Mistake-proof Your Golf Swing Like Bryson DeChambeau

- Can you have a golf swing that is mistake proof? This is exactly what Bryson DeChambeau has been displaying as he continues to be one of the most successful players on the PGA Tour. Even though I don't really believe in "secrets" I do believe that swing secrets are simply biomechanical advantages established from how you position the body to strike a ball on the ground with a stick.
The Single Plane Golf Swing Book: www.amazon.com...
What is a mistake-proofing a golf swing? It means that you have a biomechanical advantage. It can be described as a position of the body that creates an advantage whereby eliminating variables. The elimination of the angle of the wrist at address, fully reaching the maximum ulnar deviation of the lead wrist, created a biomechanical advantage for Moe Norman and is also why Bryson DeChambeau is quickly becoming the next great ball striker on the PGA Tour.
We call this elimination of the angle - The Single Plane Golf swing which starts the club, through the proper ulnar deviation, on the same plane as impact. The Single Plane swing a biomechanical advantage, and 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.

To start learning the Single Plane golf swing, I produced a pocket guide that you can take to the golf course or the range. You can pick up a pocket guide here: SwingPocketGuide.com.
bro... i apreciate the simplicity but the swing is ugly
In your preset should you have your left knee slightly flexed so you make sure to hit that point on the downswing transition? @toddgraves
@@matthewhennessy257 No. I dont recommend that.
the swing pocket guide link doesn't work...
@@AGB-vy2ci Try again. Seems to be working now.
Chiropractor here. As someone who studies human movement this makes complete sense. Everything about close packed positioning is correct. The same principles we apply to manual adjustments to repeat consistent treatments every time. When I watched Bryson drive his way to US Open victory I wondered how he could rip it fearlessly down narrow fairways with devastating rough either side. Now I realise that his swing eliminates deviate movement errors using this method. Amazing work! Thanks for the video
Closed pack of wrist is not UD
He "ripped it fearlessly" ... because he didn't care if he got in the rough. He just muscled it out of there . I beleive he "set a record" for LEAST fairways hit of any U.S Open champion :/
Chiropractors are made fun of constantly because what they do isn't a science and totally only produces temporary results, but chiropractors have crippled others. You might not lead with that in the future because it makes you look stupid
Thank you this is great for someone re-entering the golf game that left because of frustration with inconsistency 👍👍
Holy Cow!! excellent video. I've golfed for 20 years. Tried it at the range Friday, Saturday 18 holes, Range Sunday, Sunday 18 holes, I hit nearly every single fairway. What shocked me the most - the ball flight path - solid straight forward with no fade or draw - perfectly straight! Eyes on target - ball goes there. I'm loving this so much. Thank you for breaking it down in a way which translates to the average golfer like me. I also applied to my rescue - clean , perfect contact with great ball flight and distance.
I adopted this swing in the mid '90's from the original Golf Digest tape. Made me straighter, just as long, and no more back problems. It's liberating to know that when you stand over the ball, you'll make more solid contact and it will be straighter and in play.
I had the privilege to sit with a half dozen others before an exhibition Moe did near where I live and listen to him talk about not just the mechanics of the golf swing, but on the mental side. 'If you think you can, you will. If you think you can't, you won't." And that's a lesson for more than your golf game.
Nice too see you carrying on his memory Little Moe.

No back problems sounds wonderful!
Great story!! And that quote "If you think you can, you will" especially applies to making putts!
Hi. I am a sixty-eight year old South African Male, playing off a HI of 12. I "switched" to this Single Plane swing after our lockdown (from about August 2020) after reading your book review and fell in love with this single plane, AGAIN. I am a Bryson fan now but always was a Moe Norman fan BUT couldn't grasp his "positions" - you clarified them now. I am still not consistently straight but when it "comes together" it feels amazing. I used to hit them slightly left but a comment I saw when you explained the "slightly-still-open-face" just before impact might solve this for me. Thanks for the change you inspired in my golf and this pocket guide is a great help. keep up the good work, Regards. Keith Els
Wow. I just watched Phil Michelson post round interview in the Travelers. The awe and respect he voiced for Bryson shocked me. He was almost speechless describing the distance/accuracy that Bryson is achieving.
Thats good.
I've been waiting for a pro golfer to swing like Moe for 20+ years. He'll be a threat on tour for many years to come.
@@leonsphinx4601 Indeed. I met him in 98 at golf clinic. Learned more that day than any lesson I ever took.
You were lucky.
