It may seem ridiculous in light of the most recent posting lauding the virtues of the upcoming video, but I have made a decision regarding not only the upcoming video, but other issues that have been long simmering on the back burner.
Unfortunately, I was optimistic about production time, especially as the project has kept evolving, and I have had to make this hard but necessary decision to further delay the video release.
The reasons are several:
My apologies for the time it’s taking to finish this video project, “MCS – The Power Of The Pivot” – here is the thing that’s causing the delays, and it’s not necessarily a bad thing.
I devised the pivot drills last summer when I thought that there might be an easier way to show and teach the optimal pivot action, but something happened along the way.
We’ve already been here, over 3 and a half years ago, when I mentioned that Will Zalatoris was going to miss the rest of the 2023 season following back surgery.
Unfortunately, he is continuing down the Tiger Woods Disaster Track, as he will now miss the entire 2027 following a spinal fusions procedure.
This is nothing new, and this won’t help Will any more than it has Woods.
This short clip of Seve Ballesteros hitting a drive at the Masters, and I had to grab it to show you all how it used to be done, and how it should still be done!
Now, Seve was a self-taught golfer who learned how to swing hitting stones on the beach when he was a lad growing up in Spain, and he was known for his brilliant ball-striking and remarkable short game.
As I’m working through the “MCS – Power Of The Pivot” video for release this month, I am at a point in the swing where I explain how the natural motion of a mechanically-sound golf swing doesn’t require one to “swing left” or to try to pull the club to the inside.
It’s very simple, but the Modern Golf Swing people don’t seem to realize that – they think that Ben Hogan’s “swing left” move was some magical move, when all it was designed to do was let him fade the ball rather than hook it like he was wont to do.
I’m just updating the progress on the video with regards to what’s done and what remains to be done.
Frustratingly, I have had less time to work on the final production due to life’s events intruding – the best laid plans of mice and men, essentially.
I’m sure this is no surprise to long-time WAX Golf members – I have a habit of under-estimating how long the video will take to produce, and the only thing I can use in my defense is that when the videos come out, I am told that they were worth the wait.
