When you think about it, the Mike Dunaway-style golf swing still does have a free and full hip turn, but it doesn’t look anything like your typical “Classic Golf Swing” model.

I mean, if someone were to ask me to demonstrate a Classic Golf Swing, I would hardly rack up Dunaway’s model, would I?

And it is definitely not a Modern Golf Swing model, because of the hip and leg action and the lack of a lower back twist.

His earliest swing model that we have seen, from Sybervision, is more Classic model:

That model is more like the Late Hogan model, which still utilized a Shift & Post hip and leg action but still very closely resembles your familiar Classic Golf Swing.

I’m talking about this model here:

Considering that it has only really been performed by Mike Dunaway (yes, Ben Hogan in his Late swing model and some others had the same pivot action but more in the Classic Golf Swing style in their execution), the next person we see swinging in this manner will be the first since him.

I think a good name for it would be “Post-Modern,” since – if I am correct in my analysis and modeling at the moment – it may be the first golf swing model to be practiced widely since the arrival of the Modern Golf Swing sometime around 1990.

I am not forgetting the Stack & Tilt swing model or any of its imitators, because it is not a mechanically-sound model, and so doesn’t merit inclusion in a separate category from the Modern Golf Swing models which are also mechanically unsound.

Just a thought.

On another note, I am baffled when I re-watch the Austin and Dunaway swing videos, because it doesn’t take a multi-hour presentation to teach this swing motion.

You have the following:

• Grip
• Setup
• Pivot Action
• Down Swing Transition
• Impact (or the Swing Bottom) and the Finish

That goes for my former videos as well – I have made a commitment that in any future video projects, I might not be a brutally succinct as I am in “The Basics Of The MCS Golf Swing,” which lay out how to perform that transitional Shift & Post pivot of the “Late Hogan” pivot action in a Classic Golf Swing, but then again, I can’t think of anything I have left out that would have made it longer, other than needlessly repeating things and going off on tangents.

I think people tend to fall into the trap of, “more gives greater value,” when in actuality, the most important parts of videos are sandwiched in between needless points and blather that I now feel distract from the purpose at hand – presenting the material the way a textbook would, and to which one refer as many times as one wishes or needs to.
