Those of you who’ve been around for a while will remember that I began talking about the Iron Byron having the action that one can emulate with both arms.
I believe the first video in which I did so was in the “Kinesiology Of The MCS Golf Swing” video from the summer of 2015.
I found the video from Mike Dunaway in which he talks about an Impact/Release concept (if you still like and need concepts, they work ’til you don’t need’em!), and it’s very similar to the “Swinging Into A Wall” post from earlier in the month.
So, Uncle JJ mentioned it in the comments, but I couldn’t find it at the time, even though I agreed with him on the similarity.
I have got some good stuff coming when our spring that won’t come finally gets here.
We’ve had no snow on the ground for weeks now but the temperatures stubbornly refuse to climb above freezing, so we hold…
It was back in December, and ironically, it was about how Mike Dunaway produced so much leverage with such a “short” back swing.
The “short” part meant of course that his back swing didn’t produce a club shaft way past parallel or even pointing at the ground the way long drivers have.
And it was a year ahead of its time – the gif. was from a sequence in the “MCS – Dropping The Hammer” video.
It was, as you’ll remember, a “Lesson With DJ” type of video working with friend and long-time WAX Golf reader David D., on the proper mechanics of the “Dunaway Downswing.”
I mentioned in my previous posting how I used to be a very high-trailing-heel impact swinger.
Now, I am a proponent of the low-heel impact, and if you can swing so that it is flat at impact, then you’re really onto something, but that’s also only if you do it properly.
Still under the weather with the flu & luckily have this piece I was saving for a rainy day…
I’ll tell you all what got me to the point where I can emulate Mike Dunaway’s near-perfect down swing leverage and low-heel impact position – it’s the Kettle Bell “One Exercise” that I gave you all in “EMCS2 – The Follow Up” video.
You’ll remember that I talked before the holidays about “Big Legs, Little Arms,” and that this is the key to developing the most efficient leverage for a seemingly effortless swing packed with power.
I just receive this from JM, who has contributed so much to my blogging in the past years, such as the old vintage swing magazine from Jimmy Thomson and who also sent me his SwingRite years ago, the same one you’ve seen in the “E = MCS” and “EMCS2” videos.
First, I have had great feedback from a good many people regarding the Kettle Bell “One Exercise” from the “EMCS2 – The Follow Up” video, thanks to all.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – the “One Exercise” is a cure-all for just about any problem with the swing between back swing and finish.
