Kirk has taught golf for 33 years now. That includes many years of conventional golf. He taught for many years for Natural Golf Corporation, Single Axis golf, and the Moe Norman Single plane golf swing for Todd Graves and the Graves Golf Academy. He currently teaches his Single Plane Setup 4 Impact swing which has many similarities to all of the above. The big difference is that Kirk fits the swing to each individual golfer.
Kirk Junge currently teaches his Single Plane Golf swing full-time in West Palm Beach, Florida in the Winter months, Cincinnati, Ohio a couple times per year. Other locations coming soon. More info at learninggolf.tv/about-us/abou...

Went back to this. It was my first starting point for golf. Try going to traditional way and I was always to fat and hitting the ground fat. Went out yesterday used the tips in this video. And I shot under my goal
I played single-axis golf for many years, after reading the '96 Golf Digest article about Moe Norman. I went through various schools of thought, Jack Kuykendall, Scott Hazeldine, Todd Graves, and then a few years back I found your online instruction. I think yours, and Scott Hazeldine's (how to master the golf swing) are the easiest, quickest to learn. For the past few years I've delved into other non single-axis swing methods, thinking that I was missing out on some speed/power. I have a monthly membership at a local place which has Trackman bays, and I go there almost every day. Long story short, I saw this video pop up in my feed last night and it got me curious to try it again. It was easy to pick up again, and I found that I get just as much swing speed with this as any other, but I hit the ball much straighter, and my average ball speed went up due to making better contact I'm guessing. The other methods I have tried also work, but they brought in too much inconsistency. I should have just stayed with single axis.
Hi James, Hard to believe I started this all 25 years ago!!! My learning system is at setup4impact.com/online/
I found that as I got older swinging like Moe got harder so I moved closer to the ball and lowered my hands. My vision and balance deteriorated and finding the sweet spot got harder. I still swing that way sometimes and I have always been amazed at how my body can get it all right one day and then lose it all the next.
Wow! Another great video! Thanks Kirk for all you do! I’m loving this single plane swing.
Thank you for all the lesson and explanation you've been giving, it make more enjoyable. You are great, Kirk Junge
One of your best videos Kirk!!!
Thanks Tom!
So glad I found you Kirk! You confirm what I've discovered on my own while trying to learn the GGA method for the pasts 5 months. FYI, I tried Natural Golf 20 some years ago and had to deviate from that in order to hit the ball more consistently and farther. I've recently narrowed my stance and moved closer to the ball which has been a big help. And a big shout out to fitting the swing to the individual, not the other way around.
Thank you Kirk was going to throw in the towel but now shooting more straight into the eighties 👍🏻💯🙌🏻
I am a so called "experienced player" ( 71 years old, handicap 8 ) I always struggled for solid contact. Yesterday I happened to watch a few of your UA-cam videos. Today went to the driving range - and it was amazing! I am absolutely enthusiastic!
Awesome!! Keep it simple and enjoy the game.
Absolutely the best video Kirk has put out!!! Just got back from the practice range and I can't wait for tee time tomorrow morning. Thanks Kirk.
Have fun
great video your system really helped my game
Thanks dude this is a life saver!!!!! Golf on
Hi Kirk ,I played golf today at a par 3 course ,been trying ur swing ,it was awesome ,felt so confident,all day ,the for your instructions
Excellent, great to hear!!!
Just found your videos today Kirk. I tried the Moe Norman approach for a while this season. Then I watched your video. Much easier. I would describe your approach as having "fewer moving parts" which always improves the golf swing. Thank you
Welcome aboard!
Thanks Kirk ,ur instructions are so helpful )))))
Glad you like them!
Thx it's wonderful instruction
One advantage to the modified single plane swing is that on the down swing you are automatically creating a natural " slot" , unlike in a conventional swing, you have to create it.
Long overdue, I guess. Thanks again Kirk.
Thanks so much. Excellent!
You're very welcome!
Have been practicing, for 4 months, the « Graves Academy » golf swing. I love Todd Graves…great communicator…and just love « Moe Norman ». But now…the « 10 myths of the Single plane swing » busted by Kirk has convinced me to move away from the Moe Norman way. Can wait to go try Kirk’s method on the range this afternoon :-)
I had the same experience. And came to the same conclusion as you have.
I ve put jumbo max size medium small , they feel really good, actually amazing.. iam setting up 4 impact, doing all your drills and copying the way you chip .. really simple and ties in with you swing.. iam playing really really well only doing for 3 months ( also iam griping it the way you advised and that felt natural straight away ) iam so excited for the upcoming season 🏌🏿
Awesome. Keep it simple and have fun!!
