A Brief
Overview of the Natural Golf Swing© Moe
Norman, a Tour Professional for many
years, was one of the original Founders of the Natural Golf method. He is shown here in these photos,
demonstrating the Natural Golf Grip, the Set-up, the Backswing, the Swing at
Ball Impact, and the Swing Finish. On
the Tour he was known for incredible machine-like accuracy of his shots. Several present Tour Professional golfers
are using the Natural Golf swing. |

The Grip
In
Natural Golf, the proper grip is essential to the swing accuracy. Notice
there is no interlocking of fingers from one hand to the other. The club is placed on a diagonal across
the palms of the hands similar to the way a hammer handle is held. |

The Set-up
The Natural
Golf swing is designed to be completed in a “Straight Line” or
“Pendulum-like” action unlike the numerous planes used in the conventional
swing. This straight line swing very
much emulates the mechanical robots used in testing clubs and balls for
accuracy and distance. Notice how the
club shaft forms a direct line extension with the arms all the way up to the
shoulders. Notice the wide foot
stance to keep the waist quiet.

The Backswing
At the top of
the backswing, the club will not be as high in order to maintain the grip
hand position, keep the head down and the leading arm straight. The right elbow should remain close to the
body at the apex of the backswing.
The hips are “cocked” slightly rearward, but remain square with the
ball and feet remain quiet. The ball
is played in line with the back edge of the leading foot.

At Impact
Notice
the arms, wrists, and hands are all in the same position as they were at
set-up. The head remains behind the
ball and faces the ball at impact.
The hips are released as the forward knee bends slightly. Notice the rear shoulder is slightly lower
at the time the club strikes the ball, which releases the power for better
distance. Feet remain firmly planted. |

The Finish
After impact,
the body is allowed to rotate slightly to follow the path of the ball. The club follow-thru arc is in the
intended direction of the ball’s flight path. The back heel is allowed to leave the ground.
