Practice year after year and still not getting better? That was me. I worked with top instructors, spent the money, put in the hours, and somehow got worse. The problem wasn’t effort. It was the system. The conventional swing puts you too close to the ball, arms hanging down,... show more

Struggling with your golf swing for years? The problem may not be your effort. It may be the setup. Most golfers are taught a complicated swing starting with an unnatural address position. Moe Norman simplified it with the single plane swing. By lifting the arms, tilting the body, and setting the club on plane at address, the swing becomes more natural, repeatable, and easier to return to impact. Less manipulation. Less moving parts. More consistency. #SinglePlaneSwing #MoeNorman #GolfTips #GolfSwing #ToddGraves

If your golf swing doesn’t feel natural, you may be making it too complicated. Think about skipping a rock. Your body tilts, your arm moves naturally, and your motion flows toward the target. That same feeling should show up in your swing. Set up in a position that lets the club move back and through naturally, without forcing it. When the swing feels like skipping a rock, the club starts moving on plane with less effort and fewer moving parts. Simplify the motion. Let it feel natural. #SinglePlaneSwing #GolfSwing #GolfTips #BallStriking #ToddGraves

Moe Norman discovered a more natural way to swing a golf club, one that used the human body efficiently to produce power, accuracy, and consistency. His Single Plane Golf Swing starts the club on the same plane as impact, simplifying the motion and reducing unnecessary movement. The result is a swing that's easier on the body and easier to repeat. Get a copy of my new book by visiting my website. #SinglePlaneSwing #MoeNorman #ToddGraves

Most instructors missed that the golf swing is actually simple, and Moe Norman proved it every time he hit a ball. Moe understood the club is really just a 3-foot hammer—weight on the end of a stick. While most golfers set up with their arms disconnected, Moe lined the club up with his arms, creating one straight line. That’s the beauty of the Single Plane Swing. Take it back… bring it straight back down. No wasted motion. No extra moving parts. Just simple, natural, and repeatable. Moe figured out the most natural way for the human body to strike a golf ball. #MoeNorman #SinglePlaneSwing #GolfTips #BallStriking #ToddGraves

Moe Norman made the golf swing repeatable by removing the extra moving parts. Instead of forcing the body to recover from a complicated two-plane setup, the single plane swing starts closer to impact. Trail arm aligned. Club aligned. Body tilted. Hands positioned. Less compensation. Less timing. More repeatable impact. Simple enough to feel laughable, but powerful enough to change your ball striking. #MoeNorman #SinglePlaneSwing #GolfSwingTips #BallStriking #ToddGraves

Swing ON PLANE if you want more Straight Shots Josh had more planes than Heathrow! So, we simplified his take away with the help of an alignment stick as feedback How you start the swing will influence the rest: Josh would whip it inside and then up high making it very difficult to pivot the body well and deliver the club from a good place. We got Josh to stop at waist height as a check point and then feel a good pivot to the top where his arms were a little flatter. The result in the downswing was a much shallower approach leading to better turf interation and a more predictable straighter ball flight. #golf #golftips

One of Moe Norman's greatest lessons was simple: Don't hit the ball, swing through it. Most golfers focus on impact. Moe focused on a smooth swing all the way to the finish. His right hand simply went along for the ride while the lead side controlled the motion. That simple approach helped him hit the ball straighter, more consistently, and with less effort. #MoeNorman #SinglePlaneSwing #GolfTips #GolfSwing #TheIntelligentGolfSwing

With the announcement of Tiger Woods’ 7th back operation, I have to ask — is the modern golf swing setting up an entire generation of golfers for injury? That style with the feet planted, the vertical jump, and steep shoulders puts tremendous strain on the lower back. I know, because years ago I tried to “drop it under” like the modern pros — and it nearly ended my game. That injury led me back to the Classic Golf Swing — the one I was taught as a kid, the one that’s stood the test of time. It’s easier on my back, more natural on the body, and I can still hit the ball long and straight. If you’re struggling with back pain or feel like your swing is fighting your body, it might be time to look into the Classic Swing. It changed everything for me. I’ll be teaching it in person at my upcoming schools: 📍 November 8th – One-Day Masterclass in Dallas 📍 December 6th & 7th – Classic Swing Weekend Golf School in Dallas Enrollment is limited, and the weather will be perfect. For details, email me at christo@classicswing.golf

