    First time I saw Moe , he drove into a driving range where i was hitting balls -clearly knew the owner who was about to close - the two of them chatted as Moe hit driver off packed dirt lies in front of the tees - range balls - no tee and a club he grabbed out of a barrel. 20 in a row pure as the driven snow - never stopped talking the whole time - amazing man.

    I recently adopted Moe's left foot movement, it really has a stabilizing effect on my swing, I strike ball more accurately. Yesterday despite my left knee injury, with Moe's footwork, I managed to walk the 18 holes, and shot a nice 82. I didn't has presssure on aching knee as the move doesn't require a knee twist. I feel like I can swing like this well into my 80's without a knee replacement. And that's a master move, I recommend it.

    Loved Mo. He taught me how I can play with the baseball grip since I have small wrists and never could get comfortable using interlocked grip. Best score was 67 and no bogeys with one eagle. Moe will always have a place in my heart and the love of golf he gave me. You get out of golf what you put in it. It is not forgiving.

    Bless his heart - even though it failed him in the end. Moe was remarkable - his confidences as a golfer was remarkable, as a person off the course he felt life was imposed upon him - that's my best guess He mentioned one time how he would, as a pre-teen caddie in Canada, sleep in the first hole bunker and be ready to "catch the first loop at sunrise." Moe Norman was incredible … in so many ways.

So many turned their back on this lonely man who put many pro golfers in the shade! I feel we were robbed in not viewing Moe and his swing when he was in his prime!

    I'm with Moe, I tried focusing on hip turn for a long time, dragged me off the ball and and took my focus away from what shoulders arms and hands were doing. Dragging straight down from the top of the back swing like Fred Couples changed everything for me, all my distances were corrected, 170 for 7 iron etc, and it was effortless

I use this or rather think about it in the downswing, and I honestly can say it has improved my performance. In as much as, it stops me throwing the club out like a fishing rod.

    Feel vs Real is very easy to mock when you see someone else but do it yourself and then film it and you won't understand your body anymore! I considered myself to be quite in tune with my body and my feel was that I was doing something so incredibly awkward and my hands were straight above my head when literally they were around my waist!!
    Moe Norman was a professional golf player - one of the 0.1% of all golfers. He hit 90% fairways during his career! That is insane and most likely by all eye witness and professional accounts he hit 9% in the first cut and 1% was a "bad" shot.
    He once hit a ball over a bridge on purpose in order to carry the water his ball otherwise would have gone in... Let that sink in for a moment. This was not a hacker with tall tales, this was a pro on the circuit with media coverage and people around him. Despite the mockery he got for obviously being a bit "different" - his ability spoke for itself, when Tiger Woods and Nick Faldo called him the best ball striker they've ever seen, why would they lie? They have no reason to stroke his ego!
    The first time I watched him I was also like, this is an obvious joke, but when you read the stats and see the facts, it becomes even worse but then you get over your cognitive dissonance and see that if it wasn't for him being so abused because of how different he was especially in a very alpha male dominant era previously in the PGA, he would have been regarded as one of the best ever to play the game and surprising that people who actually did see him play and followed him including major golf stars, do hold him in that regard!

    Great ball striker and mad respect for Moe, but it's always interesting to hear guys describe what the feel like they are doing vs what they are actually doing.

    Ive started swinging my irons like Moe with emphasis on shoulder movement and 3ft before and after the ball as my crucial area of straightness and connection . and Im hitting them beautiful and straight . When he says no hip movement he doesnt mean none at all he means none of this exagerated before connection and after connection rotation you cant take him literally you just have to watch and understand he played 100% feel . no fancy lessons just feel.

    I remember working on the golf course and seeing Moe and Nick "the wedge" all the time. Quite the pairing that is for sure. Moe was always playing three balls and it was bizarre how accurate he was with every club. A chatter box that did not make much sense most of the time and to say he did not like talking to strangers is an understatement. In this day of modern treatment for problems with which he suffered he might have been able to make it on the tour.

    With all his great ball striking what was even more remarkable is his ability to transfer his weight to his left side. Even in his later years he had enough rotation in his left hip to allow his left foot to stay planted as he rotated to his finish. Flexibility in the body pivot is one of the keys to a consistent repeatable swing.

    230, Moe hit it 250 off the bridge, one bounce & came to rest total of 325 yards with a persimmon wood driver. Moe would play you for your house, cars, wife, bank account, 9 holes in the dark 1 ball. He'd be in your bed before the sun came up & you would still be looking for your first tee shot. He would hit a flagstick 150 yards away 20 to 30 times in a row & let you choose the club. Moe once hit 1,500+ balls in a 7 hour time span, all of them landing inside a 20 yard radius.

      So what moe had accomplished in his career was truly amazing, living a life of being laughed at and ridiculed.
      I'm not hating on Ben Hogan or the other great golfer's who have played this beautiful game and helped get it into what we have today, but what if they were dealt the same hand as moe, would Jack Nicklaus have won 18 majors ?, would we have seen Arnie army ?, or would Ben Hogan be know as the man with the greatest swing but was an odd ball because he was different and not accepted?.

He was considered one of Europe's best ball strikers by swinging the club between his legs to keep the ball low.

    His left hand and back of the forearm just go straight through .Again no rotation .
    It's his grip and set up that change everything.

    Vertical drop = right elbow dropping down to the right hip
    Horizontal tug = pulling the butt end of the club AT and THROUGH the ball to a high finish.

    • @davidstevens3934
      @davidstevens3934 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think this sort of misses the point of what he's saying. You can drop your right elbow but get the club too vertical and lose all timing, lag and accuracy (of the ball on the right spot on the club face).
      I know it because i've lived it - shooting many, many, many soul destroying, club breaking rounds.
      The important thing for me is left forearm/wrist rotation. Keep them rotated clockwise during the drop - don't unwind them. This keeps the club behind you (as Moe mentions) and makes it very difficult to miss the ball with the middle of the club face.
      I have shot low rounds before but never really knew why. Then had terrible rounds shortly after. I shot 108 at a reasonably tough course 1 week. The following week I had worked out the above and shot 73. I was 1 under par with 1 to play but choked on the last (par 72) 😂
      Hope this helps the dedicated golfers that have discovered Moe Norman.

      You never pull the handle to the BALL. This is a death move that will make the club vertical. You throw the handle to your TARGET down the line. This will flatten your downswing club plane automatically and maintain the clubs position behind the hands. Throwing anything at the ball, even the clubhead, is a disaster.

    Watching Moe has intrigued me. When watching the videos reminded me of a similarity with playing a straight ball in cricket. Most good cricket players are quite good golfers. A cricket bat has a 'square' face and for a player to hit a straight drive directly down the wicket is similar to golf. Part of the cricket players technique is to deliberately hook or slice balls and this requires controlled skilled wrist movement when needed.. Hockey players also tend to be good golfers. Again a square faced stick. Given a baseball bat is not 'square' do players take to golf as readily?

He says he no or very little hip movement, however I see a good bit of hip movement considering the smoothness of his swing.
