If able, I'll put my chipping, pitching n putting videos too.

I have a dream some day I can train "street children" to play golf for free.

Looking at this as a "second pair of eyes" sort of thing i think what a lot of the guys, especially the low handicap players would agree with is that you look very flat footed on the trail side. Try to get the weight forward during the swing so you end up with most on the front fot and the trail foot on its toes.

As a guy with bad knees seeing someone hit hard while not letting the trail foot move makes my knees hurt :-D.

Also not a lot of wrist hinge. check out the video below. Its graves golf but shows Moe swinging with good views of his wrist action and footwork (2.07 in)

 

Also if you're dead set on Single Axis/Moe Norman then Kirk Junge does his own version.

Doesn't matter how you swing as long as it helps you enjoy the game.

I'm not qualified to comment on your swing, but I'd suggest you get new video from better camera positions.  Check here:

to understand the camera position that gives the experts the information they need to get you the best possible advice.

Thanks RussUK for the input,

yes, I aware of that I lack of weight forward when swinging........this is my FIRST home work. (this on is a MUST).

Wrist hinge, or lag......will be my next home work. (It could be optional, but lag are good for distance).

I’m no expert, first glance looks like your rotation is minimal both on your back swing and your follow through, look pretty stiff.

We’re all a work in progress that’s why we’re on this dang site.

to improve my swing, to be more like Moe Norman (it will never be the same, just similar)....I need :

1. havier clubs

2. bigger grip

If I got some spare money, I mighy upgrade in future. either next project gol or bitcoin hit 30k. :D

I think providing your clubs fit you ok you should be ok without having to go full Moe club spec. Check Kirk Junge, he swings in a similar way and says you dont need to change your clubs.

All good swings share the same things in common regardless of whether its a single axis or 2 plane swing. Check out the 5 simple keys thread as this should help you.

Sorry the video is only ball flight not my swing, since it was my first day with the "right" Moe Norman's swing...so I just want to enjoy the eureka moment first (not thinking about video shot angle etc.), and I think the best part of Moe Norman's swing is the ball flight.

I will update my swing in the next video.

I hope I can break 90 with this swing in my next game.

My biggest hazard in golf is not sand, not water but.....cash 😄

Thank you RussUK, I have watched Kirk Junge and Graves videos, and last week just found eureka moment with it (video in upper post).

Updated, why always have somethings to be fixed...

1. I shouldn't lift my (left) feet at impact.

2. Keep my balance.

3. No chicken wing (thanks to Backyard Golfer) I think I can fix that all three with one stone: create some lag in my back swing.

Finally, I think I've got my final swing, yes it inspired by Moe Norman swing.

More consistant and more accurate ball flight.

Will update the full swing video at next range session, meanwhile watch this pitching indoor video:

Pitch shot shot practice at my back yard against concrete wall:

 

I could hurt my self this time....but the positive thing is: I could hit thousand balls a day like Moe...if I have time.