Bryson is quickly becoming the standard of what bar is being set on tour now, his drive is untouchable!🤯
It will be interesting to see if his body will hold up.
@@stevenlowe4230 Bryson's drive is untouchable because he is the biggest guy on tour not because of this method of swing. If you look at the Pro's on club tracer, 90% of them swing on one plane with the conventional setup. Tiger's swing is a perfect one plane swing.
As a 51 year old low hcp player with massive back pain past 2 months it AMAZED me going to the range only bringing that driver to check if rumors about less strain to ur back is a reality!! Ball #1 was unreal (trust me ... i thought this was crap before i hit a ball... just needed to try anything) ... it didn't only go straight AND longer than my average .... it took NO EFFORT other than strong comfortable setup and turn = bingo! I hit all 50 balls incredibly well and long ... faster ball speed and club head speed without me trying it ... flight was higher and more staple ... timing was easier ... BUUUUT if timing somehow got wrong i was on another planet right or left :P Average of those 50 (my first 50) like this was around 308 yards ... that's massive for an "old" guy with hcp 3 .... so i would suggest people trying it ... gradually getting there and back to their old swing to figure out where their middle is. Good luck .... loved it ... thx for that NO PAIN SWING ;)
Great to hear that you are helping your back and no more pain.
This is encouraging, i have real issues with L5 facet joint pain causing sciatica down both legs. I'm hopeful a swing change even at 55 years old and single figure handicap will keep me playing into my late 60's and early 70's. I'd be happy with the same distance i have now.
Hi, add turmeric to whatever you are cooking, even with salads, this will help your pain! Believe me as I suffered pain for years! I am now 69 years of age and am enjoying my golf day's with no pain what so ever!
What I love about this is that everything that could get out of sequence in my 6’4” 200lb frame is almost eliminated especially as my body and mind fatigue throughout the round or practice
I’m 6’6 and looking for a new set of irons. What do you swing and did you have to get them extended? My biggest issue on the course is the clubs are too small
@@benjamindecker3322 why don't you get the shafts fitted specifically for you?
This really helps us bigger guys. When I played a lot and was younger it drove me crazy how small the grips were. Now that I started playing again these larger grips make a huge difference is huge difference in consistency
@@benjamindecker3322 Get fitted if possible, if not look at the Ping fitting charts. Your wrist to floor measurement not the height really is the determining factor on club length.
I'm 6'3'' and run plus 1/2" due to my wrist to floor being 38" with a 2 degree upright lie as that's what a fitting from Callaway came out to be. The ping chart was really close only slightly off on lie angle.
Conventional Golf swing was killing my back after every round. I changed to a single plane swing last year after watching Mo and Todd and almost instantly my back pain stopped. I'm shooting in low 80's to mid 80's from 100 and it's so much more fun. Over this winter I will be working on my swing and tackling more challenging courses. Thanks
That's great to hear. Thanks for sharing.
Do you need single length clubs to switch?
Glad to hear that your back does not hurt!! Now you can enjoy golf again.
I’ve been working on this swing for 3 trips to the driving range and already have turned my ball contact and consistency up by 40%. It’s incredible the confidence you get so quickly from this style. I’m certain it would be as much of a privilege for me to learn this swing from you as it was for you to learn it from Moe!!! Thank you so much for this “golf gods” blessing...
Thank you.
I’ve been using the single plain for 25 years and never knew that’s what it was called LOL.
After watching yours and Moes videos over the last 2 weeks I tweaked a few things, grip and stance and wow what a difference. Every weekend golfer should learn the single plain and the simplicity of it. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Most Pro golfers swing on 1 plane even though they have the conventional setup. Tiger's swing is perfectly one plane.
I tried this swing without going on the range first as it resonated with me and I found it difficult to get a consistent swing before. I play off 15.
The first drive went left but after that, I hit 5 shots perfectly and straight down the middle. 4 pars in 9 holes and I'm hooked.
Good work bro
Great job.
This is the most clear explanation of the Single Plane Swing that you have done Todd! Well done! Thank you!
Can you do a series on the other clubs? I shoot mid 80's to 90's and use the driver about 5 times a round. Show us how to do this with a 7 iron in the rough, or off the deck but 2 inches below your feet.
My thoughts exactly
His last win Bryson hit a green with an 8 iron 210 out of rough with the same swing motion.
@@toddmallery8841 that shot was insane
@@lucasepps818 agree. I also believe though that he's putting a ton of stress on his young body with that unnatural crazy swing speed. It'll get some looks at his distances but it'll shorten his career. I sees injury plenty down road.
