Best ball-striker ever? 3 consistency keys from Moe Norman's legendary golf swing

Most golfers fight the club instead of letting physics do the work. The club is built to swing in a circle and deliver speed. Your job is to get your body into the geometry that allows that to happen naturally. Start by tilting the body so the trail arm can work in a straight line. From that tilt, the trail arm creates an angle, then returns to straight at impact. The back of the lead hand matches the target. The trail hand drives through like hammering a nail. When your geometry matches the phy

Most golfers stand way too close to the ball. When your arms hang straight down, you’re forced to lift, jam, and fight for space at impact. That’s why your back and lead leg feel stressed. -Back up. -Put your arms and the shaft on one clean line. -Create real space between you and the ball. That single-plane setup lets you swing through impact instead of fighting for it. For the full blueprint behind Moe Norman’s geometry, get the book at theintelligentgolfswing.com. | Moe Norman

Moe Norman trusted his body’s natural wisdom. He didn’t fight it, force it, or overthink it. He figured out that the golf swing isn’t something you invent. It’s something you uncover. Your body already knows how to move. The single plane swing just works with that design — not against it. Moe simply put himself in a position where the club could move naturally, on the same plane it was designed to move on. That’s why he could return the club to impact perfectly… every single time.
