There are so many good reasons to have the biased address setup – first and foremost, it’s the only one that is mechanically-optimal, because if the head is not supposed to move around during the swing, then it should be at address where it will be at impact.
That’s already been established, but here’s another benefit – with the biased address setup, those with steep or over-the-top swing plane issues will find that the setup helps keep the club in the “slot” coming down from Continue reading
Well, after viewing and editing the video clips from Friday’s Driver and a couple of irons swings, all I can say is “Wow!”
What a difference a setup adjustment can make visually, especially when I watch the swings down the line.
I did one thing yesterday when I went to work on my setup and swing yesterday, which was to get as tall and upright as I could.
It made a dramatic difference, as you will see when comparing my setup down the line with earlier this summer.
For those of you who have grown accustomed to the “throw release” concept of the power or trailing arm action, here’s one for you in order to really get the Mike Dunaway in your down swing – think “straight down” with your throw.
You all know that I’ve been pursuing Dunaway’s down swing action for my own particular MCS Golf Swing model, and let’s keep in mind that there can be many variations of the MCS swing action.
WAX Nation, near-tragedy averted!
I actually nearly deleted the first set of swings I had made yesterday and that would have been… not good…
I had come home with two sets of swings with because I moved to another, quieter part of the range to get some last swings in before I went home, and I only looked at the 2nd set, thinking they’d be the better ones.
Update – I actually did “get it,” but I had two sets of swings recorded and looked at the wrong one before posting. Full details in the July 25 posting. /update
I’ve talked about my obsession with swinging as close to I can in accordance with the MCS Golf Swing model.
While adding the “full body” aspect to the right-only swing action from my last session postings, I came oh-so-close.
I took a look at my latest, nearly-there swings right arm only, and again I was struck by how amazingly neutral my swing plane is using the MCS Golf Swing model.
There are of course three types of swing planes – neutral or on-plane, steep and flat, with the neutral one of course being the preferable one, and I’ll tell you why I believe that is so.
I want to show everyone who is right-dominant or not, how effective and powerful it is when you maximize the right arm action in the down swing.
I haven’t yet got out to see if I can complete that last step of my personal swing journey, where I just last week managed to isolate the purely right arm action of the pivot and swing, to the full-body yet right-dominant action.
I’ve told you all about the challenges of swinging right-handed while being left-handed, the biggest one for me being the ability to swing with a right-dominant motion.
Today was an auspicious day for me, as I finally got a years-long flaw in my setup fixed this week, and right after that – bang – I was able to make right-dominant swings.
I have been working on my setup with regards to the down the line aspect and I nailed it on some swings yesterday, with a little more work to do to get my regular setup as good as the best ones.