@@toddmallery8841 I saw that shot and heard the commentator mention the distance, had to rewind and watch it 3 times. Just insane!
Tried this out over the last week & it's incredible, to me I could never get a lot of yardage on my drives even though I put a lot of effort into it, with this stance & grip I can really let go & I'm getting more distance & straighter shots, the ball hits the club face more on line which gets the distance, I do not use this for my irons as that's not been a problem, but for driving & fairway woods it's been brilliant, thanks Todd.
Can you do a video like this hitting irons as well? I am sure much of this applies. Would just be cool/helpful to see examples like this with irons. Thanks for the video!
I would also love to see a video that shows how to apply this technique to irons.
Ditto. Would love to see how to translate this to irons as well. Please and thank you!
yes would be great
same swing and he uses the same length for all his irons, so it's all on the same plain
young chun yep which might be a good idea for more golfers
I have been using this method for over a year now and my drives have never been more consistent . What a great concept , i'm 78 and i can still play from the white tees with the young guys. I just wish i could as consistent with my irons, i see i have more work to do with them. This way is so easy on my back as well, keep the videos coming they are a god send
Just started golfing and this is how I taught myself to swing and everyone told me the issue with my slice was due to this. I'm glad I came across your video because now I can keep swing and be able to fix my slice
Great to hear!
How did you fix your slice using this swing? Asking for a friend.
@@malleus9778 Not the OP, but I realized that I have gradually been doing a very similar swing over the years based on what's been successfully for me. My guess on the slice elimination would have to be somewhat related to the ulnar deviation of the lead wrist. From the few videos on eliminating a slice I've seen from guys like crossfield, now this guy, and a few others, that essentially helps the club release with a more in to out path and keeps the club face closed. That promotes more of a draw/hook than a fade/slice. I've since moved into a push draw from a push slice. My miss is now just a block right vs a 60 yard slice, but when I hit it right it's a nice draw.
@@malleus9778 lol I haven't quite got it. But I stood up more in my stance and brought the ball in. I had the ball way ahead of me
@@stupidshot4PC I went golfing just last night (same night as my question to op) and you are absolutely right. Having the left hand "weak" (the back of the hand facing the same direction as the club face), and act as an extension of the arm changed everything. I also performed the other address positions and did the sequence best I could. No more slice! Had a few fades and still eff'd up a few shots due to careless alignment etc, but it was the best driving day I've had in a very long time. I just need to work on some flexibility in the back swing and timing but it really works. You can definitely get real serious power once you're able to sequence correctly and fully turn properly. I dont mean to sound too over the moon like a shill or something but before trying this, I was push slicing literally every single time and went to using my 4 iron for drives so I'm pretty thrilled.
You are right Todd in what you say that the single plain is the only way to swing the club and have consistency! I started late in life in playing golf and just like you in your younger days I got frustrated in wondering why one can't be consistent! I was 21 when I took the game up, am now 69 and now playing my best golf ever due too watching your video's - and Moe's! But still I was not consistent as there were times I was pulling the ball left! I clicked onto Brystons grip video and he showed us how one should hold the grip in the left hand which stops one pulling the ball left - ever!! I tried this grip and it changed my game! When you think of it - put your hands down by your side and look down at them - the v of your thumb and forefinger points to your shoulders! Yet golf tips on the net tell us to have our Vs pointing to our right shoulder! You are a great instructor Todd who does not need a board too read off as you have all this knowledge stored inside of you desperate to inform the world and that is what I love about you as you inform us viewers with your heart behind in what you are trying too put across to golfers and I can assure you - we hear and feel you! Thanks Todd!
You didn't talk about the left forearm variable which I heard Bryson say took out the inconsistency of his accuracy.
He supinates his left forearm (rotates to left max) ...so he wont have issues closing the face at different rates and amounts .
If he has his forearm more turned right (pronated) his arm is not at end range and timing gets involved with squaring the club face.
From this position you can get flippy with the left forearm through the hitting area
Where did you find this about his forearms? Is there some sort of animation or cad drawing that shows what you're talking about?
Excellent video instruction. I took a 10 year break from golf, but recently wanted to start playing again. I’ve played two 9 hole rounds and, excuse my French, I sucked! I almost quit before I really got started. But, I thought now would be the perfect time to change my swing. I searched TH-cam for “Easy repeatable Golf Swing”. Boom, there you were. I started watching your videos, but had to suffer through quarantine and couldn’t get to the range. I have been preaching in my backyard using the Single Plane Swing method. I can’t believe how much better I’m hitting the plastic balls! My quarantine ends next week so I’ll be on the course hitting for real. I can’t wait.