Most golfers place the club right behind the ball and never question it. Moe Norman did the opposite. By setting the club behind the ball, he effectively started part of the backswing before the swing even began. That meant less movement, fewer moving parts, and an easier path back to impact. The goal wasn't to create a unique look. The goal was to eliminate unnecessary motion. Less motion = less timing. Less timing = more consistency. That's why Moe built simplicity into the swing before he ever took the club back. 👉 #MoeNorman #SinglePlaneSwing #GolfSwing #BallStriking

Hitting Dumbed Down -Ever feel like you’re dragging the barrel too far when you start your swing? You’re not alone—THIS HITTER struggled with the same issue.” Instead of getting on plane early and driving the ball, the barrel was dragging, getting stuck, and leading to weak ground balls and pop ups the other way THIS HITTERS THOUGHT/ fix? “Think about slicing your shoulder toward the ball. Don’t let your barrel drift too far behind.” “When you ‘slice the shoulder,’ you create a tighter, more efficient turn behind the ball, staying on plane longer and driving through the pitch.” “The result for him? More consistent contact, more power, and the barrel is exactly where it needed to be.” “If you have this issue & Next time you’re in the cage, focus on slicing that shoulder—it could be the key to unlocking your best swing.” “Tag someone who needs this tip, and let’s get to work! 💪⚾””””for those not in at Tampa Bay, I do a remote training via the SEAMSUP APP.

Want more speed?? Don’t just swing your arms harder... The SLR3 Bumblebee helps you feel that sequence, build lag naturally, and learn when to release it instead of forcing the club from the top.

Every golfer in the world has 2 choices when he hits the golf ball…. Adduct your lead hip to initiate the takeaway (see Jackson Koivun)…. Abduct your reap hip to initiate the takeaway (see Bryson DeChambeau)… If you swing like Jackson that means your left shoulder flexed when you put both hands on the club… If you swing like Bryson that means your right shoulder flexed when you put both hands on the club…. The manner in which you secure the club and approach the ball is how you control how your body moves when you swing the golf club….

Most golfers think speed comes from swinging harder. Moe Norman proved it comes from releasing better. One of Moe's most overlooked moves happened after impact. As his lead arm naturally folded, it allowed the club to release without forcing it. No manipulation. No holding on. Just efficient motion. The result? ✅ More clubhead speed ✅ Better face control ✅ A freer, more natural finish Great ball striking isn't just about the backswing. The way you move through impact matters just as much. 👉 #MoeNorman #SinglePlaneSwing #GolfSwing #GolfTips #BallStriking #GolfInstruction #GravesGolf #GolfLesson #GolfTraining #GolfLife

When I asked Grok if these modern swings were in danger of hurting players over time, this was the response: “Yes, the swing shown in this video carries a higher-than-average risk of contributing to lower back problems over time, especially if continued with high frequency and volume into middle age and beyond (50s and older).” That’s exactly why I believe so strongly in the classic golf swing. It’s more efficient, more balanced, and far easier on the body—especially the lower back. Done correctly, it’s a swing you can play for a lifetime, not just your 30s and 40s. If you want to learn how to protect your body and play better golf, I’ll be teaching my next Classic Swing Golf School on February 28th. Email me for details: christo@classicswing.golf

Tiger Woods once said only two golfers truly owned their swings: Ben Hogan and Moe Norman. Why? Because owning your swing means you don't have to rely on perfect timing. You return the club to impact the same way, over and over again. Moe's approach was built around starting in a position that made impact easier to repeat. Fewer compensations. Fewer moving parts. More consistency. The best ball strikers don't chase positions during the swing. They build a setup that makes the right positions happen naturally. 👉 #TigerWoods #MoeNorman #BenHogan #SinglePlaneSwing #GolfSwing #BallStriking #GolfTips #GravesGolf #GolfInstruction #GolfLessons

Stop drifting after you land. A lot of hitters think they need to keep moving forward after foot plant to create power. In reality, that forward drift often causes the barrel to work down through and under the ball. Instead, rotate behind your contact point. Keep your head stable, create more space, and give the barrel a better path through the zone. HEAD - down and back slightly OK✅ MOVING FORWARD AS YOU SWING❌ Train with an expert, not an influencer.
