About this episode
Can one swing make golf simpler — and keep you playing longer?In this episode of The Bag Drop: Untold Stories in Golf, host Matt Considine and cohost Dr. Kevin Moore (a.k.a. “The Professor”) sit down with Todd Graves (founder of Graves Golf Academy and a leading steward of Moe Norman’s single-plane swing) to explore Moe’s legend, the science of striking it pure, and why biomechanics matter more than “pretty positions.”If you’ve ever chased consistency, fought back pain, or wondered why Bryson DeChambeau geeks out like a NASA scientist on Moe Norman's legendary golf swing, this one’s for you.The conversation dives into:• Moe Norman’s legacy — and what Todd learned by spending a decade with him• Why “the sound of the golf ball” is the one true tell for the flushiest flushers• Single-plane biomechanics, efficiency, and injury prevention (especially for senior golfers)• “Positions before sequence before speed” — and why commitment beats tinkering• Bryson DeChambeau: where modern science meets Moe’s blueprint• Why Todd prefers to fit golfers into a great swing (not fit clubs to a broken one)Connect with our guests??
