Itâs been said by a prominent instructor of the Single Plane Swing that the reason Moe set the club up so far behind the ball is when he braces into a flexed lead knee he brings that âgapâ back to impact position which Iâve always said isnât true. More had stated numerous times why he did it.
Moe âI started doing it as a kid, one day I just woke up and started putting it there. He couldnât hit the ball in the regular address positionâ at the time of the video/interview.
âIt eliminates a lot of things for me. First things is I canât pick the club up, second thing is is canât CANâT take it outside and third, my right shoulder is already in my turn. Iâm also eliminating 1 foot of the swingâ.
There you have it folks. From the master himself!!!!!!!
It helps to give him a lot of lateral motion, a lot of lead and lag.
Another key component that he has said on numerous occasions is he swings within the fairway not around it. This is true if you watch him in his follow through his clubs and arms are going directly at his target not âaround his bodyâ.
Why this isnât taught I have no idea but when you come see me this is a crucial point I make everyone very aware of. Now true, he doesnât do it with his driver but the one key movement that he doesnât allow himself to do is wrap the club around his shoulders and sit in the classic finish THATS TAUGHT BY EVERY INSTRUCTOR ON THE PLANET. His finish is his clubs and hands coming back to the sky âor directly at his target down the fairwayâ.
If youâre going to teach Moes swing then teach it and stop putting your variables or own thoughts and ideas in it.