I may have made similar comments on a previous video, I apologize. But, I could not believe how much more consistent I was in the backyard compared to my previous Golf Swing... which, again, sucked!!!
I'm a powerlifter with very limited range of motion so this is gold for me!
Same
Totally unrelated
@@Lightrunnerr wrong
Todd, after watching your Single Plan golf swing and watch Bryson’s swing again. I tried to do the set up as your video, the 1st time yesterday at the golf simulator, I can hit 15 yards further already. This change is amazing.
Thanks so much….. will continue watching more of your videos. Thanks 😊 🙏 again.
Very proud that you had given a lot of credit to an amazing Canadian golf legend, Moe Norman. And very happy that you are passing on his valuable wisdom and tips to all us duffers.
Awesome video. I tried just the space elimination part before watching this video yesterday and hit my first 5 greens in regulation. Takes some getting used to, but can’t wait to get all the steps to muscle memory. So much more fun on the range than practicing same old swing. Thanks for lesson TG!
Glad it helped!
I tried literally 5 other on-line golf coaches before I found you Todd. I gave them all a fair chance at helping me (1 month or more) before I moved to the next one after being unsatisfied with my improvement. When I started with Graves Golf I showed immediate improvement, straight/solid and with some added distance. Now, I wasn’t perfect every shot but I felt so good about my progress. I recommend Graves Golf Academy to anyone and everyone wanting to feel great about there golf. Study, practice the drills and it will happen. Great training aids/equipment as well. What a blessing, seriously!!
Brother, I watched this video in between Zoom calls and had to take it to the range after work. I was crunching the ball better than I have in the past 3 years! This works people! Thank you so much.
Thank you!! I have just subscribed! This is how I was taught to swing 29 years ago! Through the years my swing was changed and all of a sudden Slice and no accuracy! So I am off to the driving range tomorrow to find my old swing!! You have a new Fan! Regards from South Africa!⛳️🏌🏻♀️🇿🇦
That's a great swing for the over 50 makes you also take your clubhead further out and limiting the over ht top like most people my age do
Yes I agree, it somehow takes the over-the-top swing out of the ball game. The swing has to shallow in the downswing because you're reaching out to the ball.
For me it worked and it was instantaneous.
The best driver swing video out there.
Is this same set up and swing applied to long irons, short irons and wedges?
long irons yes, not wedges..... look up Moe Norman
Great vid. Weight shift adds a ton of variability. Saw another pro analyze the right foot down move. Working on that so I don’t jump at the ball with my hips. Makes a huge difference 👍🏻 The hard part is limiting the range of motion and getting loose enough to actually swing. Takes many many hours of work realistically.
Fewer cogs...simpler engine...less to remember...consistency be my friend.
Yes.
gary penetito ...and limiters...
This is almost how I swing due to less mobility in my back and knees. Now I can concentrate on what I can do instead of what everyone says I should do. Thank you.
@Shawn F Have to wait until he finishes balancing his checkbook from the US Open and API. Might be a minute.
Nah it doesn't work
Todd, this is a great explanation of how the swing can be simplified by reducing variables; the biomechanics are spot on. I just want to touch on something you don't which is the underlying biomechanics of the conventional swing. The body is great at assessing and creating efficient motions, often influenced by environmental factors. At address, the seated postion, with a hip tilt and dropped arms represents the most balanced and efficient posture for the act of addressing the ball - the CoG sits in the middle of the feet and the only extraneous force is gravity. Now at impact, the body influenced by the centrifugal effect of rotation created from the top of the backswing moves into its most efficient position at the point of impact; manifested as complete linear extension from the shoulder through to the clubface. It's nearly impossible to be at any other position unless the centrifugal force is weakened due to slow swing speed thus being secondary to the downward effect of gravity. Subsequently the one plane swing requires an 'inefficient' address, and I use that word loosely because what you've described is the flaw in prevailing logic that doesn't account for address being a precursor to impact, but often looks at address in isolation. So the one plane swing will always feel unnatural at address, but as you correctly point out, the reduction in variables results in huge efficiency upside through to impact, and point of impact is the outcome, not address.
Great point. Love your explanation. I guess in my simple mind another way to explain this would be to consider a sprinter. The most relaxed position at the starting line might be to simply stand at the line and then start sprinting however, the task is to sprint quickly from the start. To do so requires the starting position of the sprinter where he is leaned forward with legs bent against the starting blocks. The important thing to note is the task - which is to run quickly and in golf it is to move the club quickly and achieve impact correctly and consistently. . Thanks for the comment.