Love everything you do. Thanks for saving my game . Let me know when you’ll be hosting again in California!
Schools scheduled in California in September. There are few spots left. It is in Graeagle, not Stockton.

@@Setup4Impact DO you suggest using a strong grip? And please have a school in Dallas
Went to the range yesterday...tried your setup and had some good success when I let my hips rotate and keep some weight on my lead leg. Have always used too much arms and needs to let my shoulders guide the swing. Thanks!
Keep it up
I am 71 and just returning to play the game. I used Hogan's method in the past, at times with great success. I think the genius of Moe Norman was twofold: 1. He dropped the Vardon grip. 2. He reversed his setup to what he wanted at impact giving him the single plane swing. I can see what you mean with Moe's dip. It seems to be his adjustment which he perfected for himself. I am perhaps in the best shape of my life, working out all winter on my Bowflex. I don't expect to lose distance and gaining accuracy is what it is all about. Perhaps in all of this, I just might also lose some weight. Thanks from Kirk to KIrk. I will keep reviewing your videos. They are a great help. I might even finally buy some good clubs. I believe that it is not the clubs, but the man behind them.
HI Kirk, As soon as you have your swing perfected then get clubs to fit that motion perfectly.
I began SPS in the 1990’s with Natural Golf. I went because I could and was curious. Tried it unsuccessfully. Went to Graves several times because they made it sound easy. It wasn’t. Copying every move of Moe Norman was a nightmare. I struggled for years. Ran into a few of your videos and it was like a revelation. You showed me why Moe was not for me but why your SPS method was. Anyone who wants to improve and isn’t following you and your videos, frankly, needs their head examined.
Thanks Lou. I worked with Graves for a couple years and it became painfully obvious to me that they only care about one thing. MONEY!!!! Glad you saw the light. I am here to help people improve as quickly as possible and love what I do.
@@Setup4Impact You are 1000% correct re Graves. Every single thing they do is based on selling you something.
That 5 wood shot was on a string! Great content as always.
seemed pretty effortless as well
Key notes -3.33 the grip leading the club head through impact. 4.45 the impact plane. 6.08 ball on centre of club face. 7.40 straighten your arms while setting up. 8.25 arms length difference between setup & impact. 8.50 Basically: SETTING UP ON THE PLANE IT’S GOING TO BE AT THE IMPACT. 9:08 how to setup. 10.34 details on how to set up. Great instructions. Thank you.
Spent just a few minutes on this today using Birdie Balls in my yard and was making solid contact in no time. Need to spend more time with it, but it appears to be real promising. Feels a bit awkward but that will change over time - pretty much like any other swing change you make. Takes some time for the brain and body to coordinate. Good stuff Kirk. Glad I came across this channel. Too bad you don't do Michigan.
Keep at it and you will continue to improve. My online learning program is easy to follow and takes you step by step through the swing. People from Michigan are allowed to visit Florida in the winter as far as I know. :)
@@Setup4Impact I have been practicing almost daily from the mat with impact tape and in the yard with the birdie balls. Took the swing to the local Par 3 twice and going again today. My iron striking has improved so much. I always struggled with hitting the ball first but find it a lot easier with the SP swing. When I do make contact is is nice and crisp. Accuracy with my irons has improved dramatically too. Not so much with my hybrids which were my bread and butter, but I am able to strike my long irons again so there is that. Still not taking a full swing either since I tend to come out of form when I do. I'll get there though.
I don't travel too well so was planning to do the online course. I need to check out some of the indoor ranges near me to see if they give me the room I need to take videos and use my launch monitor too, otherwise I will probably start in the spring when I can get back outdoors. Either way I am committed. I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Talk to you soon.
I just my jumbomax grip but I got zenlite and I love them
Love them too!! I have not tried the Zenlite yet though.
I am so glad I found your videos. I have started using your swing and have increased both distance and accuracy, though I am still working on consistency. My main problem is making sure I rotate through the shot; for some reason it is hard for me to do a complete turn. Do you have any instructors in South East Michigan (Ann Arbor area)? Thanks for your great tips! I am sold on this swing and can't wait for the start of the golf season.
Hi Jeff, I do not yet have instructors in that area. My online instruction allows you to work with me through video analysis, and gives you access to my entire learning program. setup4impact.com
Really trying to absorb all this, Kirk!
