Was there any part of the golfing machine procedure that applied to Moe's swing?
Moe Norman was asked in his video presentation to the PGA's Coaching and Teaching Summit what he liked best about his swing:
"My extension!" he said. "And how well I hit my positions!"
In TGM's Mechanical Checklist for All Strokes (12-3), there are 45 precision alignments to be monitored in the 12 Sections of the Stroke. Extension (Extensor Action) is listed in nine of the Twelve Sections, which makes it 20 percent of the list (most items are mentioned only once). From Start Up to Follow-Through (the Both Arms Straight position), no matter what else is going on, Extensor Action is present. So, Moe's choice of "Extension" as his first response was a good one.
Also, Moe was a fanatic about his "straight line through the golf course". In other words, the baseline of his Inclined Plane (that extends to infinity in both directions). Anyone who has seen him -- in person or in his videos -- knows that everything he did in his swing related to that Straight Line Basic. So, when Moe said "How well I hit my positions", he was referring to the continuous alignment of his swing to the Plane in the sequential Sections of the Stroke.
