I took a 3 day school in April 2021 and Brock was one of the instructors. He really helped me with hip/torso/shoulder turn (i.e. I didn't have any...all arms and hands which was very wrong). I also got to see him hit a few balls and his single plane swing is amazing and he knocks the poop out of the ball. I can attest for sure that he and Todd and the GG program are no jive. I have no connection with them aside from lessons and have never been asked to give a "testimonial" or anything, but they are the real deal and, if you dutifully do what they tell you to correctly and put the work in, you will make progress.
I changed over 4 weeks during first covid lockdown in NZ. Only hit plastic balls in Garden. First 2 games back 71 70 off a 5 Now off between 1 and +3. Back no longer an issue. Can now practice pain free. Thanks Todd. You have no idea how you have improved my quality of life.
Sensational content Todd. Following your vid’s since mid summer when I made a mid week switch to single plane swing - saved many season. I suffered for two decades with two separated ribs, wrist tendinitis and the odd bout of sciatica. I now play a 9 hole walkable course but was shooting +7 to +10 with my old swing. Was about to quit due to injuries when I searched for a different swing… and found your vids! Within a week I knew I could finish the season with a one plane swing - with far less pain - and far better results. It’s now 1° C temps here so the season may be officially over til April, but - last week I played 5 times with a bag of 7 clubs - and averaged +2 to +3 for the week. Have never hit the ball better - even when I played off a 5 hdcp before the rib injury… it now feels like “I’m baaaack!” Can’t wait until next season. Again, Thanks for great videos, Todd!
100% agree getting help from someone that knows the swing is huge help. I went through Graves Videos and bought Graves training aids...I struggled because I just could not understand non-rotational trail hand...I was lucky to find an old "Natural Golf" instructor in my area I called and ask if he could just give me a lesson/set me up...It was great he did know the Graves method (even had some Graves training aids on range) He found about 2 minutes worth of fixes on my single plane swing as I was a lot closer then I thought, but what a difference a tweak or two can make...I went back to him about 6 months later and he took me out to play as the full swing was still there and showed me a bunch of chip, pitch and putting ideas for the single plane method...
Played golf today.. Inadvertently played half the game ( only 9 holes), in a 2 plane swing. When I discovered my my problem, I straightened out my wrists and my ball flight was longer, but tended to fade. Still have to get my hip turn better coordinated. I just now glanced at the video screen, and you are giving a demonstration on my weakness in my hip turn. I need more range practice.
Great video showing someone else with the one plane swing. I have to admit I seen your videos so many times and wasn’t sold on the one plane swing, understood every thing about what your taught. A year later I’ve come back to look at your videos again and I really get it now, how all this works and tried it yesterday for two hours in my back yard. How easy is this, could not believe how effortless my swing is. Keeping all the angles right when you swing took me a while, I get it !!! Now I need to take is new swing to the Driving Range. Thank you.
One of the best Single Plane videos I have seen. Very Helpful for getting the fundamentals of the SP swing correct and full of sound adivice. Thank You.
Great video I’ve been practicing the one swing plan now for 1 year with out video footage will be very interesting your feed back on my swing. I’m very happy with my awing and very comfortable in it will send in a video as soon as I can
"Drop the club on the ground and lower your hands..." Despite hearing it explained many times, seeing that demonstration of the shoulders at address really opened my eyes to how and why the single plane alignment works. Thanks.
I am 3 weeks away from my 76th birthday. On a lark, I put a jumbo grip on my driver and started the single plane swing. In 5 days I have picked up 30 to 35 yards on my drives. That translates into a 3 club drop on my 2nd shots into a par 4 hole. Can hardly wait for my next tee time!!
Love this, really good to see his thought process. This video helped me understand grip and alignment of the Moe swing. Great job, looking forward to future content with the your new student/coach. I am looking at becoming a Graves teacher and this is showing me it is possible, my swing still looks more like his pre-swing single plane swing than his new swing, but I have some ideas to work on.
Thanks for another great video. For those transitioning to single plane, what do you most commonly see for those developing a bit of a hook (I'm struggling a bit with this adjustment)
Have you ever taught someone that comes from the stack and tilt method I am going to switch to single plane. My biggest issue that I dealt with and couldn’t fix was severe hook, casting My instructor Graham Gunn called it violence at the ball😀 My game was really good for a long time but have considered quitting certainly play a lot less
How does someone living in New Zealand speak or communicate with a trainer. I am so impressed with the Single Plane Swing and would dearly love to talk to a real person. Many thanks Eric
Interesting that the rear foot stays down while completing the full swing never came up. To me this causes lower back stress, at sone point I thought it should have come off
There’s no stress on the back because stress on the back comes from compression and shear. If you don’t straighten the lead leg, you don’t get compression. Therefore, you don’t get shear. Also, the weight on the trail foot is minimal. Most of the weight is on the lead leg therefore no stress back.
I am 76 years old....I have always been fit....after 6 months of daily practice and watching a lot of Todds videos I'm very close to breaking 80....and having fun after hitting 80% of my fairways.
Todd, I wish you would’ve just let Brock talk. You turn it into a lesson plan for things you’ve already taught rather than allowing us to hear his odyssey / conversion which we are all on.
100% NOT a 1 plane swing. He is clearly steeper in transition. Moe’s swing was NOT a single plane swing either. Natural golf will guarantee one thing; you’ll hit it 30 yards shorter. Zero hip rotation and feet anchored into the ground through impact and into the follow through… I will challenge anyone on this fact. I knew Moe in the 80’s and watched the fad of the Natural Golf in the 90’s. Ridiculous.
First of all this is a single plane swing not a one plane swing. No hip rotation? Where do you get this information? Moe clearly has hip rotation? Hit ball shorter? You are incorrect about this assumption. Where is your evidence of your claims.?