Hi Kirk, greetings from the UK. May I congratulate you on your excellent instruction. I tried the system on the range and golf course this week and saw a great improvement on my ball striking and consistancy. As a 58 year old, with back problems etc, the method seems less stressful on my joints. Many thanks for all your tips. Do you have any coaches in the UK?
Hi Andrew, Glad to have helped you. I do not yet have an instructor there but hope to in the future.
Recently been tryin to change my swing , and I will say these pointers were easy to follow, the ball contact is now dead center as apposed to my old slight off center towards the toe
Great to hear!! Keep it simple.
Great
can u make more driver videos?? also followed your older videos any advice on the driver(right handed) if you tuck in ur elbow to your body? Does it help or hinder it from being straight. trying to figure out consistency on drives. As iron play advise has definitely helped out
Yes, I will do this.
We really need to get you to tour Australia!!!
Good idea!!!
@@Setup4Impact Can I go?
@@OLD-MAN-GOLF-USA If you don’t mind 28. hours on an airplane over two days!!! Not sure I can handle that....lol
I’ll second that , would love to go to one of your golf schools !!
I've got the SRT 8 JumboMax grips in small on my Driver, and Fairway Woods. Just recently found an entire set that I'm about to put on my irons. I'm still playing Taylor Made R-11's I purchased back in 2011 from a pro shop where I was professionally fitted. The Jumbo Max grips are getting hard to find.
I use the ultralites and they are available at jumbomax.com
Hi Kirk, congratulation on your excellent instruction. I do you have one question to ask, that I never heard address in all your videos .. is your club head a little open at the address, thank you.
Hi Al, I try to setup with the clubface close to square.
When will you be back in fla? Love content!
Back now, but in PA next week for a school. In FL most of June and July.
@@Setup4Impact When will you be back in Cincinnati? I’m 30 minutes away and would love a 1 or 3 day school.
Thanks , Kirk. I am getting some success with this setup, particularly the irons. Any fix to get straighter driver shots? Mostly, I am on the right side of the fairway on the rough. Does an open stance with this set-up improve this issue?
It is either going right because of swing path, so an open stance would help that, or an open clubface in which case you would need to adjust your grip to make it a bit stronger.
@@Setup4Impact Thanks, Kirk. This week, in one of my tee shots, I used a 3 wood with an open stance and it did go straight. I will use that for driver and see. Also, can I keep the ball at the heel of the driver as well? What does it do?
I can’t wait to try. I only have one question. Raising the hands doesn’t it modifiy the lie of the club and make it sit more on the toe ?
Hi Kevin, We are only setting up on the same plane you will be on at impact. So if the club fits you at impact that will be the same angle with this swing. If the club does not fit your current swing, it also will not fit this swing.
@@Setup4Impact thx for your reply !
Would one have to get custom fit for clubs more than once like shaft flex if he or she increases speed? Thank you.
Normally one time being fit is all you will ever need. It would be very rare for someone to gain so much speed as to need a new fitting.
Hi Kirk
When I try to move my legs and hips faster, it seems to throw my arms out and I swing over the top. Maybe my arms and lower body are too much in sync and I should hesitate my upper body a little and let the lower body lead?
Perfect Drill 1 first as well as the leading and trailing arm versions.
Is the Graves golf alignment and ball position trainer still helpful for this or do you more so set up naturally?
For me the stance trainer is promoting too wide of a stance. So it did not help me. I prefer to practice lining up on the range without help as much as possible as on the golf course I also cannot use training aids.
Can taping your left wrist, or putting a small shim in your golf glove help train you to keep your left wrist uncocked?
Hi Charlie, I do not want to keep the left wrist uncocked. It starts uncocked, then cocks in the backswing and returns uncocked through impact. You should not have to think about cocking it on the backswing and it will always return through an uncocked position for impact.
WOW!! Just extend arms like Bryson. And swing. Let the body follow. OMG. This is Bryson speed Secret.
I ,like James before me wrote, tried the Moe Norman method via Todd Graves and just could not make it work . I have tried your iteration of the single plane swing and feel very comfortable so far with short shots . It remains to be seen if I can maintain the necessary form for the longer ones. I will contact you if I need help. Thanks for this video
Just have to keep things simple. We are just setting up on our impact plane which makes it easier to swing on a single plane back and through. Get the club face square and the club moving in the right direction and you will hit more great shots.
It seems Kirk that the 1 plane swing has been varied since Moe Norman started it off. I found by looking at other one plane swings i ve had to modify it to suit me. The basics I use, but because I m in my 70 s one size doesn t fit all.???????
