I’ve talked before about the tempo of the golf swing (the difference between the time of the back swing vs the down swing from the top to impact), which is different from how fast one swing (time from beginning the takeaway to impact).
It seems to me that Tiger Woods is actually off on both counts, from my cursory examination.
It may be counter-intuitive, but the more leveraged you are in your swing model, the less effort you will feel even when swinging full out.
In fact, if you don’t have a ball to hit and just swing your club, it will feel like there’s not much power at all in your swing – but this is a good thing!
I kid you not.
I was watching the CBS broadcast of the Honda Classic yesterday and two separate WAX Golfers emailed me on something that I had also noticed – you can not put anything past my sharp-eyed readers!
I don’t think I have too much that I have to add to the gif. swings I’ve made for this posting, of Tiger Woods at the Farmer Insurance Open last weekend.
For some reason, I’ve been having a devil of a time finding clips of TW from certain angles, as they mostly seem to be down the line views or up the line from down the fairway.
Thanks to everyone for your feedback and compliments on the new eBook “The MCS Golf Swing,” everyone!
Now that we have everything in place for the 2018 season with regards to the study material on the MCS Golf Swing, I have just one thing to discuss with everyone who is working on their MCS swings.
And that is something to encourage everyone working on their own MCS Golf Swing models – even I haven’t yet tapped the full potential of the model I’ve developed between 2014 and now.
I have talked before about how you get a lot of Modern Golf Swing players diving into the down swing, and I’ve alternately called it the “Harpoon” move (that phrase is not mine, but that of Mike Austin’s).
You also hear it talked about on TV as the “head drop,” and this is the funniest part of what I watch & listen to on television – when Tiger Woods was the best in the world, the same drop kept coming up in a positive way.
If you’re looking to see how much power and speed you can generate when you get a proper down swing release action from the “3 To 9” phase, John Daly is still an all-time example.
Simply, his swing is awful.
And I have reached a personal milestone in that I had nothing of interest to say about the run-up to this week where before, I would have written a couple of posts about TW.
If there is anything you take out of the MCS Golf Swing theory (and hopefully, it won’t be just one thing), I can’t over-state the importance of the Primary Lever in building your leveraged golf swing.
Everything else in the MCS theory, from the stance, grip and ball position (also known as the Fundamentals Trifecta in these here parts) is designed to allow you to maximize your use of the Primary Lever.
