It All Begins & Ends With The Grip (Critical)

How critical is it?

Let me tell you all how critical it is – I essentially completed my swing research could have perfected my own golf swing research in 2015-16 if only I had taken the care to look at and correct my own grip.

Rory McIlroy Is 36 Years Old (Back Injury)

I wasn’t aware of this development until The Welshman sent me a message about it yesterday, but my response to him was, “it was only a matter of time, the way he twists his lower back…”

That development was a long-expected one for me, because even while Rory McIlroy has at times embraced the notion of not nailing his leading foot down on the back pivot, he has always insisted on twisting his lower back like a pretzel, and that was never going to end well, unfortunately.

Can You See The “Swing Point” or “Fulcrum?”

It is counter-intuitive to think, if you’re not used to the concept, that you swing from something other than your arms, but that is reality.

The arms are the only links to the club, of course, but they arms are swinging from the shoulders, and the mid-point of the shoulders is really the point around which the swing turns.

Re-Started The Video – I Wasn’t Satisfied (Here’s Why)

I took a look at what I had completed with the new video, after I recovered from my flu and things settled down with the holidays, and I just wasn’t happy – I am simply a bit of a perfectionist at the worst of times.

What I found was that much of the explanation portion of the previous videos wasn’t what I want to say NOW about the golf swing, and searching through endless previous footage of the tutorials was ending with my having to “make do” with things that I thought or felt I would explain differently were I to actually shoot a new video.

MCS Does What Hogan Said To Do… (Hand Action)

I had made this gif. from the found raw video tutorials I had unearthed last month but was feeling too ill to write a post about it.

Today is a little better, so I wanted to share what was watching and listening to, and how it mirrors Ben Hogan’s hand action drill nearly exactly.

YouTube Pro Says “Why Overloading Your Lead Leg Is Bad… So Watch Me Do That…”

I’ve run across this account before and have just shaken my head over the stuff I see being peddled by a guy that could be me – older, grey beard and still swinging.

I can offer one redeeming factor in this channel, and it’s that this silver gent actually performs a Classic Golf Swing pivot with the lifting lead heel, which is the only reason he’s still able to swing hard at that age.

Watch This Fraud Teaching People How To Slice/Pull

There’s no other word I can come up with to describe what I just watched.

An absolute fraud, and I’ll show you what I’m talking about.

If you watch the one-handed swing, this dude is pulling the club way outside-in and hard across the line to the left.

Adding A Segment On The “Nicklaus” Grip (MCS Video)

Part of the reason this project is taking so long to complete is that I am still looking at things while I’m putting all of the components together.

I have in the past couple of days spent a good deal of time looking at the grip instruction in my previous videos, and finding them OK for showing the “standard neutral grip” that I have always advocated, but there’s something else I want to offer.

The Left-Arm Swing Action (To Go With Yesterday’s Right)

Here is the corresponding one-armed swing action to go with yesterday’s right-arm motion.

Again, you see that, with a stable swing-point, you take out a large degree of risk of mis-hitting the ball with a proper motion.

The Right-Arm Swing

I have been going through the raw video footage from past projects which I discovered on an old hard drive packed away in my storage, and found yet another gem that I would definitely have included if I had shot a brand new video last summer.

As you all know, the only reason I didn’t was because I developed a mysterious and chronic pain in my left shoulder around March (I wasn’t even swinging at the time), which I discovered when I went to swing my training aid after a couple or few days off.
