Hello Lag from Greg Lavern
Sorry for not replying for a while as i had some radio and Televison interviews to deal with and have been hitting the
ball very pure in seclusion all by my lonesome. I wish you well and i will be intouch with you.
I will gladly respond to this article and provide the actual learned from the master rather then the assumed of these promoters of Moe’s golf swing who’s observations are totally wrong.
The Real Moe Norman started with the golf club 14’’ behind the golf ball as his starting point that allowed the clubhead to get very deep and create great width. First of all on the backswing the swing starts from the left instep rolling inward while the left arm extends back along the chest. When the transition takes place as i revealed in The Real Moe Norman book the vertical drop if you will is performed properly when the left palm goes to the right heel. Moe wanted the clubhead to lag behind him feeling the weight of the club head and wanted to know where it always was in the backswing.
The rotation of the hips and shoulders on the backswing put The Real Moe Norman into position to make an effective vertical drop. This allowed him to drop the club on a entirely different plane to become lower through the hitting area. Of course Moe wanted the club behind him to continue with the horizontal tug. Who ever wrote this article does not have a clue what Moe did with such foolish comments.
The left wrist remaind bowed through impact and up the line to completion of the finish keeping the face square in a pendulem fashion so the the left thumb never hitchikes. The shoulders still have to rotate on their own accord from the natural clearance of the leftside that enables the clubhead to return back on plane.
The Real Moe Norman’s shaft on his transition would come close to his neck and very close to hitting his right foot from the lag he created as demonstrated in some of the photos displayed on this thread. The clubhead was always behind Moe with great seperation of the left and right knee in a sitting position that Lawson Mitchell the other author described as the batters box in The Real Moe Norman book.
The wall mentioned in this article had nothing to do with the club going behind Moe. The wall The Real Moe Norman use to mention was for the purposes of his left arm and bowed left wrist riding the line never hitchiking so he would never hit the wall. Make no mistake The Real Moe Norman wanted the clubhead deep behind him creating great lead and lag.
As for hinging on the backswing in a artifical manner as expressed in this artical. NO. When the left arm goes across the chest on the backswing the right elbow or trail arm automaticly folds. When the vertical drop takes place the right elbow leads as a result of the left arm pushing downward directing the left palm to the right heel. You are in sequence to hit the golf ball with the (shaft) so naturally the hands will lead ahead of the club head. The Real Moe Norman use to describe it to me as retaining the angle beyond impact as the club head will always catch up to square as you hit through the ball not to it.
The Real Moe Norman’s golf swing is based on the proper sequence of motion that creates maxium speed at impact and beyond by swinging with yourself by hitting your positions. I have noticed this article does not come even close to what Moe does. How could these Moe Norman promoters say such trash if they really understood what The Real Moe Norman actually did in his swing? After reading this article I can tell you the writer like the golf channel instructors dont know where pendulem is or how to get there. I do with confidence from The Real Moe Norman’s final secret to me.
I apoligize but i still have 50% more knowledge beyond the first book that i would like to reveal in a second book as an advanced edition. This book will provide unknown insight on The Real Moe Norman’s ball flight of his pure straight strike and Ben Hogan’s unrevealed famous secret.
Thank you
