Legit?

quote:

He devised what is known as "The Norman Swing" —- rigid arms extended far from his body, a very wide stance with minimal knee bend, shorter-than-usual backswing and extended follow-through with minimal hand action, which produced amazingly accurate ball placement.

Was absolutely legit. He's just about the only guy that could do it though.

best ball striker to ever step foot on a golf course, hands down bar non.

one of the biggest beefs i have with the pga is how they treated him and made him feel as an outcast. he could have been great for the growth of golf, if given a chance.

There is a guy, Todd Graves (no, not that one), who is pimping the Moe Norman swing theory online.

Legit if you only want to hit it 250 yards off the tee.

I saw moe give a clinic in 1995. Unbelievable. Dude must have hit 500 drives and not one was more than 5 yards off line!

Yeah, he sold out before he died. There was a system called natural golf that was sold that taught his method. I really like it and it would benefit a lot of golfers out there.

There are some great YouTube videos of moe out there:
This is one

That's plenty for probably 75-80% of golfers.

Great driving distances are spewed on here so much you'd think everyone was a hair's distance from the PGA tour. I have never played with ANYONE who claimed to drive the ball 270+ and who could actually do it consistently and effectively. Most of them never really measured their shots; they just assumed the ball was going that far.
