It is surreal sitting down at the keyboard to share my thoughts at this time, as there are far more serious issues at hand worldwide.
However, sometimes doing the normal thing can bring a little respite from the storm and I’ve had my fill today of looking at numbers, graphs and projections. How about a little swing talk?
Part I Of A Series
I said in my last post that I would call the MCS model based on the “shift-and-post” swing model pioneered by Mike Austin the “Dunaway” only because the model I built looks exactly like how Dunaway swung and not Austin.
As I said before, this would be an MCS swing model using the principles of the “shift-and-post” mechanical swing model pioneered by Mike Dunaway.
If anyone wants to ask why, since they were both based upon the same principles, it’s not based on Mike Austin’s (who was Dunaway’s mentor we all know), it’s because it looks like Mike Dunaway’s and not Mike Austin’s.
It’s going to take a couple of weeks to get back up to speed and some semblance of normality here, having been away for over four months, but I’m back, WAX Nation!
I was planning to get back in a couple to a few more weeks but with the coronavirus shutdown, I find myself with the time now rather than later to get back to things.
Thanks again to A.H. for sending me these two angles of Mike Dunaway hitting a modern driver back around 2011.
I had always wondered what Dunaway or his mentor Mike Austin would have looked like hitting the modern drivers with the longer and flatter-lie graphite shafts, and here is big Mike D.
Now, Mike Trout is a professional baseball player and he hits a prodigious ball in his own sport, but come on, Modern Golf Swing proponents.
180 mph ball speed from a guy likely using a borrowed metal-wood (it wasn’t a driver), and in street shoes, while barely turning a hair?
