Hi, did you use natural golf clubs (what type) for your swing? Thanks.

I get confused over all the differences in the Natural Golf. In the Natural Golf magazine, durine an interview with Moe, its says that he gripped the club with his left hand very hard like he was squeezing blood from a stone, and very easy with his right hand, but in other natural golf articles they tell you to grip the club lightly enough so that the club doesn't go flying out of your hands when you hit the ball. Which is correct? and one other thing, ..why are natural golf clubs so expensive compared to other conventional clubs?

I started playing golf when I was 6 and played until high school when I switched to tennis. After I was injured, I came back to golf in my late 30's. After 2 years working on my conventional swing, I was about a 22 index. Then, one day, after a particularly horrible round with pro Kevin Sutherland in a charity event, I went home, ordered the Natural Golf tapes and changed my swing. After two years, I am now a 14 index and have broken 80 three times. It works.

I played in a "Snowbirds" scramble today at the Raven GC in Sandestin, Florida and noticed that one of our 4some was using the Natural Golf swing and grip. This fellow is pushing 70 and has a 10 handicap. Asked how he learned the technique and he replied that he used Videos and Instruction manuals produced by Moe Norman. I can tell you that his drives ranged from 250 to 290 yards and all of his shots were as straight as a die. Am giving serious consideration to testing this method.

Name me three other players who have carded three 59's in their professional careers on any tour. Ok, two other players? One? Moe did it with his "dubious...Canadian...stink-bug-like" swing. You sound like many among the press and players of Moe's time, who mocked Moe for his unconventional style. I'd swing the club like spastic orangutan if it worked. For me, Natural Golf works, 20 to 9 handicap in two years and still making steady progress.

I also believe in Natural Golf but am having troulble with my swing. I know that I must be doing something wrong but I just can't figure it out, I suspect it's my grip. Please tell me who you took lessons from. I have only learned from watching the videos and have been playing golf two years.

The proof is in the pudding all I know is that at 67 my handicap has dropped from 15 to 9.9 since I took up the Moe Norman methods. I think Mr.McDonald is trying to generate comments. Hitting a bucket of balls is not enough even if you know what you are talking about. Not every swing is taught by "established" teachers witness Jim Furyk or the old putting style of Billy Mayfair but it does get the job done.

What is this guy talking about? Golf has been evolving since it's inception. Where would the game be if the founding fathers quit because it was different and funny looking? Besides let's face it, for the most part we're all amatures on the course. I've played with many conventional golfers that had anything but a conventional looking swing, and they did just fine. Myself, I've switched from conventional to natural, back to conventional and now back to natural. I've learned many things about my swing by embracing change. The bottom line is, if it works then use it. I wanted to commect because the article just seemed to be a vehicle for this guy to look down his nose and let the rest of us know that he's much better than the rest of us, and his opinion is all we need. If you're going to critique natural, hitting a couple of buckets out on the range (without the proper grips) is not the way to do it. Like anything else, it takes a little time and practice. Anyway thanks for letting me post my opinion. Happy golfing no matter which method you use.

IF YOU EVER SAW MOE NORMAN HIT GOLF BALLS, YOU NEVER WILL FORGET IT. THE CONSISTANCY, THE SOUND, THE FLIGHT OF THE BALL, PERFECT, EVERY TIME. THE BALL WOULD HAVE PERFECT BACKSPIN, AND WHEN THE BALL STOPPED SPINNING, IT JUST DROPPED OUT OF THE SKY, EXACTLY ON LINE AND EXACTLY THE DISTANCE HE INTENDED. MOE WAS THE BEST, BAR NONE, WHEN IT CAME TO BALL STRIKING.
