This wouldn’t be the 1st thing that has Tiger Woods double-crossing himself – the whole “swing left” move where you’re coming down on plane and then trying to yank the club left at impact.
How can anyone be surprised when the ball goes left?!?
I like to share the feedback I get on the MCS videos and the blog in general from time to time, and thanks to those of you send me this affirmation, it makes it all worthwhile to know that what I work on has an impact on others.
First, “W”who contacted me recently to share his thoughts, being a brand-new reader and who had been searching for a way to swing in his senior Continue reading
I wrote about Francesco Molinari’s great Classic Golf Swing model when he won the Quicken Loans last summer and then in the same month, the Open Championship, and while I’ve never heard anything he has to say about the swing…
I wrote a post about Cameron Champ’s prodigious length last week and made the point that he could indeed get even more distance out of his swing with better impact conditions.
However here is a point un-made that I think is even more valid: he doesn’t really need more distance, but with an improvement to his impact conditions (and shall I say, swing model), he could get the same distance with less effort.
This gives new meaning to the term “bomb and gouge.”
78 players averaged 300 yards or more driving in the new season’s 1st event at the Safeway Open on the weekend.
I know most people won’t have heard of Anthony Kim if they are new to the game (new meaning in the last 5 to 8 years), and he’s no longer in the game, but I ran across a clip of him swinging.
All I could think about watching it was, “Now, that is a tight back swing!”
What on earth is going on in the world of Modern Golf?
It seems that every time I turn the TV on to watch a golf broadcast (or have it watch me while I’m working), I hear something mind-boggling regarding golf swing mechanics or otherwise.
First of all, you can’t take much out the fact that Dustin Johnson hit Jack Nicklaus’ old persimmon driver 290 yards carry and 318 total distance, because I’m pretty sure he was hitting modern balls.
You’ll recall it wasn’t too long ago (two weeks, actually), when I blogged about noticing a new terminology in TV golf swing analysis – that of “vertical lift” to excuse the “flying foot” symptom of several notable pros, and to make that swing flaw into something positive.
If you’ve noticed the lack of posting activity over the weekend, I’m just focused on getting the “MCS – The Kinetic Chain” video finished and released this week.
As I said last week, I had a technical disaster wipe out all of my final editing work a week ago Friday and had to start all over again.
