MCS Gold – Archive Swings Exactly How I Would Swing Today

I’ve been searching through my fairly large swing archive from between 2015-2022 and have found some archived swings from 2022 that are pretty much how I would be telling people to swing with the MCS Golf Swing model.

The years of 2023-25 consisted mostly of my investigating just about every variation of the swing with regards to grip, stance and mechanics, but as I have said, I basically had the MCS swing model figured out by 2015 and, aside from my personal journey to swing like this model, there has been very little change in said model over the years.

Charley Hull Doesn’t Watch Modern Golf On TV

The only thing I would add to Charley Hull’s comments on Modern Golf are that the Modern Golf Swing itself is also a reason to not watch golf on television today.

You all know my views on it – I rarely if ever watch golf on television these days, aside from the odd final round of interest, such as Rory at the Masters last April.

New Concepts In The Upcoming MCS Video

My only disappointment with the upcoming video will be that I couldn’t actually get out there this season to make new video clips, due to my left shoulder issues that are still plaguing me after four months.

Barring that, I am excited about this project because, although my swing model was essentially created between 2015-17 (notice I haven’t even made a swing video since 2018), the years since have allowed me to refine and conceptualize the model, so there really is no great need for new swing clips.

Why No One Can Swing Like Ben Hogan

There is no one out there, no matter what they tell you, who swings like Ben Hogan.

There is an entire cottage industry built around “swing like Ben Hogan,” and every one of the claims is either an outright fraud or a complete misunderstanding of how the man swung.

The MCS Swing Model Uses Hogan’s “Perfect Pivot” (Rear View)

You’ve seen lots of face-on clips of the golf swing, but not as many rear views, I would wager.

I talk a good bit about Ben Hogan’s “Perfect Pivot” action, and here is how you can identify it when you view a golf swing from the rear angle.

There are 3 things that one requires to have a similar action.

Hogan’s Pivot – Modern Golf Swing Errors & Why You Shouldn’t Swing Like Hogan

I’ve said many times that Ben Hogan had the “Perfect Pivot” action when it comes to the actual pivot mechanics, but that one shouldn’t try to copy his actual swing.

Here is why – the way Hogan swung is a way he found able to repeat, but he also had to hit balls every day to maintain his precision.

The Left Arm Leverage Drop – Down The Line

I forgot to mention in yesterday’s post that John Daly used this left arm swing drill before playing every round when he was on Tour.

He wasn’t the type to warm up hitting dozens of balls with different clubs – he would get the feel of his swing for the day hitting a few wedges swinging left-arm only, and then head for the 1st tee.

Effortless Leverage & The Gravity Drop

I’ve written quite a bit recently about the ills of the new “Turn & Swipe” memes that have been appearing in golf swing videos, and here is the problem when you compare that nonsense to the proper mechanical action of the Classic Golf Swing.

Below, I’ve created some gifs to show the difference and, in essence, how easy it is to generate leverage and also use gravity when swinging with the pivot action of the Classic Golf Swing, using only my left arm.

“The Kinesiology of The MCS Golf Swing” Uses “The Perfect Pivot” With “The Kinetic Chain” To “Drop The Hammer” With “Ultimate Leverage”… The Formula Is “E = MCS”

Saturday musings – quite a mouthful, but all I’ve done in the title is use the titles of previous MCS Golf Swing videos post-2014.

The themes contained within the titles are still relevant, I might add – in fact, ever more so, and I’ll explain.

There’s Too Much Bad Golf Online – I Can’t Fight It

Update: I will be listing any online swing instructors that people alert me to at the bottom of the posting /update

I took some time off blogging, as you’ve obviously noticed, and it wasn’t just that I’ve been spending summer time with the family during the school break.

I also just got so sick and tired of going through golf content online that I can no longer do it for the purposes of pointing out nonsense and garbage swing mechanics.
