While attempting to finish this video in a timely manner (I thought at the beginning of August that it would be completed in the next two to three weeks), I am more concerned with getting it exactly the way I think it needs to be for simplicity’s sake.
The problem I have run into is that, although the pivot drills are pretty basic (at least, I hope so), the explanations are more complicated than one would think.
You may have noticed that I haven’t been posting much in the past week – it is not only the video work, but end of summer stuff (three kids in high school and college) has taken up a good deal of time.
That said, I’m in the final edits stage and getting in as much work as I can with the hectic back to school activities and spending time with family before everyone scatters in September.
If this guy gives lessons or sells a “system,” anyone coming down with a back or leading knee injury should sue his pants off, because he is committing the most blatant fraud I have yet to see regarding Ben Hogan and the golf swing that I have recently seen.
It’s absolutely unbelievable what people will say and do and attach “Ben Hogan” to whatever idiocy they are submitting, and I can’t have this pass through my Instagram feed without comment.
I received an email a while back from someone interested in the MCS Golf Swing, and the question they asked me was, did I have a “system” available that they could sign up for to learn it.
My first thought was, “why on earth would I have a ‘system’ for learning the golf swing?”
I mean, I’ve had private member sections in the past, where people could join, but it wasn’t to actually learn the MCS Golf Swing – everything one needs to learn it is in any one of my videos.
I am saddened to report that longtime WAX Nation citizen David D. has passed away this summer at the age of 83.
Those of you who have been around for more than ten years will remember that we collaborated on a video together, “MCS – Dropping The Hammer” back in the autumn of 2016 and that he featured regularly both in the comments section as doubou2014 and in my time spent at the driving range filming content.
You read that correctly – IF people listen and pay attention to how the progressive pivot drills work and how they illustrate exactly how the body is built to move with regards to a golf swing, they can prove that the optimal Classic Golf Swing motion is the way to swing.
They would also destroy the Modern Golf Swing nonsense forever – until the next time people decide to reinvent the wheel and proceed to forget how the body is built to move.
The most complicated part of a simple golf swing motion would likely be the transition into the down swing, and I would hazard this guess because of our inclination to “hit” from the top of the back pivot.
One of the things that really excited me about the pivot drills I’ve implemented for the upcoming video “MCS – The Power Of The Pivot” was that I believe I’ve found a simple explanation and demonstration of this transition.
I just found out that the podcast interview with Josh Karp, if you go to the YouTube version, has an extra 30 minutes of content in it.
When the podcast aired, I figured that some of the interview would end up on the cutting room floor, which is not a problem at all – if you have a certain time frame to work with, you record more than that time of course so that you can trim it to the desired length.
The podcast interview I had with journalist and author Josh Karp, now at the Golf Smarter Podcast, has finally dropped. It was delayed because it was supposed to air on a different platform, but following our interview on Halloween last year, he made a move.
He’s now hosting at Golf Smarter, having replaced the retiring Fred Greene – with whom I had a podcast interview back in 2019 – and our interview is now available.
I said a while back that I had completed my swing research (which is only as long as something doesn’t come up which I want to investigate, but I’ve checked virtually everything that can be, in my estimation), so the fun I’ve been having lately has to do with the pivot drills for the upcoming video “MCs – The Power Of The Pivot.”
There are some revelations that have served to simplify the swing even to myself, which was a pleasant surprise since I thought the MCS pivot action was a simple as it could get. Continue reading
