Join us for this edition of Single Plane Quick Tips, where Tim Graves, PGA, reviews a before and after of a student's...

Distance guidelines as set by the PGA, hosted by Tim Graves, PGA

When it comes to your swing mechanics, there are a lot of examples of cause and effect. In today's case, we discuss lag. To put it simply, lag is caused by your hands and arms hinging in your downswing, which results in the club head lagging behind, hence the name. Lag is visible, but it is very ...

One of the most important aspects of the Single Plane Swing is the space created from the golf ball. Proper mechanics and spacing will allow for consistent impact and straight trajectories. That being said, that spatial relationship must remain unchanged throughout the movements of the swing. Two...

When it comes to your Single Plane Swing, there are many different elements to keep in mind. Biomechanics, positions, setup, you know the drill. That being said, something that is easy to neglect when it comes to practicing is the idea of having constant fluid motion. Yes, stopping and feeling yo...

When it comes to your swing, the plane is everything. It is critical to mind your hand positions, angles, rotation, etcetera, but that can be hard to do without some form of help. Thankfully, we've designed the perfect tool for practicing these things- the Single Plane Position Trainer. It's fina...

"Planing the face" is a phrase you've probably heard from us quite a bit. Upon impact, the club face should be square, producing a clean, straight shot. Repeatability is key here, and being consistent with this sort of thing requires practice. Naturally, we have developed the perfect solution whe...

When it comes to your Single Plane Swing, your positions are incredibly important. Not only are the positions themselves important, but properly sequencing them is critical to the process. This sequence starts with grip and address, and as such, mastering this should be a major priority going for...

Every round of golf you play will require all sorts of different shots to handle different scenarios. Sometimes, you might need a shot to go low and quick, other times you might want it to go high and sit upon landing. How do you perform this consistently, though? Todd Graves is here to help, tal...

Your address position, and how you establish your position at address, are critical. The Single Plane Swing is the most natural way to swing a golf club, and as such, both your address and backswing will mirror that statement. Finding that ideal side tilt and pelvic position at address will allow...

As we have covered numerous times in the past, both balance and stability are both keys to improving your Single Plane Swing. That being said, stability can be elusive, and hold golfers back from finding consistency. Join us for this Single Plane Quick Tip, where Todd Graves explores balance, and...

In today's edition of Single Plane Quick Tips, we talk about swinging within yourself during your full swing. It is very common for golfers to swing out of their shoes, and that really isn't productive for lowering your scores. The benefits of staying within yourself during your full swing will a...

Here at Graves Golf, we know just how important stance width is. Today, we look into the proper stance widths for your hybrids, with the aid of our Alignment & Ball Position Trainer. Your stance width is part of your address, which along with your grip, forms the foundation of your Single Plane S...

A symbiotic relationship is defined by Merriam-Webster as being "a cooperative relationship as between two persons or groups."As we have extensively covered in our Power Generation Masterclass, the lower body and upper body work in tandem to generate power. Keeping that in mind, the name of this ...

Over the course of the past few Single Plane Quick Tips that have been hosted by Todd Graves, he has been talking about the body, and its relationship to power generation. Today, he delves into stability, and how a stable lower body helps your upper body generate more power. These topics have bee...

In our last Single Plane Quick Tip hosted by Todd Graves, we covered the kinematic sequence, that of course being the interaction between power and how your body positions itself. Today, we continue the subject, now focusing purely on those positions, and just why they're so important. It can be ...

Lately, we've spent a lot of time discussing generating power in the body that translates to speed in your swing. Today, we delve deeper into the subject, as Todd Graves explains not just kinematic sequence, but how you can position your body throughout the swing to aid in generating more power, ...

In the Single Plane Swing, your grip and the dynamic motions of your hands are incredibly important. Today, Todd Graves explores the latter of these two. Moe always said he liked it "Sunny-side Up." This refers to the orientation of the trail hand, given some adjustments of the upper body and sho...

Consistency is a major perk of the Single Plane Swing. Those who have been a part of our training for long enough will know, creating consistency comes largely from making mechanical improvements and optimizations. The lead hand is a major factor in the grip, and your grip is key to finding Perfe...

Swing plane is a topic we often discuss. Quite literally, it is the single idea (pun intended) that Graves Golf has been built around. That being said, how much do you really know about it? There might just be some key details you missed, or hadn't connected the dots with yet. Join us for part on...

In the last quick tip, we covered some specifics in the kinematic sequence. Today, we run it back and cover the basics of what this is. In any rotational sport, this idea is critical to maximizing your acceleration. Join us as Todd Graves gives an introductory run down of this concept.

The kinematic sequence is something that should be familiar to any rotational athlete, even if not familiar by name. Simply put, this is the process by which your body moves different parts at different speeds at different times to generate acceleration and power in the club. Today's quick tip is...

Obviously, there is plenty to be said about body movement in relation to your swing. Momentum, proper mechanics, how to train these movements, and so on. What we need to talk about today is the inverse. Stopping your body is important in golf, and in any rotational sport as well. Doing this activ...

If you have been a member of Graves Golf for any period of time, you should know by now that we love a good deep dive into the small things that make your golf swing function. As we make clear, we operate on the basis of following a model, and often times that can take the form of making smaller ...
