I received an email a while back from someone interested in the MCS Golf Swing, and the question they asked me was, did I have a “system” available that they could sign up for to learn it.
My first thought was, “why on earth would I have a ‘system’ for learning the golf swing?”
I mean, I’ve had private member sections in the past, where people could join, but it wasn’t to actually learn the MCS Golf Swing – everything one needs to learn it is in any one of my videos.
You read that correctly – IF people listen and pay attention to how the progressive pivot drills work and how they illustrate exactly how the body is built to move with regards to a golf swing, they can prove that the optimal Classic Golf Swing motion is the way to swing.
They would also destroy the Modern Golf Swing nonsense forever – until the next time people decide to reinvent the wheel and proceed to forget how the body is built to move.
As I said, I don’t have time to fully rehab and get back to peak swinging shape for a video, so I was waiting before swinging into production to see if I could do so – that didn’t happen as I wasn’t able to actually get out until a week ago.
Fortunately, I have seen enough from my comeback swinging to know that I have video in my archive that essentially looks like how I’d be swinging today were I in peak form – I had been planning on this video in the autumn of 2022, but I got sidetracked with other investigations and spent the next couple of years looking into various things swing-wise.
I have been holding off the swing part of the upcoming video since I completed the pivot exercise phase because I want to showcase exactly how the model and pivot work with the proper setup.
I went looking through my archives and found a day in October 2022 where my setup was nearly exactly what I would say is optimal face-on, and exactly how I would want to see it down the line, and today I’ll show the face-on.
It may just be a natural progression or evolution of concepts, but I’ve spent a great deal of time over the years talking about the setup with the “Leaning A” stance and the proper ball position.
I have even said that the setup is most of the golf swing – get that right and you’re 90% of the way there, correct?
It’s not a major one, but I can’t ignore that my foot setup has changed from the one I had when I developed the MCS Classic Golf Swing model.
It isn’t one that would be a make-or-break situation in the model, but it is one that I feel makes the model optimal as opposed to very close to it.
As I’m going over the tutorial for performing the now-standard pivot action for the MCS Golf Swing (Classic or Late Hogan, they’re the same from slightly different setups), I can’t help remarking upon how the model will change peoples’ view of the golf swing.
When I say that there is a so-much-simpler way to perform a pivot with complete lateral stability and effortless leverage, I am deadly serious, WAX Nation.
It’s a common occurrence with my scoliosis, so I wasn’t surprised when I once again hurt my back yesterday morning.
I had stood up and turned only slightly to my right, to put the TV remote down behind me, and felt a familiar tweak in my left sacroiliac joint muscles, followed by the eye-watering pain that accompanies this.
What I gleaned from having my kids try the Classic Golf Swing pivot is that there is too much motion when people try to pivot.
Whether it’s lateral motion of the head, upper torso or the hips, it’s too much motion, because a mechanically-correct pivot action using the hips and legs should be quiet.
Alright, WAX Nation – I’ve been thinking about the pivot exercise for a couple of days, because I made a rather bold statement that if one can’t learn a proper pivot from this exercise, perhaps golf wasn’t for one.
I immediately came up hard against that claim when I took my college aged kids and tried to prove that assertion with them – they literally brain-glitched when trying to follow along with me.
