I've tried it copied it and staying with it. Wished I'd known about Moe Norman years ago. After trying so many different techniques, this is by far the easiest to become more consistent with and a better ball striker. Well for me it is anyway

One of the saddest stories of how we in American golf with all their PGA so called humility treated this man for his quirks makes for a great story of what love and encourage as well as negativity can do to hurt or heal.Let this be a lesson to us all.

Wayne is NOT discrediting Moe's swing. He's just saying that the reality is not what Mo thought was happening and players should not try to copy his words but try to copy his actual actions. What's wrong with that? Give Wayne a break.

I would suggest that you check out Canadian golf tour... and see what kind of "resume" Moe Norman had. He shot 59 three times. Won 55 canadian tour events. Had 33 course records, and 17 holes in one. Sam Snead said he was the world's greatest striker of the ball.

He was a great player won over 80 Tournaments shot 59 three times had 17 holes in one so I think there is something very good about this mans golf swing

Good vid Wayne but it did take me back a bit at approx 9:42 min in when you said “Moe couldn’t really take what He had out and develop a great resume as a player”  Here are some stats below I would say on the contrary make up a pretty exceptional resume!
Moe Norman was a Canadian legend and a man revered by golf professionals all over the world as one of the greatest ball-strikers in the history of golf, and certainly one of the most eccentric and colorful characters in the annals of sport. Moe Norman’s single-plane golf swing was called weird, unorthodox, different, but it was highly efficient, amazingly exact, and freakishly accurate.
The numbers tell the tale:
*17 holes in one
*Three scores of 59
*Four scores of 61
*More than 30-course records during his career!
Moe Norman dominated Canadian golf through the mid 20th century. Among his many victories are two Canadian Amateurs, two CPGA Championships, and five CPGA Senior Championships along with multiple victories in the Ontario, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan Opens.

“Only two players have ever truly owned their swings – Moe Norman and Ben Hogan. I want to own mine.” – Tiger Woods

Hi Wayne! Thanks for an interesting analysis. Still, it’s wrong to call anything about this swing conventional. The mere fact that he eliminates many of the possible sources of error through the single-plane technique and is able to return to square better and more consistently than anyone speaks volumes. His set-up is miles from the two-plane set-up. His rotation with a bent left knee from the downswing and through the ball is far from conventional. It would be really cool to see if his flat-spot is longer than most, but it is definitely more consistent thanks to his unique technique. It would be extremely interesting to have you analyze his disciple Todd Graves, who I find to be an excellent teacher and communicator.

Regardless of swing speed, launch angle, club face,/swing path, etc, I guess the bottom line is that it doesn't matter what's happening before, or after contact.  It's whether you're getting the ball to it's intended target.  If that is repeatable, like Moe Norman's swing, then you can't really dispute the method, or results.  I appreciate Wayne's analysis.

Moe's single plane swing is or looks similar to the robotic arm used to test golf equipment.. it too, I believe is a single plane

Todd mentioned in one of his many video's that there are many jigsaw puzzles to Moe's swing
When I first tried Moe's swing out I got mixed results and ended up going back to my old swing! Then one night I sat down at my laptop and watched Moe hitting ball after ball as he spoke to an interviewer, then Moe threw a coin down and explained to the interviewer that he takes the club back towards that coin (stretch) That is when the coin dropped in my head as I was lifting the club a bit early on my back swing, another part of the puzzle is that Moe does not let his right elbow come away from his torso much so he can swing through the ball with his body and not just his hands and arms! I hope these tips help you guy's in getting your swing back on plane! RIP Moe -The world misses you!!!!

I think your swing analysis is very good. I've been a P.G.A. Member for 28 years and support what you have done. Moe proved that there is more than one way to get it done.

i try Moe swing-and i founded amazing how consistent i hit the ball.

I am confident that Moe was referring to being longer, down the target line, than anyone else "after impact!" In this 1990's video, he is both old and obese; in the 'young moe norman' video by Greg Lavern (LeftofMoe on YT), Moe was much thinner/more flexible, so he swung under himself much more. He never used a 'conventional' golf setup, so he never had the 'modern-day' injuries, either. But he stood 7-hrs on the tee, in a 1950's Toronto exhibition and hit 1,540 drives and all, without exception, landed in a 30-yard circle at 225-255 yards distant! 17- holes-in-one, 9-double eagles, 33 course records, 55 tour victories --- not bad for a guy who never finished high school. He was 'brow beaten' off the PGA Tour, in New Orleans in 1959; rumors are that it was Fuzzy Zoeller & Friends, because of Moe's course antics, broken/missing teeth and mis-matched clothes. The same kind of 'arrogant narrow-mindedness' that Ernest Jones experienced when he tried to convince PGA President Horton of his simple 'tool' approach to the swing --- Horton said it was too simple/easy to learn and  his teaching pros wouldn't give enough lessons! Ironically, they were only averaging 600/year, while Ernest Jones was averaging 3,000/year, indoors, on the 7th floor of the A.C Spaulding building in New York...

I found that having my club straight up and down and right knee facing the target that it really straightens out my swing. However I can never be as good as Moe. He was the man.

Even though Moe's feet are aimed off to the right, it does look as though his club face (at address) is aiming down the same line that the ball travels on when he hits his shot. This would suggest that he is not actually pulling the shot; the ball is still traveling in the direction that the club face is pointing at address.

Always great to meet an instructor who can squeeze a couple minutes of information into a half hour (this is what happens when people get paid by the hour).

Moe had lots of success, actually, and it wasn't his ball striking that kept him from being a well-followed phenomenon.

Your "analysis" has one fatal flaw: we will never know if the "front view" is exactly 90 degrees to the target line (and it sure doesn't look like it to me). Without precise angles, we can't properly assess ball position.

I think what Moe meant was that he kept his club face square to the target line longer than anybody else.  It's impossible to swing the club "down" the target line.  The circle of the swing will "touch" the target line at impact and come back to the inside due to the angle of attack.  Moe's set up and swing allowed him to keep that club head square to his target at the bottom of his swing...

Everyone knows that Moe was a savant when it came to golf and probably his life in general. Remember the key term was the "feeling" of greatness. He even said it many times. He never looked at video of his swing. He just walked straight down the fairway to go to his next shot. Don't we all wish we could do that!

Thank you! This is a great illustration of “feel vs. real”.
