in only 2 parts. Best quality I’ve seen too. Love
listening to what Moe says he does and seeing that he’s just like the rest
of us — in that when we watch our swing on video we realize we’re not
doing what we would say we are doing.
I’m awed by the fact that Moe Norman never takes a practice swing. Never. I
see him as an autistic golf swing savant.
My reasoning is this. In this session, if you go frame by frame, from swing
to swing, the are biomechanically exactly the same. Over and over again he
performs an identical swing sequence with the precision of a gold medal
Olympic marksman.
This is absolute Gold Kirk. Thank you sharing this special chapter in golf
history, the history of the pure ballstrikers: Hogan, Knudson and greatest
of them all, Moe Norman.
Truly a legend
Rainman
It’s true he could hit it straight and pure, but how can this swing hit it
more than 200 yards. There’s got to be a reason golf is not taught this way
by PGA pros. It must be because you can’t par holes 350 or more.
Talks a good game I’ll give him that
this guy is an idiot.
Moe had some brian injuries from a toboggan accident as a child… Take the
message, don’t judge the messenger. You would not have believed his
striking ability.
Good stuff, Mo didnt want to be in a room full of A$$ holes.
Hi mark can u make a video on should u use iron head covers or not …
Thanks loky
1st
His shoulders spin out
We need more golf matches with Gorilla and Rory. They are by far my
favourite videos to watch that you do!
When I first saw this tip from Mark in an earlier video it was the all time
best swing thought for me. I’ve found it hard to fully groove, but he’s
right about it completely transforming the swing and ball flight.
This is my swing issue. Good tip (heard it numerous times from Parfield
#nothingmatters).
Gonna try it next time I’m out
Still laughing at that ‘gul walking back and forth.
Guys a way to fix this swing, is to pretend that you hitting a baseball
bat.
*an
Great Video again Mark. Thanks so much!
I think that this will help me a lot Mark. Cheers.
This works for me. Been searching for this tip from prior videos.
Hi mark do you think you could do a comparison between i25 and karsten
irons? Thankyou
should we try to move our hands down and try to keep a steepest angle
possible with our wrists and club shaft basically?
Love how many times Mark sets up to the ball to hit then steps off haha
What I do is, if I’m swinging from 4 o’clock to 10 o’clock with 9 o’clock
being the target I try to keep my right thumb facing 4 o’clock and my right
palm facing 1 o’clock (perpendicular). Perfect swing every time.
Hi Mark,
Good Video, but realise that he is also flipping the club head through at
impact. See the position of the club handle and his arms immediately after
impact.
Thanks for the video mark. Dropping the club head behind me has really
helped my path. Along with another video you posted about pushing your
back pocket behind you (hip turn) has really improved my contact on a
consistent basis. Thanks for the videos. Keep them coming!
