Moe Norman's Grip: Single-Axis Right Hand Grip

Jack Kuykendall explains the mechanics behind Moe Norman's famous single-axis grip and his transition to a separated-hand style in 1992. The video demonstrates how aligning the shaft with the right forearm and palm creates a 'doorknob' effect for superior clubhead speed and control.

• A separated-hand grip acts like pushing on a doorknob rather than a hinge, increasing leverage.
• The back of the left hand should point in the same direction as the clubface with no knuckles visible on top.
• The butt of the grip must align with the bottom of the right forearm and push into the thumb pad.
• The shaft, right palm, and right forearm should form a single axis for maximum consistency.
• Transitioning from an overlapping grip to a separated-hand grip can improve both speed and ball-striking accuracy.
