I do believe I’ve had a clip of this particular fellow up just this past summer, but I don’t want to bother to confirm it, because these people are better remaining nameless to me.
However, before you even watch this horror show, you’ll be interested no doubt to know that this gent has an online teaching business that he runs out of Scottsdale AZ, because why not?
This will likely be the major theme of the upcoming MCS Golf Swing video.
We all know that there are many different ways to swing a golf club, from the optimal motion to everything in between that and “dead wrong.”
Unfortunately for the golfing world at this moment, the Modern Golf Swing with the traditional lower back twist and restricted hip turn is “dead wrong.”
I cannot even think of a worse way to swing than in this manner. Continue reading
Both Jack Nicklaus and Ben Hogan had a setup that was considered “the same for all clubs,” and that is the way you want to swing as well.
I’ve been saying forever now that you want to setup more like Nicklaus did (I don’t think he invented the setup, but as the G.O.A.T., we’ll just call it the “Nicklaus” setup), and that you want Hogan’s pivot action.
One of these days, the sports world will look back on golf at the dawn of the 21st century and recoil in both horror and disbelief.
The amount of ineptitude on display has been, is and will continue to be staggering until the game finally takes the Modern Golf Swing out behind the barn and finishes it off like the lame plough horse it is (and is making out of physically-fit golfers).
I will tell you all right now, that any golf coach, instructor or analyst who says what the post title says, has no business being anywhere near a golf course, driving range or launch monitor facility.
Before I continue this… well, let’s call it a rant, you all might have heard that Tiger Woods has undergone yet another back surgery, this one his 7th since he hooked up with Sean Foley back in 2010. Just saying…
There is an advantage to being cross-dominant as I am, I suppose, when it comes to figuring out the “feels” for swinging either left or right-dominant, but it took me a while to realize it.
I have actually been doing it unconsciously for some time, but now that it has hit me, I’ve been working on how to best describe the feeling for both dominants in my upcoming video and, of course, the neutral swingers will feel both of them, as they aren’t thinking of one arm over the other.
I just saw a mind-boggling stat comparison between Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods that, for me, ends the debate of who is the G.O.A.T.
I’m not saying who is anyone’s favorite, or who is the most exciting player of all time – I am talking simple career stats comparisons in professional tournament performances.

It boggles my mind that Jason Zuback, in the early 2000’s, was around 200 mph in ball speed (Ryan Winther now holds the official record in ball speed at around 227 mph and an unofficial mark of 237 mph).
*Edit – as of today, the current world record holder in ball speed is Sebastian Twaddell, Golf Ball Speed Record Holder 2025 – 246.8 mph (Trackman).
That’s because I have actually gotten into the mid-190’s in my 40’s without having to live in the gym because of technique over muscle power, but one thing I can tell you – the clip below puts the Modern Golf Swing industry to shame.
The old-timers here will know very well of my forays into studying left and right-dominant swinging – it came about because I discovered back in 2022 that I was swinging left-dominant, and how it had caused several problems with consistency.
They’ll all remember as well my trip down the right-dominant rabbit hole, looking at Mike Dunaway’s swing model, which is the most powerful swing I’ve ever seen, mechanically.
