I Finally Agree With Tiger Woods – Again (Don’t Watch YouTube)

I first agreed with Tiger Woods when he was asked who the G.O.A.T. was – his blunt and direct answer was, “Nicklaus – I’m four majors (then, now three) behind him.”

You have to understand that I don’t have any sort of hatred for TW – I simply abhor the way he has swung from when he was an amateur, because the Modern Golf Swing is garbage.

I consider him the greatest victim of all time (of bogus swing instruction), but at a certain point, he should have begun to look into a more mechanically-sound way of swinging.

What Happens When You Don’t Transfer Weight (Horror Show & This Guy TEACHES)

I do believe I’ve had a clip of this particular fellow up just this past summer, but I don’t want to bother to confirm it, because these people are better remaining nameless to me.

However, before you even watch this horror show, you’ll be interested no doubt to know that this gent has an online teaching business that he runs out of Scottsdale AZ, because why not?

The Weight Transfer Is The Fuel For The Golf Swing Engine

This will likely be the major theme of the upcoming MCS Golf Swing video.

We all know that there are many different ways to swing a golf club, from the optimal motion to everything in between that and “dead wrong.”

Unfortunately for the golfing world at this moment, the Modern Golf Swing with the traditional lower back twist and restricted hip turn is “dead wrong.”

I cannot even think of a worse way to swing than in this manner.  Continue reading →

One Setup, One Swing – Nicklaus + Hogan = MCS Swing Video

Both Jack Nicklaus and Ben Hogan had a setup that was considered “the same for all clubs,” and that is the way you want to swing as well.

I’ve been saying forever now that you want to setup more like Nicklaus did (I don’t think he invented the setup, but as the G.O.A.T., we’ll just call it the “Nicklaus” setup), and that you want Hogan’s pivot action.

Disgraceful Lack Of Competency From A Sports Injury “Expert” & Tiger’s Running Out of Spine

One of these days, the sports world will look back on golf at the dawn of the 21st century and recoil in both horror and disbelief.

The amount of ineptitude on display has been, is and will continue to be staggering until the game finally takes the Modern Golf Swing out behind the barn and finishes it off like the lame plough horse it is (and is making out of physically-fit golfers).

The Neutral Setup Suits Both Left & Right Dominant (And Neutrals, Of Course)

There is an advantage to being cross-dominant as I am, I suppose, when it comes to figuring out the “feels” for swinging either left or right-dominant, but it took me a while to realize it.

I have actually been doing it unconsciously for some time, but now that it has hit me, I’ve been working on how to best describe the feeling for both dominants in my upcoming video and, of course, the neutral swingers will feel both of them, as they aren’t thinking of one arm over the other.

REAL Sports Science Puts Modern Golf To Shame (8 1/2 Years Ago!)

zuback-6Originally posted February 24, 2017 – I found this in my archives and nothing has changed in nearly 9 years…

It boggles my mind that Jason Zuback, in the early 2000’s, was around 200 mph in ball speed (Ryan Winther now holds the official record in ball speed at around 227 mph and an unofficial mark of 237 mph).

*Edit – as of today, the current world record holder in ball speed is Sebastian Twaddell, Golf Ball Speed Record Holder 2025 – 246.8 mph (Trackman).

That’s because I have actually gotten into the mid-190’s in my 40’s without having to live in the gym because of technique over muscle power, but one thing I can tell you – the clip below puts the Modern Golf Swing industry to shame.

A New Pivot Concept For The Same Old Pivot?

I am still finding nuggets in my previous swing videos to present in the upcoming video and, to be honest, it’s slow-going because there’s so much in those previous videos that the problem is not what to include, but what to leave out.

It is my goal to make this the simplest video I have ever made, because let’s face it – we’re talking about a golf swing, not rocket science.

Finally – A Young Amateur With A Classic Golf Swing!

I was sent a couple of swings of a young amateur golfer Down Under, and his dad tells me that he played a young lad 9-10 years ago, stopped playing and resumed the game about a year ago.

I have to confirm his exact age, but he’s obviously mid-to-late teens, and I love this swing action.  It’s obviously a Classic Golf Swing, or you wouldn’t be seeing it.

Jack Nicklaus Still Trashing The Modern Golf Swing

Thanks to WAX Golf denizen MC for forwarding the following golf article.

One of the things that has bothered me in the years I’ve been blogging on the golf swing has been the overwhelming silence from the Classic Golf Swing era greats (those still with us) on the Modern Golf Swing.

Sure, Jack Nicklaus trashed the idea of the X-Factor swing in his book “Golf My Way” back in 1974, but that’s 50 years ago.