LOVE the content Kirk. I can’t wait to try this on the range tomorrow. Quick question. When setting up for impact, am I actively trying to lean the shaft forward at address?
You are aligning the clubshaft in a straight line from the clubhead all the way up through the lead arm to the lead shoulder. Therefore if the ball is further from the target than your lead shoulder there will be forward shaft lean. A wedge will have the most lean, a driver will have the least to maybe none, depending on the ball position...still keeping that straight line. A bit to much forward lean is better than too little or none.

@@OLD-MAN-GOLF-USA thanks so much for the insight. This is something I realized as I was doing shadow swings. My p-wedge had a good amount of shaft lean, whereas the 4 iron not much at all. So I’m focusing on making a straight line with my arm and club head, and that’s it. Anything else that comes is a byproduct of that straight line. Am I’m keeping my lead elbow locked and straight thruout the whole swing?
@@Slapzman Extended but relaxed, not rigid or locked. On the follow through the lead arm will begin to fold with the elbow pointed down as the trail arm begins to straighten and points to the target at parallel to the ground.

You set the club with un-cock position to simulate the impact position. However, it gets cocked thru the back swing (for full swing) until the club is horizontal or closer to the ball in the forward swing. It gets un-cocked at impact and thru until it gets cocked again at finish. The reason why I am asking is that with that grip and un-cock hand, it is difficult to cock the wrist in the back swing (for full swing). If it is hip level shots then it is OK. But, for driver and full swing, it is very difficult. Any fix?
In 25 years teaching this I have never had someone that had trouble cocking the wrists. They are uncocked at setup but relaxed. So just take it back like normal.
1st time viewer but always interested in single plane. Does the lie angle have to be raised to compensate for the higher hands/ flattening the wrists? Thanks
No, because the plane at impact is the same either way. Conventionally you have low hands at setup and high hands through impact. I have high hands (wrists uncocked) for both.
Kirk, quick question for you.
Are you lining the ball up more to the heel of the club at setup?
I do this for most full swings as the shaft is bent down at impact making the club a bit shorter if measured from grip to sweet spot.
@@Setup4Impact thank you for the explanation... Great videos
does the club head being behind the grip have anything to do with your grip on the club?
I set my grip based on where the club needs to be at impact. So the hands are leading through impact and I need the grip to fit so that they clubface is square through impact. My complete learning program is available at setup4impact.com/online/
Kirk, If I use a slightY strong grip with my top hand. Wouldn’t that rotate the club face?
Not if you release at the right time. Release early with any grip and the club will rotate.
My start the downswing thought is to pull the butt of the club at the bottom of the ball and on through with loose hands, no roll, flip, hold on block, nothing. Do you have an aiming point for your hand path or what do you focus on in the downswing?
I am focused on making contact with the ground starting at the ball. I picture the club just scraping the ground there. I like your loose hands thought.
Thanks Kirk. I have been experimenting with not releasing the club on short pitch and chip shots. I just keep the cup in my trail wrist. Those have always been a problem for me, I get fat or thin hits. It seems to be an improvement. @@Setup4Impact
When I start m y back swing I extend my arms as much I think I should: but on my down swing very often my arms tend to shrink(if u know what I mean) which creates a push slice as I hit the ball. How can I stop myself from shorting my arms causing me to slice.
You slice because the clubface is open at impact. So using a stronger grip would fix that.
@Kirk Junge that's partly correct. But when I ensure to maintain the stretch by taking the club lower and slower, not always, I hit the ball straighter but with a pull down swing creating another problem. The pull shot
Wow, i’ve been trying to find a swing for my dual bulging disc issues. Currently a 14HC but I’m looking to improve and play in a local league asap.
Does Phoenix,AZ have clinics that teach your Single Plane golf swing
Hi Gary, Not yet.
do you have any instructors in the Dallas area?
Great video, Kirk why does my club face stay at about 3-6 degrees open at impact, i'm coming over the top but why, i've tried to fix my take away (one piece) but something is alluding me?
Hopefully it is a easy fix.
Fix the leading hand grip so that it is a few degrees stronger. For right handed this would have you rotating the left hand a bit away from target (or to the right as you look down)
@@Setup4Impact Thank you, i will try this when they lift the lockdown over here.
👍
Hi, I am new to golf. Does this setup technique work with all clubs or is this only for irons?
Works great for all shots/clubs.
With this swing are you tension free , soft grip, loose arms?
I like that idea. Still have to hold on though at high speeds.