@@ToddGravesGolf That's a great comparison! Thank you for your video - I suspect off the back of Bryson's win this will become increasingly popular and hopefully find its way into more schools of teaching.
You are a very good teacher, because you keep things very simple and clear. Your video is very helpful. Been playing golf for over 40 years. Enjoyed your explanations! Thanks 🙏🏼
With Bryson’s recent videos, it backs up these tips and it’s incredible what it can do for your consistency, so far for me at least.
I went to this swing two years ago and although I only generate 95 mph clubhead speed I hit 9/10 fairways and with roll get 250ish yards. I also cut my driver down to 43 inches.... golf is so much funnier now.
17 handicap
Great to hear.
17 handicap?? What were you before ?
better your put and chip u done bro !!
Hey Tod
I've been practicing this motion for around a month now , and have found it to a be much better result .
Thanks mate 😊 Australia , also I am 64 years of age !!
Nice Video, Makes perfect sense. My son in law has perfected the swing. 38 yrs old and I am a work in progress 67 yrs old. But when I keep the swing on the one plane I hit it dead straight every time. Works for me. Thank You.
I am notorious for switching continuously among swing models (e.g. Paul Wilson, S&T, Malaska, Larry Rinker, Hardy 2-plane). I like the idea of this swing, the tight model and the simplification; in fact, I like it so much that I have now stuck with it for a month, which is about three weeks longer than I have stuck with any other swing. That said, I still can't hit my irons for s**t. Fats, tops, thins, forget it. Yet I persist, for some reason. My feeling is that if I just work hard enough at trying to hit the positions I'll get somewhere. Maybe not, but Todd's SPS is a more structured approach than any other I've run across. BTW, I personally think BDC's swing has become a mix of single-plane, S&T (centered over the ball) and even Paul Wilson (hip/body driven), and I CERTAINLY don't think that other approaches "have it wrong". They certainly can, and do, work. But if you like a highly structured approach that limits what you can do wrong then you should at least explore this model. Just my $.02.
Excellent video instruction. I appreciate your style of teaching; you have a great skill making a complex topic simple to learn and implement. I switched to a single plan swing and have improved my consistency, I have eliminated the right side of the fairway in my misses. It’s great to know when I show up at the course I will play better golf which will result in lower scores.
Thanks. Yes, every day you show up you know you are going to play well. Great feeling.
I have been doing this for months now and never seen a video on this til now...I recently was trying to help 2 friends repeat my process and this video brings the words and science to it! Thank you!
Glad I could help
Thanks for the video. I’ve been a softball player for 25 years and just started playing golf on and off for last 5 years. I love the video and will start trying this way. Thanks
my twelve year old daughter and I followed this golf swing today. remarkable results. we are going to practice more.
The best content online anywhere! It’s true a pure swing with these components results in straight flight with lots of power
I’ve been flying balls 300-320 getting 320- 360 with roll depending on wind and course layouts because I can swing so freely with the space allowed by the set up
At 70 years old, I still have the passion to play, but after a range session my body feels like I’ve been in a car wreck. Decided to learn this swing, and now not only hitting it square but am actually able to play a round after the range. Huge difference moving forward
I get this video is 3 years old, but even watching his swing back then (as seen in this video at 9:00) Bryson is straightening his left leg before impact. If you watch any of Bryson's own videos you can see that he specifically states that the left leg straightens or "posts" before impact and that he pushes up and off the left leg towards ~11 o'clock.. Moreover, he states that being tall and pulling the handle upwards through impact increases the force on the handle and the speed of the clubhead, and that this motion helps with making an upward angle of attack that allows one to hit up with the driver.
Thank you so much for this video. The instruction in the lower body, really makes a lot of sense to me. This is very helpful.
The guy who made that comment about the swing looking weird combs his hair after every shot.
I have literally changed my swing in a few days.i have never bombed my driver as far and straight.amazing.
Still working on ball position with shorter irons. Thank you so much.
I am a 38 year old with an index of 5.6. I have slowly been loosing distance. I went out to the range after watching this & wow! At first it felt awkward but the ball went & it felt very simple & compact. I was curious to see if I could take it out on the course. I hit the ball further then I ever have both off the tee & with all my irons, my wedges were the same distance as normal. I topped one but that was from my poor spine angle. I am very intrigued about this golf swing & live in Florida. I would love to come & get a few lessons about the one plane swing. Thanks for the information
I play ladies nine holers at a club. This has helped me hit straighter and longer.
