Moe Norman Sequence

You got to love this swing!

In Moe's setup...what was his purpose for setting up around & with the clubhead a foot or so behind the ball?
It's amazing how his feet stay so glued to the ground...talk about anchors.

Moe Norman said himself that this set up rules out taking the club to far inside or outside

Here's another view of Moe's interesting swing...there's been discussion whether he had any plane shifts.

Thanks for these sequences, hg. There is much to learn here. One comment: Are you sure the top Plane Angle graphic (Frame 8 ) is to the tip of the Turned Right Shoulder? I know the white shirt makes precise identification difficult, but to my eye, the line appears a touch low. Check it out and let us know what you see. Thanks!

Meanwhile . . .

Someone once asked Moe -- it was either Craig Shankland at a PGA of America Coaching and Teaching Summit or Peter Kessler in The Golf Channel segment -- "What do you like best about your swing?"

"My extension," said Moe. "And how well I hit my positions."

• Extension; and
  
• Aligned Positions.

This is The Golfing Machine in a nutshell (see 12-3 / The Mechanical Checklist For All Strokes).

For those so inclined, study 6-B-3-0-1 (Extensor Action); 2-F (Inclined Plane); 2-N-0 (Clubhead Orbit); 7-5 (Plane Line); 2-G and 7-10 (Hinge Action and its Vertical Left Wrist); Release Motions (4-D-0); and Chapter 8 (Twelve Sections of the Stroke).

Yoda....You are correct...the graphics was already present on the source of the video and I believe was intended to demonstrate the clubshaft on the same line at setup and impact and in Frame 9 of the early part of the downswing. Below is a new graphic line that shows the turned shoulder plane