Been trying this out. Driving is good but irons, hybrids and fairway clubs mostly thin or fat shots😢😢
You have to work on impact. I have a system of drills that teaches you how to move properly. Hands have to be leading and this is difficult without drilling the proper move.
Hi Kirk! What size grip is on this club in the video?
Jumbomax ultra lite small. For a discount code for purchasing JumboMax grips use the following link jumbomax.com?ref:kirk or use Coupon code KIRK10 when checking out. For my sizing recommendations visit setup4impact.com/faq/
@@Setup4Impact fantastic! Thank you, maestro.
I don’t know if it’s because I used to watch Todd Graves videos, but my grip is so out of control right now and I don’t know why. I grip it very neutral to weak and I hook the ball still. Then I’ll try to grip it even weaker and miss it right. It just feels so out of balance.
The problem comes from trying to copy someone else's grip which is the worst thing you can do. You need to find out what is neutral for you. Make the grip stronger and see what happens. You are compensating for too weak of a grip by flipping the club closed which is what I see VERY often from those copying Moe.
@@Setup4Impact thanks and will do! I used to have a stronger grip before trying to copy Moe and it feels so strange now
@@NathanIsTheCoolOne i had the same issue i use to have a very strong grip tried to donthebGraves method and switching back was difficult but stuck with it and found a strong hand position and have been striking the ball much better.
What is the website for your golf schools?
setup4impact.com
curious. when you set the club behind (2 inches) the ball, the club face is open to the target (inline with your arm) and will be square at impact. Correct? When I tried single plan swing, I was keeping the face square to the target and the ball was going left.
I don't really think about that. It is where the clubface is at impact that counts. So if your clubface is a bit closed at impact I would not setup with it closed, etc....
Kirk what is the butt end diameter size of your JumboMax grips?
You will find sizes on the Jumbomax website. I use size small in the jumbomax ultralites. I do not know of any other company making grips this big. My sizing info is at setup4impact.com/faq/
@@Setup4Impact Thank you Kirk
Where’s the power come from?
Same as in every golf swing. Bryson DeChambeau sets up as I teach.
I believe in the single plane swing. However, Bryson Dechambeau's back nine, round 4, US Open meltdown shows this is a hard game no matter how you swing the golf club.
It sure is!!!!
Kirk you have a great single plane system and you should stop comparing, naming or downsizing Moe Norman swing! You don't have to negate any teaching method when you have a good system like yours. Please stop comparing with Moe!!!
I get asked everyday if this is the Moe Norman golf swing and I learned a lot from Moe. I have helped hundreds of people convert from an ineffective Moe golf swing to one where they hit the ball longer, straighter and with less pain. It is my goal to help as many people as possible enjoy the game of golf even if they get it from me for free. I just love to help.
I’m one of those that went down the rabbit hole.
I have helped a lot of people get out of that hole. It only took me ten years or so...
My golf balls care which club I hit them with. They care so much they hide in the woods so I cannot hit them again!
why do you keep critisizing Moe Normans swing ? He was a great golfer with his method. Teach your method and see how many great golfers you produce
Moe had an incredible swing which worked very well for him. Unfortunately it cannot be learned exactly as he did. Proof of this is that in 25 years of trying not one single person has replicated his results. I taught his swing for more than 15 years and while some did improve, nobody came close to what he could do. Until I made adjustments to fit each individual golfer. So using what I learned from Moe along with many other sources I have found the easiest way for people to quickly improve their golf games. Moe was an incredible player up in Canada and is in the hall of fame up there.
He teaches a Moe Norman variation! He is not criticizing Moe's swing... he criticizes the schools that teach a strict version of the single plane that doesn't allow for it to be personalized. Watch a few more videos.
@@lincoln3x7 Thanks Lincoln...I learned a lot from Moe!!! He would always answer my questions and even told me to find my own swing like he did.
I must have ADHD because I can't stand videos where the person talks for the first 5 minutes about unrelated subjects... click my channel, thumbs up, blah, blah, go to this golf shop, blah, blah.. shaft, grips...blah, blah... just show the single plane swing and explain it!
Sorry Rich, I try to keep it short in the beginning, but UA-cam is a Free channel and if you do not ask people to subscribe or give a thumbs up then most will not. It helps me and my channel and I feel it is not too much to ask for sharing free content.
This Guy talked for such a long time and I fell asleep. PRACTICE is the ONLY WAY TO GET BETTER.. NOT Calloway Balls and Thousand dollar Drivers LOL
Hope you at least slept well!!!