I only just discovered this video now, my last few round I've been experimenting with this setup as i wasn't happy with my ball striking especially with my irons and fairway woods, i believe it's already improved my game. This is a great video explaining how it works.
A lot of golfers i know hate this setup and have never tried it lol
Many don’t understand because they’re conditioned to see the conventional swing. But when you see and understand the simplicity of the single plane swing it just makes sense.
If DeChambeau's swing is so good, why does he play so slowly?
I have watched him play the last 3 weeks I have never seen him take over a minute to hit his ball??? Do you have evidence he is playing slowly? share your evidence or proof, perception does not count
Thank you Mr. Mo Norman. The greatest striker of the Golf Ball and it’s great to see he is being recognized now for his efforts!
Thanks.
I used to do this and was consistently hitting straight and far but after not playing for a while i forgot how to. Now this video has reminded me
As soon as I seen Bryson come back after COVID break .. I thought MOE NORMAN!!... its amazing seeing how Bryson has no big misses ... it’s so controlled !! Moe was right .. love it !
My cap was 3 and now up to 6 and rising .. I’m struggling so much with consistency and seriously frustrated with golf ... I think I need to pursue this swing during the winter ! Thanks for the guide !
This makes a lot of sense Todd ... I’m a single digit handicap but get too quick and hook the ball at times (cause I play a draw). Would just love to hit it straight. Going to try at the range. Two questions though; 1. I get the head and body angled away for the driver but what about irons? Shouldn’t you be more forward to hit down on the ball? 2. What do you do on bunker shots and short shots from 100 yards in?
Upper body tilt is same for all clubs but stance width changes as the clubs get shorter (stance narrows). Narrow stance for shorter shots. I will do a video on bunker shots soon.
Thanks to Todd & Bryson for keeping the Moe Norman ’Single Plane Swing’ alive on tour, and through the excellent teaching methods at GGA.
Hi Todd. Are you planning any on-course vlogs in 2021/22? I enjoy these sessions because you're taking an effective swing onto the GC and you're playing a full range of shots, whilst discussing course management. Well done! I look forward to watching, learning and practicing the SPS model ⛳️🏌️♂️🇦🇺👍
Yes. I have been busy building a new teaching academy this year (performance center) but I am getting some free time this fall so I get back on the course.
@@ToddGravesGolf Glad to hear that you're expanding with a new teaching academy. I agree, you need to get out and play when time permits. Here's hoping the weather this Fall will be favourable for golf. Stay healthy and Covid safe.
Regards, Gary 🏌️♂️🇦🇺👍
Been playing golf my whole life. These ideas make sense. Tried some swings in my front yard and am going to take it to the range and course. Excited!
I'm curious to see how it translates to someone who's been playing for a long time! Let us know how it goes. May need to fix my broken swing 🤣
Great video and analysis! I coached high school kickers at one time. I taught eliminating variables by as few steps as possible.
Good stuff!
Bingo! Spot on! BDC has widen his stance for more stability - he cannot swing that hard at that speed with the earlier narrow stance. I tried out your swing last Saturday on the round (just the driver) and it is unbelievably stable AND POWERFUL. By the 18th I hit the driver and the sound of the driver was like NOTHING I heard. Also adopting the wide stance really just stabilizes the whole swing and critically, the trail foot grounded stopped the up/down craziness. I AM A BELIEVER!
Nice.
@@ToddGravesGolf in the video you mentions BDC has straight arms and legs. Can you clarify how you define straight? It looks like BDC has a slightly bent leg (when viewed from behind) but on this video, he is videoed front on and you marked his leg as straight. Can you clear this up if the leg is actually bent slightly or must it be "locked" in straight??
Lots of good points. Bryson widened his stance as a result of working with Kyle Berkshire the long drive champ who advised him to make a lateral shift into his right side. Narrow stance encourages twisting while wider stance encourage more of a lateral shift.
Todd’s point regarding left arm controlling the club face is spot on. Cal Peete led the tour in fairways and greens for 8 yrs. He’d a a broken left arm and could not straighten it or change the radius. That was gold.
Excellent explanation of single plane swing best I’ve watched by far
This is the only video that actually explains and shows the 'Stack and Tilt' and Single Plane swing.
Thank-you Todd. That was the best breakdown I’ve ever seen.
Living in Oregon I have been a typical four or five game a year fair weather golfer. I’ve only broke 100 once. I actually started doing this by accident a couple weeks ago. The result was that I had my best game of 88. Now I’m watching this afterwards saying to myself, “ yeah that’s what I’m doing and it’s helping so much“. I like it.
