I have started to try and swing like Moe Norman, and I find it to be the easiest and most successful (in terms of accuracy and ball trajectory/distance) swing style that I have ever tried. I have previously tried many different swing styles (eg. standard body-pivot swing ala Hogan, Hardy OPS and 2PS, Leslie King left arm swing, TT right arm swing, Croker arm swing) and the Moe Norman swing style works much better than any of those swing styles for me.
I am interested in learning how the Moe Norman swing works from a TGM perspective. Have any of you used the Moe Norman swing style and do you think that it is swinger's action or a hitter's action? I have never previously been a hitter, but the "feeling" that I get when using the MN swing style is a "feeling" of hitting with the right arm (a "feeling" of actively extending the right elbow). However, there is an additional "feeling" of having the right shoulder actively moving behind the right arm hit so as to provide additional swing power. In other words, it doesn't "feel" like my conceptual understanding of a four barrel hitter's action - which I presume occurs in the following sequence 4:1:2/3 with the right shoulder providing pivot-driven power to PA#4 before the release of PA#1. It "feels" like the release of PA #4 and #1 are occurring near-simultaneously. I realize that "feel" and "reality" don't always coincide so I am interested in informed opinions from forum members who have tried the MN swing style.
