Is anyone here familiar with the Natural Golf method? I just got a set of irons on eBay that came with the Natural Golf grips and after looking into their website was intrigued. My question now is, as a beginner, should I get a set of Natural Golf grips for my woods as well and learn this swing or am I better off just regripping my irons with standard grips and taking a more traditional approach?

You must work very hard to become a natural golfer.

Every method has its plusses and minuses. Natural Golf is supposed to have been an offshoot of Moe Norman's swing, and Moe is perhaps the best ball striker that ever lived.

But it's an odd swing, and Moe wasn't long (he was longer than amateurs of course, but compared to his pro peers, he wasn't, if you know what I mean), and you might have trouble finding an instructor nearby.

But I'm a big fan of doing the research and seeing what you like, so do the research and see if you like it. It worked for Moe, and Jerry Foltz used it when he was on the Nationwide Tour...

I've been working on this method with very good results. Haven't lost a bit of distance, perhaps gained a few, coming off of stack and tilt. Laser straight balls when hit properly. I became interested in Moe's swing as I heard this swing was easier on my back. It is.

Graves Golf Academy is also teaching the swing:

Also don't worry about regripping to try the swing out. If you like it, you can always work with your own grips and/or add a few wraps of tape under a normal grip where your bottom hand goes. Natural Golf is real product oriented...

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.

      Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down.

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.

      Day 8 (Jun 8 26) - Stayed the drill but added two additional irons (7i, 8i and 9i) - using Divot Board and hard foam balls - focused on tempo and purposed pause at the top….noticing how open the club is marking the board when I try to kill it and how much more square (and better distance) when I focus on these keys.
