Get “MCS Short Game” & “Basics Of The MCS Golf Swing” Combo – Over 20% Savings

Leave a reply

We’re getting into the outdoor season now in these parts and I am offering a combo package with a reduced price savings of over 20% for those who want to kick the season off with both the “MCS – The Short Game” and the newly-released “The Basics Of The MCS Golf Swing” videos.

I have actually recommended in the past to download the “MCS – The Short Game” video for people who are new to swinging with the mechanically-correct Classic Golf Swing action over the fatally flawed Modern Golf Swing models.

Shorter Back Swing, Flatter Top Position Can = Increased Power

2 Replies

This is my latest line of inquiry.

It may seem counterintuitive, but that is actually true – a shorter back swing with a flatter top position CAN mean increased power translating into club head impact speed because of simple physics.

We tend to think that a longer back swing with the club going past parallel is the best way to increase club speed, but that isn’t always what happens.

We’re At A Crossroads, WAX Nation – Whither Next?

Leave a reply

I have said for years that there were two different mechanically-correct pivot actions – the traditional Classic Golf Swing with the rotary hip turn and lifting leading heel, and the second, what I am now calling the “Shift & Post” based upon having called it that when talking about Mike Dunaway.

Now that I have isolated and can replicate and explain the “Shift &  Post” pivot action, I am wondering where we go from here.

Nearly 20 Years Ago – A Version Of The “Shift & Post” Action

Leave a reply

I am solving some of my previous “mysteries” regarding the golf swing and pivoting now that I’ve been able to identify, isolate and deliberately perform the “Shift & Post” action which I had previously performed without knowing it.

Going all the way back to 2007, nearly 20 years ago – I have a whole VHS videotape cassette in my bedroom closet, and an old VCR that is missing a remote control, which contains golf swings of mine from 2006 going through 2008.

Josh Karp Podcast Update – Coming Soon

2 Replies

You’ll remember I participated in a podcast interview last October with Josh Karp, who coincidentally is also going to be taking over the Golf Smarter podcast from a retiring Fred Green – I was on the Golf Smarter podcast back in 2019.

I heard from Josh last week, who advised me that he has compiled 20 podcast episodes, one of which is the one we did for The Golfer’s Journal, and he hopes to have a date soon for the airing.

It’s Official – The “Late Hogan” Pivot Is A “Shift & Post” Pivot

2 Replies

I’ve been thinking that the “Late Hogan” pivot action needs a better name and, after investigating the similarities between that pivot and Mike Dunaway’s, I can confirm that the proper pivot action is a “Shift & Post” pivot.

You may think, “they don’t look anything alike,” and you’d be correct – they look different at a glance because of the differences between Ben Hogan’s and Mike Dunaway’s setups, and also their overall swing actions.

Great Ben Hogan Face-On Look (The “Leaning A” Setup)

2 Replies

The main reason I didn’t choose Ben Hogan’s swing for the MCS model is that he was a feel swinger who practiced endlessly, and so his setup would vary almost day to day – he would get the feel of how he was swinging on a particular day and go with it.

That’s not going to breed consistency – Hogan could do so because he hit balls every day, every single day, when he wasn’t actually playing.  Most of us can’t do that, and even if we could, we can simply avoid having to by building a consistent and repeatable setup over the ball.

“Late Hogan” On The PGA Tour? Jake Knapp Has “The Pivot”

Leave a reply

You’ll all remember my saying that Jack Knapp was “so close” to having a perfect swing? 

Well, I haven’t looked at his swing in a year, and it was before I noticed that I had swung with the same pivot as the one Ben Hogan used late in his career, and something made me go back to what I’d posted about him and how easy he generated power.

On “The Basics” Video – Watch It Multiple Times For Max Benefit

Leave a reply

First note – thanks to all WAX Nation members who have supported the cause by downloading the video!

I didn’t state this in the video “The Basics Of The MCS Golf Swing,” but I have experienced this situation in the past when discussing swing mechanics with people who have watched my MCS videos – you want to watch any instructional video multiple times.

There is simply no way you can watch a video with technical content only once and hope to retain everything.

Another Mystery Solved By The Pivot – Hogan’s Flatter Plane

8 Replies

Something I noticed instantly when I began to make practice back pivots, now that my shoulder is improving enough to do so, was the much flatter plane I have at the top compared to my previous, more typically Classic pivot style.

I began to look into it, wondering why I didn’t have much higher hands at the top the way I used to, a la Jack Nicklaus, but the flatter plane is actually a feature of the “Late Hogan” pivot action.