Great.
Thanks Todd, may people appreciate your insight and legacy.
Invaluable video.
You've revolutionised my game! After uncountable hours searching TH-cam for a swing that works, I finally found your single plane swing!!
I've put it in practice, at the driving range, and for first time in my life, I've crushed every single ball. Even my miss-hits were straight as an arrow!
I even crushed my 3 iron (a club that had been completely abandoned in the past!)
I can't wait to see your brother in action, telling us about the short game.
I love this swing! And guess what!... no back pain the day after! Great job!
Glad you found the channel. Keep it up!
Hey Todd,
In 4:06 there’s a missing picture in the video.. just sayin. Anyway thanks again for the great content. I can not understand why the whole world is struggling with that crap swing. Solution is right here... I started last year in April with golf and my handicap is now 18.2. and the only reason why I am not lower is that they reached me that bs in the beginning. By the end of last year I discovered MOE Norman. And I immediately knew that he was right. And fortunately you almost crawled into his body to understand what he’s doing. Thank u Todd. I hope U understand how big this can get. You can really change the golf world. And you should!! With me you have definitely a sidekick in Germany. I discuss the MOE Norman swing with every teacher and the give me all kinds of excuses but at the end they all agree!! And one last thing... 🤪 i think, if Bryson would use normal clubs instead of the one length clubs, he would hit it even further!!!!! You should teach him!!! 🙃 all the best and thanks
Darn! Didn't catch that edit at 4:06. shoot! Thanks for letting me know.
Todd Graves by the way... what do you think about your own custom intro music? Since I am a producer I could write something.. let me know
Pure swing. I will practice it as I already was moving to a more simplified and repeatable swing. Thanks for the video.
This was a great summary, one of your best sessions. thank you very much.
Great Lesson Right here! ~ 5 Time world long drive finalist.
Listen close.
I wish I could work with this guy. I would come out of retirement to just prove how well this works and win a title just for MOE.
I feel like a kid on Christmas! I’ve been trying to fix my slice for a while now. Tried the tips from this video today and all my drives were consistently going straight! Thank you for the help
Great feeling to finally have a solution! That's great!
Thanks Todd for breaking the reins of motion down and going over exactly what the lower and upper torso is in range of motion and while makes a lot of sense been hitting balls in the backyard and can’t wait to get back out playing again with the new mole Norman swing thank you Todd graves Danny again in Toms River New Jersey
THIS CHANGED EVERYTHING! Thank you SO much Todd! Never before have I improved so drastically in such a short time.
That was my experience as well. I'm happy for you. Thanks for sharing.

How does this translate to irons
Well I was able to spend some time at the range and played a tight 18 hole course after working on the swing. What a difference on my drives! Way more consistent and straight. I'm calling it "Mo Chambeau" 😊
Good idea.
It's cool to see this video, I learned this on my own as a kid just practicing because it was the only way I could keep a consistent ball strike. It's nice to see it in more detail, but when I first did something similar to this swing, I was just thinking extend the arms out far and tight to help eliminate club face moving in and out or up and down. It does look a bit goofy and maybe not as cool as Tiger's swing but to me who cares when it gives you a confident, lower scoring golf game.
One downside in my opinion is finesse shots around the green can be a little weird feeling after you swing like this on all other shots.
Struggled with driver for years - using this set up added 25+ yards and consistency to by driver shots (still cant hit a draw).
Thank you for the excellent video. I have always been taught to have way too many variables. I'm going to try this right now.
Glad it was helpful!

Yeah I think I’m gonna go with his method
Thank you so much, this video makes so much sense. Just recently i started hitting my driver really solid and pretty conisistent as well. I was so proud of how i was bombing my drives high and super long. Now the main thing i did was slightly weaken my grip and started to perform a waggle before every swing. But just as fast as i had it, i lost it, but only on the course. I could still go to the range and hit good drives. But i kept on looking for hints because the miss i started to hit was a big snap hook. Then id go on the range and never hit a hook the whole time. I was so confused. What am i doing wrong, is it the grip, alignment, swinging too far in? So Id manipulate my body so that way i wouldnt hit it left, and i hit even more left. It made no sense. What i wasnt paying attention to is that i did everything youre saying to do. Except i kept my arms kind of loose. But everytime at the range i had the same setup and same range of motion and planes with the golf club. But i never looked at it from that aspect. To eliminate mistakes but thats what i was doing. I took a full swing at pretty good speeds not thinking anything of it. But i feel like if i implement this i can get that consistency back out on the course instead of just the range. Thanks so much for the help!!!
yes and that swing also helps us guys that have that slite budge above the belt line
good one Todd, I played with Moe years ago, thing of beauty, thanks for keeping his legacy alive, there was no one better than Moe!
