I’m reaching the end of working on side issues that have delayed my completion of the upcoming MCS Golf Swing video, so I can confidently say that the video will completed and available next month.
Exactly when next month, I cannot promise, unfortunately – I just know that, unless something unanticipated arises, I’ll have the time to complete the reviewing and compilation of material from the previous videos and my swing archive and get this project done.
As I have said, this will be a distillation of the MCS Golf Swing theory and the best model I’ve determined from years of testing and modeling, and I want it to be the shortest and simplest video I’ve yet put out.
The problem sometimes is that people, including myself, tend to overthink the swing when it is a basic, athletic motion that shouldn’t be so difficult to understand and perform.
The golf industry tends to overcomplicate things and to obsess about minutia, but the complicated part of golf is really in the playing – course management, club selection, shot shape and of course the short game.
The swing itself should be a piece of cake, as many of the Classic Golf Swing era players found it to be.
So, we shall see how correct I am about this, and I can tell you all that I have broken the “Ben Hogan Perfect Pivot” down to be about as easy and simple as it can be.
The MCS Golf Swing is not Ben Hogan’s swing, but the pivot action of the hips and legs is the one to use in the golf swing because of how simple and effective it is.
… when you combine it with the MCS setup, which mirrors that of Jack Nicklaus’ setup:
I had been lamenting this chronic shoulder condition that has left me unable to swing since March, because I had planned to shoot a whole new video with new swing, but to be honest, the only thing about the model that has changed over the years is how well I could personally execute it.
Looking at the swing above and comparing it to Hogan’s pivot above it, I don’t see how I would have been able to do it any better than that – and that was in 2017!
What has really changed is that I have completed my swing research and now have the optimal swing model identified, and which I will present with clips from existing videos and my swing archive, along with fresh and simpler explanations and instructions.
I should be able to get the nose to the grindstone following this week’s business, and I look forward to making this video available to all who have been awaiting it in the coming month.
More to come!
WAX Golf 
Looking forward to it.
while practicing today I was thinking about how I’d teach my brother the MCS
Hearing you describe it as a simple weight transfer and right arm catapult unloading made me think of pitching in baseball
your weight shifts from your legs, your hips and shoulders transfer the force and let the right arm’s catapult go
except in this case the downswing is like throwing a ball into the ground rather than towards the target?
That’s about it, Kaushal!
Looking forward to it 🙂 That Hogan clip is the most beautiful golf swing in existence. You can just feel the energy. I also really like the gif of you demonstrating how simple the pivot is without the club. You just rotate your shoulder in a natural way and allow the hips to respond. No holding back to get a “wind up” as is absurdly taught today.
It may have taken me years to figure out, but once I did, I saw how truly simple and easy the swing can be.
For many, there’s so much to unlearn, which also was a large part of my journey.
As well, watching and listening to modern “instruction” will cause confusion and side-tracking – I spent years trying to “shallow” my down swing plane when there was never a need for it.
So much confus out there.
haha “shallow and squat” the two things that occur naturally in an mcs swing that are made a purposeful teaching…to the peril of all free men!
Don’t forget the third S pillar that puts all at peril, AK – “shallow, squat and swipe.” 😉
There’s a lot of hype around shallowing the club on the downswing to fix contact issues lately – even a blue brick training aid marketed around it
MCS instead simplifies the “what angle should my takeaway and downswing be” question because the shoulder rotation occurs naturally around the C7 pivot, in line with the respective hip & knee
Is this just another natural biomechanic forgotten by modern golf swing, that has been turned into a fad issue and then a product?
In a word – yes.
The shallowing thing comes from the need for them to drop the arms before turning. I call it the turn and swipe. It’s not a real swing, just a series of movements.
Swinging naturally from a proper position allows one to return to impact without micro-management of the actual motion.
Makes a lot of sense thanks
Is dropping the arms to turn and sweep also responsible for the recent push that mid irons are impossible to hit and we should all use hybrids?
Specifically hitting out of fairway rough – that the hybrid is crucial since irons will get caught in rough while hybrids glide pushing grass aside with a sweeping motion
For example, if the ball is buried in rough and you’re comparing a 5h and 5i that both are 25°, would the hybrid sole not actually prevent accessing the ball through the grass?
Even beyond that it feels like hybrids have less predictable launch and spin compared to iron striking, that their forgiveness is that they launch and spin easier than irons on mishits but are less controllable?
You’re probably on the right track. I no longer watch golf but I would wager everything you’re observing is accurate.