Another great video Todd! Brock made you look good with how fast he switched to the SPS. Brock is a nice addition to your team.
Brock swing is awesome. He's perfected the move
"Drop the club on the ground and lower your hands..." Despite hearing it explained many times, seeing that demonstration of the shoulders at address really opened my eyes to how and why the single plane alignment works. Thanks.
I get teased that the SPS is a old man swing, Brock proves that no it a swing for all golfers and fundamentals never get old!!!

love it.
Love these. Also really dig those Graves Golf/Callaway pullovers, how about making some of those available in the store.
That one that Todd is wearing was available to Gold Members only. 😃🤷🏻♂️
Great video! Really enjoying seeing the single plane swing from others who have developed the skills.
This will speed my process with these points , I have the swing trainer so I can go to 0 to 6 process Thanks for this video.
I met Brock in FL during one GGA school. Sharp young man and very professional.
And? What about the golf aspect
@@irbose9895 the video speaks for itself.
@@danielquinones8506 how so

Hi Todd. Can you explain why Brock and other Moe Norman Single Plane Swing golfers, have the clubhead further behind the ball at address?
Hi,
Great video. Does the young guy play with normal lie clubs? Normal grips?
Thank you in advance.
Anders from Sweden 😃
BROCK!!! He's a great coach 💪
Hi Todd
How can i get your training aids in South Africa. I want the alignment board and the practice golf club
Thanks for another great video. For those transitioning to single plane, what do you most commonly see for those developing a bit of a hook (I'm struggling a bit with this adjustment)
Another good video!!!
Todd I'm in Sydney Australia and can't find a golf pro that teaches the single plain swing do you know of any here.
Have you ever taught someone that comes from the stack and tilt method
I am going to switch to single plane.
My biggest issue that I dealt with and couldn’t fix was severe hook, casting
My instructor Graham Gunn called it violence at the ball😀
My game was really good for a long time but have considered quitting certainly play a lot less
Yes, I have. When you switch, let me know if you need some direct help. Toddg@gravesgolf.com.
Love your videos. Question; what is the reason for placing the club well behind the ball at address?
check this video out. th-cam.com/video/4Pw-X2a6S3s/w-d-xo.html
I do the vertical swing
I just bought The Single Plane Golf Swing Book.
great. let me know how it goes.
How does someone living in New Zealand speak or communicate with a trainer. I am so impressed with the Single Plane Swing and would dearly love to talk to a real person. Many thanks Eric
Email me at Toddg@gravesgolf.com
What would the general grip pressure (tightness) of the fingers be around the club? 50%,60% 100%?????
Which hand?
Excellent
What happened to Trent White? I thought he was your Gold Membership Director? He was sensational in your Gold Program, really enjoyed his teachings
Trent is our master instructor at our Phoenix location
Interesting that the rear foot stays down while completing the full swing never came up.
To me this causes lower back stress, at sone point I thought it should have come off
There’s no stress on the back because stress on the back comes from compression and shear. If you don’t straighten the lead leg, you don’t get compression. Therefore, you don’t get shear. Also, the weight on the trail foot is minimal. Most of the weight is on the lead leg therefore no stress back.
Brock really attacks with his move at the ball.
Very like Moe.
yes he does.
Keeping the nose over the trail knee at impact makes all the difference.
Just goes to show that if you’re young and an athlete you can learn any thing easier. 🤬 Great swing!
I am 76 years old....I have always been fit....after 6 months of daily practice and watching a lot of Todds videos I'm very close to breaking 80....and having fun after hitting 80% of my fairways.
Age isn’t that important..
Its too bad you dont have classes in MD. I can get to the position but the actual swing and leg work gets me in trouble.
Join the coaching program.
Some people can't just find a Pro.or couching program.
what do you mean?
I can’t do that swing that’s why I do vertical swing
only one issue here in the eastern side of the UK no one will teach this !
We have an online academy which is great.
Todd, I wish you would’ve just let Brock talk. You turn it into a lesson plan for things you’ve already taught rather than allowing us to hear his odyssey / conversion which we are all on.
This is the first video of a series. Thanks for complaining.
