Ive been having trouble with single plane swing until i watched this video. I was so suprised at how more consistent i was just by changing my feet positions based on what club im using. I had been using a slightly closed stance for a clubs and i averaged 84 since starting the single plane. After this video i shot 78 today.
This was great! Years of struggling to understand these concepts have been solved in a 7 minute clip. My God! I owe Todd Graves a debt of gratitude. I'm invested in the club trainer and the training board. Think I'm going to get the chipping/short-game training board next. Thank you, Todd!
Mr. Graves, thank you for showing videos of Mow Norman and preserving his technique and amazing shots as well as his personality. Very good videos. Just a suggestion, but Mow was too short and simple in his explanations, like we should already know what was obvious to him and your demonstrations are a bit complicated and involve so many things at once. Be nice if a happy medium between both. Might be more effective. The video angles and close ups are great. Thanks, for what you do. I'll be watching
Question. I just purchased one of these from your website store. I use single length/lie irons that are made to a 6 iron length. Am I correct to assume my trail foot position would be the same then for all my irons? Probably around the 6-7 area? Thanks.
I own the footboard, the 6 iron with the grip and a swing trainer. Super tools worth the money and then some. And a Sandy Andy with your grip as well. Not complicated really with practice.once the foot positions are second nature this becomes so easy.
Excellent video Todd highlighting the camera angles from your viewpoint looking at the ball! Great job explaining the “why” behind the different setups with the stance of the golf swing. Keep up the great work!
Thanks that helps tremendously as I was setting up perfectly square and kept hitting my driver left with a draw and sometimes a hook and my short irons right
The golf swing is a precision "machine" and we are just the "operator". As such, every change we make that deviates from the ideal position complicates and depreciates the performance. So nice to have a method to our "madness". Thanks Todd.
The “logic” behind what and why Todd teaches what he does is what drew me to the sps. Every other instructor just doesn’t make rational sense to me. Love everything you do, Todd.
I ordered the Single Plan Alignment Ball Position Trainer. I didn't receive any directions with the Trainer i.e., what are the labeled abbreviations on the Trainer. I also ordered the Grip Trainer 6 Iron. Again no directions. Can someone at Graves Golf please advise. Thank you. Can't wait to try these out. It's been too cold in NJ. ;)

I really enjoy these videos by Todd Graves. With the proper setup, I can just turn back and let my torso fall into the pivot and just land at the forward flexed left knee. The arms, driven by this reliable pivot, just whip back to where they started, resulting in good contact and the ball goes so straight with a reliable distance. Thanks.
Question dealing with club face at setup. Around the 125 mark you say the club is square to feet like… and the feet line is ‘open’ to target line. So my question is when setting up with wedge, and the wedge is usually set up a couple inches behind ball…. Is the club face square to target or feet? You have me ver confused. When setting up driver and the head is many inches behind ball … is it square to target line, open to target line because by the time it reaches the ball it will be square…. Hope someone can help me out?!?
@@ToddGravesGolf thank you for your videos - bought your book last year and my game isn’t perfect but I am slowly getting more consistent and understanding the whys and how’s! You are so detailed with your whys and the science behind it! Amazing doing videos!
Thanks Todd! At which club does the open stance start to transition to a closed stance? 6i? SW, GW, PW open 9,8,7 parallel to target 6, 5, 4, starting to close?
One thing that has just occurred to me is that the days that I have been hitting it really good I think I have been inadvertently stumbling across the optimal swing arc/radius position with my driver. Now that I know to look for it I am very excited that my consistency levels are about to sky rocket !! Thanks. Tim
I’m confused…The inset framed picture appears you address the ball on the heel of the club, but the video shows the club head directly behind the ball. Which is correct?
This clears up the confusion I was having!. It was driving me nuts before! Thank you for posting this. Just wondering then as a "check and balance" is it a good idea to play around with my radius as you have here on the range just to get a better feel for what happens to my arc based on what I do with my stance width/opening and closing of my stance? Many Thanks. Tim

Take your meds. Moe never put the clubface behind the ball he played everything of the hosel of the club then his hip slide compensated
What a video Todd! Good Sheeet!!

I haven't played in 18 years, this intrigues me. So, when you set club next to ball, Club face is open, then square with body tilt?

HI Todd,
You are using a 3 iron but all sets of golf club's start 5 iron??
Thank you!!! explaining the radius with POV cam really helped me understand what is going on.
Thanks that helps tremendously as I was setting up perfectly square and kept hitting my driver left with a draw and sometimes a hook and my short irons right

Yes! Thank you! I was slow figuring this out at range over last months and after this vid it finally clicked! many thanks!
From what I've seen Moe leans to the right much more than this and his feet are quite a bit wider when using the driver compared to the instructor.
Best video so far, I've been looking for this info. Thanks
Holy crap I’ve been lining up my DBP to the little hole lol I will have to change it when I go to the range
Was Moe stance closed to is Target slightly ??
Light bulb went off. U r the man

This was one of the best videos on SPS ball position. The POV really helps with understanding the finer points of the model.
This is a terrible question but needs asked: Why aren't these guys pros or churning out pros?

always square to target. I possibly mis-spoke....sometimes I talk too fast. Club face square to target even if feet are open. Sorry.
