It’s amazing that the idea of the fixed fulcrum has gone away with the Modern Golf Swing, which is a large part of the reason that people struggle to gain consistency in their ball-striking.
I’ve made the analogy of sitting in a chair and throwing darts at a board, compared to trying to achieve the same consistency throwing darts at a board while someone pushes and pulls the chair sideways.
So great to be back swinging again, if only just practice swings at home with the Momentus Heavy Iron that I am using right now indoors.
I am not going to say I’ve cracked the Mike Dunaway model until I have actually swung and hit balls with it, but from what I am doing now, I believe I have.
It is a beautiful thing – I actually said to myself on the last swing before sitting down at the computer, “the man was a human Iron Byron with this swing…”
It doesn’t matter that the swing action most people associate with Moe Norman is the quirky, arm-out half-swing from his later years.
He had a more traditional-looking swing when he made his name in the game of golf, winning 2 Canadian Amateur titles which then earned him a berth at the Masters two years running in the 1950s.
This is the concept that the Iron Byron uses, or any other hitting or swinging machine.
The Iron Byron does not “swing at the ball,” rather it just swings the club attached to its arm and the ball simply gets in the way.
