The Thumb Position That Unlocks a Perfect Wrist Hinge—Moe Norman Knew It

Описание: There's a small detail in Moe Norman's grip that most people overlook—but it's one of the keys to his legendary ball striking.

It's his lead thumb position.

Not long. Not short. Medium. And there's a deliberate gap between the thumb and index finger that most golfers never notice.

Why does it matter? Because that specific position creates the perfect mechanical condition for radial deviation—allowing the wrist to hinge correctly and the clubface to stay on plane throughout the swing. It's what let Moe pull the shaft rather than push it, generating effortless speed and precision.

This isn't a minor tweak. It's foundational. And once you understand why Moe did it, you'll never grip the club the same way again.

Want to go deeper into the mechanics behind Moe's swing? My new book The Intelligent Golf Swing breaks down the simple, powerful principles that made Moe Norman the greatest ball striker who ever lived—and shows you how to find that swing inside yourself.

About the Single Plane Golf Swing

The Single Plane golf swing is not a quick fix golf technique. It is a system, beginning at address, that simplifies the most important moment of the golf swing - impact.

Starting at address on two planes where the arms hang straight down at address, the Conventional golf swing is complicated. Because the arms are hanging straight down, a conventional golfer must lift the body into impact creating stress on the back.

This upward movement to accommodate the two planes is unnecessary.

The Single Plane Golf swing simplifies the golf swing by eliminating the need for the upward movement by starting and impacting on the same plane.
