Have you ever reviewed any of Jack Kuykendall systems? Ive tried a few of his over the years with some success

@joecalvacca3195 says:

Interesting

@Sueezedtight says:

A question for you: "What is needed to compress the ball?" (Hint, there is one and only one correct answer.)

@Sueezedtight says:

If you have the most efficient and effective method, just achieve it and repeat it. The one swing key is the relation of the club shaft to the pivot point just inside the rib cage on the lead side just above the navel. Use a long pole and grip it in the middle then address the ball. You will see that the pole touches your lead side. Use a club and set up with the extension of the club aiming just inside the point where the pole touched your side. The first part of the backswing MUST maintain this relationship. So, you turn your torso while taking the club back. This then points the club at a spot about 5 ft. behind and 1 ft. in from the ball and the target line. Complete the backswing and note that the butt of the club is now pointed at that spot. You will be on plane and in sync with the pivot point.

Senior Golfer 18 handicap and going down due to your fantastic videos. Swinging the circle or arch was the missing piece in my swing, my only swing thought now, I almost feel like a pro. Thank you,

@michaelayala1174 says:

Might be the best "single plane swing tip yet" drawing the circle is really a smooth swing! Getting really nice feeling shots like this! Thank you for sharing!

@Kenjones444 says:

Love the videos! I'm a little over a year into the SPS from Graves golf, and though I'm enjoying it and it has definitely improved my game, I struggle with "hitting the positions". Specifically position 2, the top of the backswing. I like that you used broader concepts like tracing around the swing plane as opposed to hitting mandatory positions that Graves Golf teaches. One thing is certain, the SPS is much easier on the back. I can play 36 holes a day without difficulty using the SPS, which was not possible with my old conventional swing. Keep up the great work!

@Grunt21Tennessee says:

Are you keeping your legs straight or with a slight bend?

@jeffamador6037 says:

Thanks for the informative and entertaining single plane videos.Can you describe what your wrists do or don’t do (cocking and hinging) in the swing? For this question, I'll refer to cocking as the up and down (vertical) movement and hinging as the side to side (horizontal) movement. At set up the lead wrist is fully un-cocked (ulnar deviation) and it returns to that position at impact with the ball. But at the top of the swing does the lead wrist have to cock and then fully un-cock when ball contact is made, requiring almost perfect timing similar to a conventional swing? Lastly is there any hinging/unhinging of the trailing wrist?

@glenj.taylor2938 says:

Well Sir, looking and sounding better than ever. Your energy and enthusiasm as always is infectious.
What I think you presented in this video was the ole "swing the club, don't try to hit the ball." Am I right?
Also, as I had read through the other comments, that recent Bryson revelation on the driving range was what I call "slow the hands."
If you watch the video with that thought in mind it'll make sense.
Effectively his swing path is so fast, he "discovered" that is he keeps the same tempo on everything else but slows his hands down at the base of his swing, it allows the clubhead to WHIP through. This naturally increases clubhead speed.
These are reasons why most well known golfers have described holding the club firm but softly. This allows for free movement of the joints.
Good stuff as always Sir. I hope to make it to the range and eventually course soon myself as it's been far too many years.

M8, u had me at "Golf" and "Dummy". Subbed and well worth it. Total beginner just love learning the game. Good luck with the channel

@johncagney7268 says:

Chad, would you consider a comparison at the end with Kirk's setup4impact system which is less prescriptive & more customisable? Some key differences would be – narrower stance, address position closer to ball & not having to maintain trail foot on ground at impact. It would be interesting to get your take on the differences.

@rehydn says:

Love how simple you're keeping it! Gonna work on implementing that into my journey of the single plane swing. That grouping was insane from that range! Good work

@Alan_Edwards says:

I can clearly see the difference in your swing. It does look like you hit on something – for you anyway. Now that I have my indoor simulator setup I can get to work on some of these concepts. I am a true believer in having a swing that works for you and your anatomy – ala Shawn Clement. So far though I have not had the success you have had at least when I take a full swing. When I take a shorter 1/2 or 3/4 swing I make great contact it's just when I take a full swing crap goes to hell. I really want to make it work so hopefully now that I can practice every day, I can start to get similar results. Keep it up man…I swear you are the only reason I have not gone back to my old swing. Whenever I feel like quitting I just watch one of your video to get back on track. Saw one the other day on Bryson's channel where he has a revelation in his swing and he talks about how he comes up with ideas and how he integrates them into his swing. Similar concept to how you are approaching your own swing. Was a pretty good one. Check it out.

@timothypollock8358 says:

Hey, great and very lucid description of Moe Norman's motives and I one hundred percent agree with you. I also think that you really hit the nail on the head in describing the spatial and proprioceptive challenges of the golf swing and I personally have had the experience of additionally having those challenges significantly ramp up as I've gotten older because some of the natural capacities diminish. I used to have an amazing natural golf swing but now I seem to need to understand what I am actually physically doing, especially with the smaller muscles. I also think you are right that you maybe have been responding to some wrong conception of the swing and built a very ingrained pattern. For example, people have often been told or have believed that they should extend the arms in the early backswing but this will not work for a flatter swing (such as Moe's) and/or a swing that is based on a lot of torso rotation throughout the motion. Extending the arms for those types of swings for more than a couple of inches (instead of beginning to fold the trail arm) will mess up your arc and get you off plane causing all of the problems that you mentioned. I think that you have been fighting this even in your pre-Moe One Plane swing; essentially you had a flat swing motion with an upright swing takeaway. You also had a big hip turn but this is more common with upright swings because a large hip turn starts to steepen the plane substantially; both Hogan and Norman had restricted hip turns. If you watch Norman's hip turn carefully, it is interesting because the last portion of his (still limited) hip turn is just more of a slight pushing of the lead hip and leg forward. This sort of balances the turn in the two sides of the body and also effectively flattens the hip turn slightly so that he can swing more around his body. The motion is looking better and better (and more Moe like) and you have achieved a great progression in a relatively short period. If I just single out something small for improvement, it would be that while you have very successfully incorporated earlier trail arm folding (great work) to improve early planing of the club, there is a certain amount of lead wrist flexion (not hooding, that is gone) early in your takeway rather than the almost completely flat wrists of Graves and Norman. I mention it because I believe that this is a slight to moderate power drain and on longer clubs (especially those struck downwardly) will affect crispness of strike. Great video and nice work on the improvements, Onward and upward! (CS Lewis quote). PS Sorry this was so long 🙁

@rickcudmore8156 says:

Do you still use the right foot push to start the downswing with your circle?

@stephhamilton8100 says:

Nice ????
Sean Clements has done some nice stuff about the turn coming from hips and chest in the one plane swing, rather than shoulders. Worth a look
