Just as the 3 most important things in real estate or property are Location, Location & Location, you will always hear my belief that the 3 most important parts of the golf swing are Setup, Setup and Setup.
Here is a driver swing from a young Tiger Woods, if you’ll allow me to point out things that would have concerned me at the time.
You’ll all know, those of you from the early days of WAXGolf.com (after I mothballed the DJ Watts Golf blog) that I didn’t really BUILD the MCS Classic Golf Swing model.
All I did was aggregate the best elements of the greatest Classic era swingers and remove their personal idiosyncratic parts, leaving the distilled model we’ve been working with for the last few years.
Shot on July 20th, 2018 – I’d give this swing a C+ grade, as I have since fixed the grip (it wasn’t standard neutral here) and of course I’ve done yeoman’s work in optimizing my stance, back pivot and downswing.
I was chagrined at the time that I was only able to shoot video that day at 30 fps – my up-to-400 fps camera had broken and I hadn’t yet sprung for an iPhone to make the need of a camera obsolete going forward.
I’d like to thank M.L. for emailing me the link to the George Knudson swing highlights that I’ve never seen before.
The quality is amazing and I immediately could see so much more clearly just how MCS his swing was.
It doesn’t matter that the swing action most people associate with Moe Norman is the quirky, arm-out half-swing from his later years.
He had a more traditional-looking swing when he made his name in the game of golf, winning 2 Canadian Amateur titles which then earned him a berth at the Masters two years running in the 1950s.
I haven’t been able to check out much of Monte Scheinblum’s blog, though I know a few of my Members are very complimentary.
First off, Monte is a teaching guy who has actually walked the walk (Long Drive Champion), so looking at his swing, I can see he’s not just a guy who hits a long ball and can’t tell you how to do it.
He’s also a good enough golfer, besides being a swing powerhouse, to have qualified to play in a PGA Tour event.
