I may have mentioned a little while back that I’ve just begun to study Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
While I’m just getting into it (I started at the behest of my good friend The Welshman, who is enthused, to say the least), I’m already getting some valuable insights on the nature of leverage and how important the hips & legs are in producing the same.
I’ve said since my early days in golf swing research and analysis that modern golf instructors and “gurus” seem to be trying to tell people that the rules of athletic motion are somehow different in golf as opposed to other sports.
That of course is so wrong as to be laughable, but I’m not the one trying to sell it, I’m just saying that athletic motion is athletic motion.
I’m not talking about the down swing, of course – because if you’re worrying about your club path, then you’ve got other fish to fry.
That’s due to the fact that the down swing takes place faster than you can adjust.
First of all, I would like to make it very clear to anyone who has been reading my postings the past couple of weeks – this is pretty advanced stuff.
I had an email conversation with a gentleman just on the past weekend, and we correspond quite a bit on the swing, where he suggested that my focus on the right side of the swing might cause people to turn early or over-rotate, and I agreed, with one caveat:
See the bottom of the posting for the “coming” feature.
It may be counter-intuitive to some or most, but the best thing you can try to do with your golf swing is to “swing the hands,” and not the club head.
First, a note of thanks to all the new readers and visitors to WAX Golf who have taken the opportunity to enjoy the discount on the 3 Video MCS Golf Swing series.
I’ll be terminating the End Of Season sale soon, so there’s still time to get the last remaining available downloads!
You’ve heard me discussing the aspects of leverage and how to maximize it on the down swing with Fluffy a.ka. TFerguson, and let me show you in my own swing how I do it.
First, you have the stable head on the back pivot, enabled by the MCS Golf Swing’s right-biased “Leaning ‘A'” tilt and proper hip action.
This is not to say that you can’t generate leverage without a stable head on the back swing or down swing pivots, or if you shift laterally during the swing.
I’m talking about optimal leverage which preserves consistency, and that of course has to do with the “One Major Move.”
By golly, I think I’ve got something for everyone regarding the nature of the “One Major Move” in the MCS Golf Swing and why this is the way you want to do it.
I’ve talked about how we are not machines, so we can’t swing like machines, correct?
I’ve got nearly everything taken care of with the upcoming “Project 2018” video, with the next thing to check off underway.
The would be getting hi-res slow motion swing clips recorded.