One guy!! Moe let beat him from time to time. In Canada. In the book "Feeling of Greatness" Check it out. Plus he hated to putt. OMG so funny. Scoring in the low 60's and poor putter. Two hour rounds. Don't play in front of him.
Great video, I shall try this next time at the range.
The tilt of 15 degrees at setup. Is it from the waist or is it mainly the shoulders with a slightly curved sideways spine and the hips fairly flat? Many thanks for your efforts this method has improved my game a lot.
5:57 explained my mistake. Seems so hard for me to not fall back or straighten the left leg. Going to work hard on that is season!👍🏼
Enjoyed the video, may have covered single size shafts. Main thing would not to use the driver swing and something like a 7 iron.
Thanks, it all makes perfect sense to this engineer
Great video ... Now I need to see one on the grip you use.
Yes. I have been in fascinated by Byyson and as an engineer appreciate what and why he is doing what he is doing. He is also proving it in real tour life. However, I do love Tiger's and Rory's swings but realise that if I was younger and had unlimited practice time then that works to. Now, with age and back issues I am going to adopt the Bryson approach. Keep it simple and eliminate the variables but within the limitation of the mobility I have at the moment.
Well said!
Thanks Todd, my long clubs are much more straight and consistent with single plane but the short ones tend to go left now. It used to be that the short ones were straight and long ones sliced. Any clues? Guessing to strong grip and not keeping side bend for shorter. Feel like I want to tilt towards the Target on the back swing which I used to with the conventional swing. Other than that I bomb the driver and 3 wood down the fairway with confidence now🙏🏻😎. Awesome TH-cam content, kudos.
Probably lead hand grip. That is my first guess. Tilt then grip with lead hand - and see if you cant get the hand in a more neutral position.
Will we see an "Iron Bryson" developed in the near future? The approach to the swing is very logical but revolutionary in my opinion but so was the "Fossbury Flop" back in the day.. At age 60 I don't see myself trying to retool my swing to Bryson's but there are elements I will definitely try to incorporate into my swing. Thanks for the video.
Great video - especially the spine angle part with straight left arm/shaft (and space). I've been able to effectively use Moe's grip, stance, and left bent knee into impact for consistency even without fully straight arms - higher than conventional, but not fully straight either. Bryson does like to straighten his left leg even before impact in his mind (this comes from his own YT video recently). I like the left bent knee at impact, and right heel still down like Moe taught. People should definitely give it a go - can hit many more balls this way because much less stress on the back.
Been playing a long time, used to be decent, took a bunch of time off and when I started playing again, my swing was horrible. Came across your stuff a few weeks ago after shooting another mid-90s round, spraying the driver everywhere. Have always loved Moe's swing. Bought your book, read it cover to cover, followed the drills. Took it to the range, after several buckets, I'm hitting the driver longer and straighter than I think I ever have. I went from my 12* driver back to my 10* and getting much better ball flight and more distance. And can't believe how well I'm hitting my irons (especially long irons) using this swing. I plan on spending a lot of time at the range to dial it in. Golf is finally fun again. Thanks for getting Moe's ideas out of his head and into a book, in a way that we can all understand.
Game isn’t about to the swing, it’s about the golf score. lol no one ask at the end of your round how was your swing, they ask how was your score. If you can hit the ball straight it doesn’t matter what it looks like. Great video I’ll be giving this a try tomorrow!
How did it go?
Absolutely beautiful swing, you gotta love the game to appreciate
This is the future of a consistent golf swing. I've used the text book swing and because I cannot play golf every day I am inconsistent - too many variables in the text book swing. The one swing plane removes the variables - Moe was right.
Yes he was.
Question on ulnar deviated position: how rotated towards the target is the famed Hogan wrist bone? In Hogan it seems to be flexed down and rolled out toward the target to deliver the biggest blow with the back of the left hand. Is that what MO and Bryson are doing too? Also, what's the Ben-Mo connection and what was Hogan's analysis of Mo's swing? Thanks.
I tried out the swing in June, within 2 weeks I was hitting all clubs square and my average score dropped from 42 to 38 for 9 holes. My best was 33. I would like to see some instruction using the swing with irons.
