I’m reaching the end of working on side issues that have delayed my completion of the upcoming MCS Golf Swing video, so I can confidently say that the video will completed and available next month.
Exactly when next month, I cannot promise, unfortunately – I just know that, unless something unanticipated arises, I’ll have the time to complete the reviewing and compilation of material from the previous videos and my swing archive and get this project done.
Nelly Korda is currently ranked 2nd on the Rolex World Rankings and has spent a considerable time at No. 1.
I didn’t know much about her except for the Korda name as she turned pro around the time I stopped watching televised golf much, so I decided to check her out after reading a headline about her withdrawal from an event with an injury two weeks ago.
This will likely be the major theme of the upcoming MCS Golf Swing video.
We all know that there are many different ways to swing a golf club, from the optimal motion to everything in between that and “dead wrong.”
Unfortunately for the golfing world at this moment, the Modern Golf Swing with the traditional lower back twist and restricted hip turn is “dead wrong.”
I cannot even think of a worse way to swing than in this manner. Continue reading
Both Jack Nicklaus and Ben Hogan had a setup that was considered “the same for all clubs,” and that is the way you want to swing as well.
I’ve been saying forever now that you want to setup more like Nicklaus did (I don’t think he invented the setup, but as the G.O.A.T., we’ll just call it the “Nicklaus” setup), and that you want Hogan’s pivot action.
The old-timers here will know very well of my forays into studying left and right-dominant swinging – it came about because I discovered back in 2022 that I was swinging left-dominant, and how it had caused several problems with consistency.
They’ll all remember as well my trip down the right-dominant rabbit hole, looking at Mike Dunaway’s swing model, which is the most powerful swing I’ve ever seen, mechanically.
I am still finding nuggets in my previous swing videos to present in the upcoming video and, to be honest, it’s slow-going because there’s so much in those previous videos that the problem is not what to include, but what to leave out.
It is my goal to make this the simplest video I have ever made, because let’s face it – we’re talking about a golf swing, not rocket science.
I was sent a couple of swings of a young amateur golfer Down Under, and his dad tells me that he played a young lad 9-10 years ago, stopped playing and resumed the game about a year ago.
I have to confirm his exact age, but he’s obviously mid-to-late teens, and I love this swing action. It’s obviously a Classic Golf Swing, or you wouldn’t be seeing it.
The video clip I just watched should be titled “How to complicate a golf swing beyond belief and ensure years of expensive lessons,” because that’s all I can see in it.
I know that everyone thinks that this is the way Ben Hogan swung, but once again, no one pays attention to what he was doing, and so you get people who have no business being golf swing instructors because what they’re teaching is ridiculous and harmful.
It’s a pity Tom Weiskopf didn’t win more majors than the one U.S. Open that he bagged, because his golf swing has to be one of my top 5 to watch.
It was powerful and athletic, so mechanically-correct – and if you want to know how powerful, Jack Nicklaus said that the only golfer who could consistently out-drive him was Weiskopf.
I went looking through my archive again today in search of something to which I could apply my “box theory” regarding a proper MCS setup and pivot action.
From July 2018, I found the perfect example – a very nice swing action that resulted in a massive and straight drive – but one that didn’t look quite right to me setup-wise.
It was only with hand-eye coordination and a little bit of athleticism that I was able smash this drive on line.
