Remember The Hogan/Trevino Down Swing Bump? You’ve Got It With The Pivot Drill

Leave a reply

I’m editing video and have reached the part where the pivot drill shows how to properly transition from the top to the down swing – do you remember my post on how all of the Modern Golf Swing players are trying to replicate the Hogan/Trevino down swing “bump” but can’t?

Well, you’ll have it with the pivot drills I’ve devised to get you swinging with ease – in fact, while watching the down swing “bump” transition in my pivot drills – even while I was shooting that part, as a matter of fact, all I could see in my head was the difference between doing it properly and utterly failing.

Hot Take – Golf “Systems” & “Packages” Are Scamming You

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.

Observations On The Pivot Drills – Hip & Leg Action

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 →

Setup, Balance & Pivot – The Three Keys To Swinging

Those are the three keys to good swinging when it comes to any sport, to be honest.  You are taught a setup and a swinging technique in cricket and baseball and it should be the same for golf.

In any other sport, in fact, you have standardized technique. Take any sport and, if virtually every place where training takes place, you’ll find the same mechanics being taught.

It’s Not About Being “Flexible,” It’s About A Proper Pivot

One thing I’m always hearing when it comes to golf and golfers is that one needs to be very flexible to make a proper pivot.

That’s all bunk – sure, there are long drivers and professional golfers who have a good deal more flexibility than the average person, but making a pivot to swing a golf club doesn’t require that.

Coming In September – “MCS – The Power Of The Pivot” – What The Progressive Drills Will Do For You

I’ve been working on the progressive pivot exercises that are designed to teach the mechanically-correct pivot action, but I’ve been fiddling with them for the past weeks to try to get all of the concepts I feel are crucial for an optimal golf swing.

I have actually laughed out loud at times while doing them, because I keep thinking about Tai-Chi when I start doing the down swing pivot exercises.

The Closest Swing I Have Yet To Optimal (MCS Setup & Pivot)

I have been holding off the swing part of the upcoming video since I completed the pivot exercise phase because I want to showcase exactly how the model and pivot work with the proper setup.

I went looking through my archives and found a day in October 2022 where my setup was nearly exactly what I would say is optimal face-on, and exactly how I would want to see it down the line, and today I’ll show the face-on.

The Setup & The Pivot – I Wish I’d Thought Of This Sooner…

It may just be a natural progression or evolution of concepts, but I’ve spent a great deal of time over the years talking about the setup with the “Leaning A” stance and the proper ball position.

I have even said that the setup is most of the golf swing – get that right and you’re 90% of the way there, correct?

I’ve Made One Change To The MCS Classic Golf Swing Setup

It’s not a major one, but I can’t ignore that my foot setup has changed from the one I had when I developed the MCS Classic Golf Swing model.

It isn’t one that would be a make-or-break situation in the model, but it is one that I feel makes the model optimal as opposed to very close to it.

MCS Swinging – It’s About Quiet Motion & Not “Turning”

What I gleaned from having my kids try the Classic Golf Swing pivot is that there is too much motion when people try to pivot.

Whether it’s lateral motion of the head, upper torso or the hips, it’s too much motion, because a mechanically-correct pivot action using the hips and legs should be quiet.
